NETWORKING OPPORRTUNITY
Plymouth Business Connections is a networking opportunity in the Plymouth area sponsored by the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce. On the second Thursday of each month businesses and nonprofits are invited to attend to share information about their business. Everyone is welcome and you do not have to be a chamber member to attend. The business that is the host of the month provides breakfast or lunch and may choose to host at their facility or at the chamber office.
June 11th, Operation: Quiet Comfort will host the breakfast at the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce office at 120 North Michigan St. in downtown Plymouth. Breakfast will be available at 7:15 a.m. Operation: Quiet Comfort will have the opportunity to share for 10-15 minutes about our organization. Everyone will have a couple minutes to do a commercial for their business, and you are encouraged to bring business cards and/or brochures to share. Depending on the number of people that come, it is usually finished by 8:30 or 9:00 at the latest.
We couldn't do it without volunteers!
Our next monthly packing night is Thursday, June 11th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. EST at 17671 13th Road, Plymouth, IN. Everyone is welcome. There are always sit-down jobs, heavy lifting, and everything in between.
If you have a group that wants to volunteer at another time, contact Jan at [email protected] or 574-936-1424 to schedule. We appreciate everyone!

Our troops need all the prayers and good thoughts we can send. We send our heart felt gratitude to those serving and to the families supporting them. We honor our fallen heroes. (Reminder: We are a non-political organization.)

NOTE: We request that cards NOT have a "get well" message.
PLEASE remember we send
over 1000 cards of appreciation and encouragement EVERY month! So keep those cards coming!
Buy cards or make your own. We welcome cards and notes from ALL ages. Why not sit down with your kids or grandkids and send a heartfelt message to our troops who are far from friends and family.
