Young Professionals growing in Waco
The Waco Tribune Herald has an excellent story by Bill Teeter today about the growth in young professionals in the Greater Waco area. President Erik Hill and YP members Lara Robertson and Rusty Betts were all quoted about their story as young professionals in Waco. From social opportunities to business networking, the Waco YPs continue to serve as a common ground for young professionals in our area. Check out the story: Waco Seeing More Growth in Young Professionals.
May Meeting at Mammoth Site
The Waco Mammoth Site will be opening after hours just for the Waco Young Professionals for a private tour of the site. The Waco Mammoth site holds the record for the largest known concentration of skeletons of mammoths believed to have died in the same event. The site is soon to be Waco's first National Monument through the National Park Service.
This is a great opportunity to support the National Park System in Waco.
The cost for the entry fee is $5. We need to receive your RSVP and payment by May 9th to confirm your attendance. You may pay by cash or check at any YP event or by mailing or dropping off the payment at the Greater Waco Chamber, 101 S. Third Street, Waco, TX 76701. Please make checks payable to the Greater Waco Chamber with YPs in the memo line.
The Mammoth Site is located at 6220 Steinbeck Bend Road.
