Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce

Last Thursday, we had an exciting day celebrating some major member milestones. First, we commemorated 50 years of saving lives with the team at ImpactLife, with speakers sharing their personal stories relating to blood donation. Then, the holidays came early at Bowl-A-Vard, where we celebrated their new ownership and venue relaunch with bowling, appetizers, drinks and a holiday décor. Thanks to ImpactLife and Bowl-A-Vard for the invites to these great events!
