"Jan's Towing employees and customers are very much enjoying steaming hot, freshly brewed coffee or hot chocolate right here in our lobby. Alfred Gutierrez has provided a great machine with fresh ground beans and the choices of sweetner, creamer, and different combinations. The machine is maintained and serviced by Alfred himself and, if we need him sooner all we have to do is call. The best thing ......this service is totally free to our company with a low cost per cup of a fresh, hot beverages and absolutely no maintainance. Thank you GRAND SLAM COFFEE for a great service!! " Annette-Jan's Towing, May 27, 2008
"My son and I went to Tax-Saver and were very happy with the service. Don was very professional and asked a lot of questions trying to get us all the deductions possible. I recommend him very highly so please try him out." Sarah Parker- K&S Snaks April 7, 2008
On our trip to India, we visited flower shops that was of real value and interest to my wife Rosi. She brought home many new and interesting designs that are native of India. She still corresponds with a lady whom we met in India. Still exchanging pictures and ideas. If you enjoy traveling these two trips have been a wealth of information and knowledge. Not to mention networking. This is networking at it’s finest. Many of our fellow chamber members still order their flowers from us. I hope and pray that the Irwindale Chamber continues to offer these trips because to me it is a win win situation for everyone involved. And after all this is what a merchant is all about, making contacts!" March 27, 2008 Gene & Rosi Medrano, Rancho Duarte Florist

“The Irwindale Chamber has been a client of Helping Heroes and we have enjoyed working and getting the Chamber visible through our media marketing campaign, but it has been our working relationship with Lisa that has been the delight factor in making the 'news' together! Lisa and her staff are wonderful to work with! Lisa brings creativity, an open-mind to change, and years of experience to the table. All of these components are reflected by the way this particular Chamber has come full-circle with her leadership in such a short time! We have been members of over ten Chambers throughout the years, this is the only one we continue to invest in because its the only Chamber we continue to see a return on that investment for our company. Lisa and the Chamber are two recommendations we are honored to give thumbs up for...learn more and join today and your business and investment will be enhanced too!” Placed on Linkedin.com February 21, 2008

What particularly sets her apart is a sincere desire and genuine ability to listen to the needs of her members & colleagues, and her community. She enthusiastically leads cutting edge projects, and at the same time uses her hands-on, down-to-earth-personality to continually help connect people well, and foster solid business growth. When Lisa is behind something, it will happen!” Placed on Linkedin.com February 16, 2008

“The Irwindale Chamber of Commerce is one of the most forward thinking, active, exciting chambers I've encountered. As a business owner and leader I am a member of and active in several chambers. Since resources are always limited, we are constantly evaluating the value we receive from our various memberships. Membership in the Irwindale Chamber is consistently ranked as one of the most valuable since we are able to directly tie business to our membership and participation in the chamber. As the President and CEO of the Irwindale Chamber of Commerce, Lisa IS the chamber and the driving force behind the chamber's success.” Placed on Linkedin.com February 14, 2008
