Business After Hours

The September social offered a behind the scenes look at Skookum Creek Tobacco. Mike Araiza and his dedicated team provided tours of their state of the art manufacturing facility. The native-owned company is located on the Squaxin Island Indian Reservation. By investing the profits, it secures the tribe’s economic future and while also supporting our local community.

October was hosted at El Sarape Cantina at Evergreen Square. Guests were invited to enjoy their signature street tacos for a networking fiesta. The Cantina features a full bar, Mexican style fare, pool and shuffleboard tables, and an event space with seating for a crowd. They are also well known for its fun specials, live music stage, pop-up events, and community fundraisers.

Our Community Credit Union hosted the November 8 Business After Hours at their spacious Mt. View Branch. We reeled in good conversation and celebrated the o-fish-al transition to the OURCU brand with swag to match. Guests also had the opportunity to share well wishes with departing CEO Bert Fisher as he casts a line for retirement and welcome longtime leader Ryan Drake to his new role.

Business After Hours is a members’ networking social, typically held on the second Wednesday of each month. Want to learn more? Call the Chamber at (360) 426-2021 or email events@masonchamber.com.
