About the Ballantyne Breakfast Club
Community Information Forum
Since it was founded in 2001 the goal of the Ballantyne Breakfast Club has been to provide a forum for the exchange of information between the area residents, business leaders, developers, elected officials and services providers.
The founders and supports of the Ballantyne Breakfast Club are committed to this exchange of information so that our area can grow and prosper.
Our meetings are free and open to all wishing to attend and has been described like neighbors meeting
over a cup of coffee to talk about what is new in the neighborhood.
Our meeting on Dec. 5, 2009 was very special for our organization as it was recognized in an official proclamation issued by then Mayor Pat McCrory in his last official act of office proclaiming it as Ballantyne Breakfast Day.
We appreciate and the support of our members, our long list of guest speakers, the Bissell Family of Companies and others including.....the Ballantyne Chapter of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. We encourage everyone in the business community to join this local Chapter of the Chamber of Commerce and participate in their meetings and activities.
