“Mi Casa Su Casa Cafe opened in 2007 and became a Chamber member through the generosity of Jon Scott, who believed in our potential and recognized that a Chamber membership would help us be more successful. Jon’s sponsorship opened up a multitude of doors and allowed us to network, grow our sales and expand our business, and we have been members ever since. I am eternally grateful to Jon for the opportunity and to the GRCA for contributing to our success.”
