Coffee & Conversations

Description Join us for Coffee & Conversations, a casual networking event held every 2nd & 4th Friday at 8 am! This event offers the perfect opportunity to promote your business, share ideas, and make meaningful connections in a relaxed setting. Each session features a brief presentation by a guest speaker on topics ranging from government updates and non-profit initiatives to community projects, business trends, and local concerns. In this session Jason Stieber and Heather Campbell from Yakima Valley Libraries will share an inside look at your local library system. They'll discuss the history of the library, how it is funded, and their current strategic plan with a strong focus on early literacy. The presentation will also highlight the all-ages Summer Reading Program, designed to help prevent the "summer slide" in school-age children. Learn how participants can log reading time, complete challenges to earn raffle entries, and take part in engaging events happening across all 15 library branches! Enjoy coffee from North Town Coffeehouse and a light breakfast sponsored by Shaw & Sons/ Brookside Funeral Home while expanding your network and staying informed about the issues that matter to our community. Whether you're looking to share your story, learn from others, or simply start your day with great conversations, Coffee & Conversations is the place to be! Dates: Every 2nd and 4th Friday Time: 8:00 to 9:00 am Location: 10 N 9th St. Yakima 98901 Cost: Free! If you or your business/ organization is interested in becoming a speaker for this event, please call us at 509-248-2021 or email us at chamber@yakima.org
