Lunch on the Clock (LOTC) is an informal business social gathering with a guest speaker and catered lunch. It was created to connect our members with other members and organizations and agencies who are committed to helping small businesses and communities grow. While LOTC attendance is geared to our membership, individuals have asked to be included when the topics are of interest to them. So, we welcome anyone who would like to learn more about services our local businesses have to offer. Registration is required. Continue reading for LOTC interinary and schedule.
