There are still booth opportunities available for the event.
There are several reasons why you should join them for this year’s health and wellness fair. There will be an opportunity to connect with the Mission community and show your support, as well as a networking opportunity to meet potential customers, partners, and fellow Chamber members. Local businesses can contribute to the community’s health and well-being with free medical services. Of course, marketing gives you a chance to showcase your business to a captive audience.
