Freeport, Bahamas - On a surprisingly cool July evening the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce
(GBCC) members and guests were treated to a wonderful Mix and Mingle (M&M)
at GB’s newest hot spot, the Flying Fish. Recently voted the #1 restaurant by Trip Advisor
for The Bahamas, Flying Fish and the owners Tim and Rebecca Tibbitts (pictured above) teamed up
with the GBCC to host the monthly business event at their new outside bar. “The Chamber is delighted that Flying
Fish extended the offer to host our monthly M&M at it's their fabulous
restaurant,” said Lisa Turnquest, GBCC 2nd Vice President. “It’s
precisely the membership experience we are endeavouring to cultivate. The role
of the Chamber fundamentally is to be a bridge with the business community,
networking various companies locally, nationally and internationally. The turn
out was tremendous and we are so pleased with the support.” (Photo: Erik J. Russell)

The GB Chamber of Commerce monthly Mix and Mingle was one of the largest turnouts for the
Chamber and many members enjoyed the opportunity to mingle in such a great
atmosphere. Flying Fish was a wonderful venue for this event. “The Chamber mix
and mingles really are a great chance to meet new business people on the island
and network,” said attendee James Sarles, President of James Sarles Realty (pictured far right).
“The chamber has a lot of young dynamic business people and it is
important that we as a business community come together at events like these to
share ideas and help Freeport succeed. For those who missed this event
you missed a nice evening and I encourage you to make an effort to come to the
next one.” (Photo: Erik J. Russell)
