Members of the community gathered for coffee, donuts and a good time. Those who attend also gained the opportunity to network with each other and gain a better understanding of the people in the city of Pikeville. So coffee and conversation is something we actually started back prior to the pandemic and something we've been trying to ease back into since, you know, the pandemic seized off a little bit. And this really just to bring in our members together just for a casual conversation, you know, just get the day started. A lot of our local businesses, you know, won't open up till 9 or 10 o'clock. So, you know, get them in here, you know, get a coffee and a donut, get to network with other people in the business community, you know, just to see what's going on. You know, we had folks from SOAR here today, the Big Sandy Area Development District, just kind of, you know, see what's going on in our region and seeing where we're at all together. Coffee and conversation is also a method of welcoming new chamber members. Chamber members and partners alike can expect a relaxing environment. Yeah, this is really a low pressure event. You know, as you could see in there, you know, it's just laid back to sit and drinking a cup of coffee. You know, a lot of people, if they join a new organization, they do feel a little bit of pressure and we don't want that. We want everyone to feel welcome and feel relaxed whenever, especially they're inside the Chamber of Commerce's walls. I mean, we're a place for businesses to grow and to feel comfortable and to be able to come to us if they need something. And that's just the environment that we want to have for our local businesses and members of our Chamber of Commerce. We're surrounded by a lot of businesses that love to help out and love to support the community, whether it be a large corporate business like Food City or a small local nonprofit like Faith Life Market in downtown Potville. We're very fortunate with those individuals who love to help out and love to lend a helping hand for events like this. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
