General Membership Luncheon
Tacoma Country & Golf Club
June 11, 2026 / 11:30am-1:00pm
TOPIC: Meet The Cascadian: The Future of Local News
With the closure of The Suburban Times, many residents and businesses have wondered where they can turn for reliable local news and community information. Enter The Cascadian—a new community publishing platform dedicated to sharing the stories, events, people, and issues that matter most in Lakewood, University Place, Steilacoom, Tacoma, and beyond.
Founders Philip Lindholm and Walter Neary will share the story behind launching this exciting new nonprofit news organization, their vision for strengthening local journalism, and how businesses, nonprofits, and community members can help shape and support this growing platform.
Whether you’re interested in local government, community events, business news, or simply staying connected to what’s happening in our region, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Come learn how The Cascadian is working to inform, connect, and celebrate our community—one story at a time.
This luncheon is about more than a new news source. It’s about creating stronger connections between community stakeholders, elected leaders, and the business community. We’ll also unveil an exciting initiative that we believe will help elevate communication, transparency, and engagement across our part of the county.
Be among the first to hear what’s next.
Cost: $30/person prepaid by Friday, June 5, 2026. $40/person thereafter.
DRESS CODE: PLEASE NO JEANS, SWEATS OR COLLARLESS SHIRTS. As guests of this esteemed institution, we ask Chamber Members to maintain the decorum and respect the country club’s standards.
