“Every year, we look forward to opening the Hancock House doors for the After Business Mixer,” said LARCH President Bill Dolback. It’s great opportunity to see our fellow TACC members and enjoy the beautiful holiday decor all around the museum.”
The Chamber’s “After Business Mixers” provide a networking forum for Chamber Members, area business people, and organizations. These events offer an opportunity to showcase the host and promote the door prize sponsors. Networking and connecting with fellow Chamber Members is a key component of membership and an effective way to market your business. Chamber Members, area businesses, and organizations are encouraged to take advantage of this and all TACC networking opportunities.
The Hancock House is home to the LARCH, formerly the Ticonderoga Historical Society. Founded in 1897 and chartered in 1909, they advanced the preservation and interpretation of history through their collections, programs, and community outreach, preserving the areas past for the future. LARCH makes area history an integral part of community life by connecting past and present. The Hancock House is a museum, research library, and gift shop. They also plan and host several events and programs throughout the year. The LARCH is a not-for-profit organization.
The Hancock House will have four floors of the elegant mansion decorated for the holiday season as part of their Festival of Trees. This year’s theme, “Holiday Memories,” will be featured throughout December. Visitors can explore the displays Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM until December 31st.

3 Myths about After Business Mixers & Networking Events BUSTED!
Myth: I don’t have time to go to After Business Mixers.
Busted: You don’t have to be there from 5:30 – 7:00. Stop by for 15 or 20 minutes and make some great new contacts.
Myth: It’s awkward…I won’t know anybody there.
Busted: Ask for a Chamber Ambassador or Board Member when you arrive. These outgoing volunteers will introduce you to the crowd and then you will know lots of people. You can also connect with an Ambassador, Board Member, or TACC Staff Member ahead of time.
Myth: I don’t need to go – I’m on social media.
Busted: There is no substitute for face-to-face networking. People do business with people they know…so come to After Hours and get to know more people.
No excuses – we’ll see you at the next After Business Mixer/Networking Opportunity!
