Thank you to everyone that participated in the 5th Annual Forks and Corks on Friday night. The event was a big success! Attendees enjoyed many fine wines, food from West Allis and West Milwaukee restaurants and the lively music of Diamonds and Dreams.

We raised a substantial amount for the Chamber and donated $500 to the Education Foundation to support their programs. More information about the Education Foundation can be found here.

The Chamber would like to thank all of the sponsors of Forks and Corks.

Fridays event was made possible by PNC Bank. PNC has many local branches including three in West Allis (9330 W. Greenfield Ave, 10725 W. National Ave, 7501 W. Oklahoma Ave.). Stop by and see what PNC can do for you.

Diamonds and Dreams was sponsored by 88 Keys Piano Martini Lounge. 88 Keys opened last year on Greenfield Avenue and has brought a lot of people to downtown West Allis.
