Members of the River Region Chamber of Commerce gathered recently at the newly opened Louisiana Federal Credit Union Training Facility in LaPlace for the first in a series of morning networking sessions dubbed “Chamber Perks.” Former Chamber Chairperson Rhonda Hotard said members have often requested more time to just network with other members before heading off to work in the morning. She said the Chamber Perks sessions will be held on the first Thursday of every month at a different Chamber member business. The next opportunity will be Thursday, May 5, at Riverside Urgent Care in LaPlace at 8 a.m. (Staff photo by Robin Shannon)
