Women in the Lead: Have Your Cake & Eat It, Too

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog.

The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce hosted a unique installment of the Women in the Lead series at the beautiful Working Man Winery. Usually a lunch & learn event, this session offered a refreshing twist: an evening of networking with a focus on personal connections.

This time, we embraced a speed-dating format where guests switched tables every few minutes and answered thought-provoking questions. The one rule — NO talking about work! This allowed for raw, authentic conversations and meaningful connections beyond our professional lives.

The evening was paired with a flight of wine tastings, provided by Working Man Winery. This perfect touch allowed guests to unwind, while connecting in a relaxed atmosphere.

Women in the Lead is coordinated by Nikki Jones of Compass Leadership Solutions. Her committment to empowering women is evident through her coordination of the series. By bringing women together from diverse backgrounds, Women in the Lead has created a supportive community where participants can share experiences and develop as professionals.

It is so inspiring to see how our Women in the Lead series continues to evolve, while sticking close to the underlying message of the importance of women supporting women. Let’s continue to lead, support, and uplift each other!

Vanilla Moose Coffee Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Written by Lebanon Wilson Chamber Marketing on . Posted in Chamber Blog, Ribbon Cuttings.

Vanilla Moose Coffee hosted a Ribbon Cutting on June 6 at their new retail location in Hamilton Station. The ceremony was conducted by the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce.

Vanilla Moose Coffee is a coffee trailer and café located in Lebanon.

“It’s always been a dream to run a coffee shop and create an inviting space,” stated Josh Luck, owner of Vanilla Moose Coffee.

While they specialize in serving specialty-grade, fresh roasted coffee; Vanilla Moose Coffee also has a tasty breakfast sandwich and lunch menu.

“I am passionate about the craft of coffee and experimenting to find the best way to present unique flavors,” Luck continued. “Coffee is incredibly complex, and a lot of shops don’t appreciate all you can do with it.”

Vanilla Moose Coffee initially opened in 2018 as a coffee trailer, followed by the opening of their café earlier this year.

“Through family, friends, and old classmates, I was able to get a foothold in the business world pretty quickly,” Luck said. “Without great people to rely on, it’s hard to maintain a successful business.”

Pictured with Vanilla Moose owners Josh Luck and Graci Luck are friends, family and staff. City of Lebanon Mayor Rick Bell, Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors and representatives are also pictured.
