The third week of each month means local business groups in East Cobb are holding their monthly luncheons. 
It’s not too late to register for them, including the East Cobb Business Association luncheon that’s Tuesday from 11-1 at the Olde Towne Athletic Club (4950 Olde Towne Parkway).
The guest speaker is Jen Carfagno, meteorologist and host of AMHQ program at The Weather Channel.
This year the ECBA expanded its luncheon hours to include more networking (for the first half hour), and there’s an additional networking session built into the program.
The cost is $20 in advance for members, $25 in advance for visitors. The cost at the door is $30 for everyone. Click here to register.
The ECBA is also looking for volunteers later this week to help with one of its ongoing community initiatives. They’ll be assembling sandwiches for MUST Ministries’ summer lunch program for needy kids.
The lunch-packing takes place from 10-noon Friday at the Foothills Community Room (1407 Cobb Parkway North). Parking is behind the building, and you’ll enter at the blue and gold door marked for visitors and volunteers.
Here’s more on what MUST does in the summertime.
And don’t forget ECBA’s Friday East Cobb Open Networking breakfast at Egg Harbor Cafe. It’s a new location, but the same informal setting to meet and greet fellow local business professionals.
