The Northwest Chamber wants to help you kick off a new year of prosperous business with a free networking event on January 12 hosted by Legacy Bank. This is a perfect event to start building your contact base for the coming year.]]> Community CoffeeNWOKC Community Coffee
Thursday, January 12, 8 – 9 AM
Legacy Bank, 2801 W. Memorial Road (Memorial & May)

The Northwest Chamber wants to help you kick off a new year of prosperous business with a free networking event on January 12 hosted by Legacy Bank. Each month, a Chamber Member hosts “Community Coffee”. This event is open to both Members and Non-Members and everyone is invited to gather for casual networking and breakfast. This is a perfect event to start building your contact base for the coming year.

A little about Legacy Bank:

The idea of Legacy speaks to our approach to business and our intent in serving our customers.

…simple beginnings yielding strong tomorrows…

The corporate logo for Legacy Bank is an acorn silhouetted against the backdrop of an oak leaf. It calls attention to Oklahoma’s rural heritage and harkens to the concept of simple beginnings yielding strong tomorrows. Few things symbolize significant, sustained growth like a tree, especially the post oak. Its hardiness and stability made it popular among the pioneers who chose it for their fence posts, thus giving the tree its name.

We use this logo often and proudly representing not only a bank with deep roots in Oklahoma’s rural communities, but with a strong commitment to helping customers establish financial legacies of their own.

No RSVP Required – Invite the Office!
Light breakfast provided. Door Prizes!
