West of the River Chamber Breakfast to Feature Howie Carr

AGAWAM — The West of the River Chamber of Commerce announced its Business Breakfast featuring speaker Howie Carr, an event which brings members and non-members together for a morning of breakfast and updates.

The event will take place on Thursday, Sept. 22 from 7 to 9 a.m. at Chez Josef in Agawam. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with local business people over breakfast, and later will enjoy an informational session by Carr, an award-winning front-page columnist for the Boston Herald. Known for his scathing exposes of local politicians, he has raised plenty of eyebrows and voices over the years. Carr, famous for pushing the envelope and not regretting that he went too far, is regularly featured on NBC, MSNBC, C-SPAN, Court TV, CNN, Fox News, and CBS.

Event sponsors include Reliable Temps, Spherion Staffing, and Haselkorn Inc. The event costs $35 for members and $40 for non-members. For more information or to register, visit www.westoftheriverchamber.com or call the West of the River Chamber of Commerce at (413) 426-3880.
