Weekly Opportunities: October 2026, Week 4

Hi friends! The last week of October is here, and there are plenty of ways to connect with our Greater EMC Chamber community. From our Leading Ladies Luncheon to new member ribbon cuttings and a little Halloween fun, this week brings opportunities to celebrate local businesses and spend time together.

And with November right around the corner, now is a great time to reserve your place at our next monthly luncheon or sign up for a firsthand look inside our local school districts.

Halloween Fun at The Terraces at Kingwood Town Center

A big thank-you to our sponsor, The Terraces at Kingwood Town Center, an independent living community bringing comfort, connection, and convenience to your loved ones.

On October 29, the community is hosting one of its favorite trick-or-treat events, with two time slots to choose from:

• 2:30 to 4:00 p.m.
• 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Bring the kids in their costumes! Residents will be handing out toys and prizes, and parents can enjoy a coffee bar. There will also be a Halloween backdrop for those fun costume photos.
