Anchor Bank Hosts October Business After Hours

Once again, Anchor Bank in Sunrise Village hosted a great fall holiday party for Chamber members.  Our October Business After Hours featured the amazing staff at Anchor Bank, tasty beer, brats and sauerkraut from Mama Stortini's (rave reviews on the pretzel rolls) and traditional German festival photo opportunities that put smiles on everyone's faces.  Check out the photos below and be sure to stop in at Anchor Bank and say hi when you're in the area.  If you're like our members last Thursday, you won't want to leave.  Many of our members stayed well after closing talking business and catching up on the latest news.  A big Chamber thank you to Anchor Bank and their wonderful hospitality.
