Power in Partnership Breakfast - CHANGE OF VENUE!

The Rowan Chamber of Commerce has changed the venue of the PIP breakfast to the Wallace Educational Forum (500 N. Main St.) on Thurs., Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m. Unfortunately, Trinity Oaks is undergoing some unexpected construction and could not host the event. Trinity Oaks will still cater the breakfast!
