From the President

Local area business and neighborhood patrons that support our local businesses, greetings and welcome! Membership in The Jefferson Park Chamber provides an opportunity for you all to come together, this is your beginning. Monthly meetings and networking events keep us in touch, this is your progress. Committee’s offer an array of volunteer opportunities to work together supporting & highlighting the Jefferson Park experience, this is our success.

My name is Laura Hahn and I attended my first Chamber meeting, representing my small manufacturing business, H. Limestone, Inc. 5 years ago. Quickly I became involved as a general member attending monthly meetings and volunteering on committees. That was my beginning. I was asked to be a board member 3 months later and served as the Chairperson for our Bingo Fundraising efforts. In addition I served on the Jeff Fest committee and since have been the Chairperson for this event in 2011 and 2012. In November of 2010 I was elected Treasurer of the Chamber. In November of 2012, I was elected the President of the JPCC. This is my progress. I am honored and full of enthusiasm to work with each of you; your desire to be Chamber members and active participants will be OUR success.

Your Chamber is dedicated to working with Alderman John Arena and the business leaders in Jefferson Park to support and stimulate our local neighborhood economy. We are a neighborhood full of opportunity and diversity. Our transportation hub -the Jefferson Park Terminal, the Metra railway link, our proximity to two major Expressways, the stable low density neighborhoods, and our central location between downtown Chicago and O’Hare airport provide a tremendous opportunity for commerce. The avenues to Jefferson Park are plenty, and this is just the beginning. We are a diverse community in the Chicago area. Bringing unique and interesting cultural, dinning and shopping experience to our neighborhood brings us together will local and visiting patrons. This is our progress. Growing our business district and attracting new business will be our success. These successes will breed future successes in Jefferson Park.

Kind Regards

Laura Hahn
