The North Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce held a Business After Hours Wednesday, May 6, at Tucker Vision Center with host Dr. Terry Tucker.

It was an extremely successful event, said the chamber’s Lori Davidson.

“We had a great turnout,” she said. “We are looking for business sponsors to do this each month.”

The next major chamber function is the launch of “Weight Loss Wars 2009,” which begins Friday, May 15.

“It’s a weight loss challenge for thee entire community,” said Chamber President John Gardner.

Gardner was issued the challenge by Honorary Mayor Jarrod Cantrell in his first official proclamation as mayor, hoping to have the community be part of his health challenge.

The next chamber monthly business luncheon, held each month on the third Wednesday, will be held May 20 at Ichiban 2. The restaurant is located at 14651 N. Cleveland Ave., and begins at 111:30 a.m.

The chamber is now looking for community residents to come out and pledge to be part of the challenge and attend these events. Call 997-9111 for information.
