Perhaps enticed by the proximity of Hanna’s Restaurant across the promenade from City Hall, Rancho Santa Margarita Mayor Anthony Beall and City Planning Commissioner Bradley McGirr both popped in to Tuesday’s RSM Chamber midweek mixer to mingle with Rancho’s movers and shakers. All of the attendees toasted the success of the recent RSM Chamber of Commerce RanchoFest which attracted more than 7,000 visitors to the two day event which featured food, fun and festivities including several well-known local area rock bands The RSM Chamber crowds have been surprisingly well-attended by local business people who obviously enjoy the opportunity for networking with other local retail and business professionals. If attracting a big gathering of important business folks has anything to do with serving sumptuous appetizers and sturdy tumblers of adult beverages, then Mission Accomplished! This week’s big event at Hanna’s restaurant was no exception as the well-trained Hanna’s crews circled through the cheerful crowd tempting them with Lobster Spring Rolls with chimichurri and blue cheese dipping sauce, Hanna’s signature OCSliders slathered with cheddar cheese, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato on brioche buns, BBQ Chicken Quesadillas and a handful of other mouthwatering munchies. The RSM Chamber’s next event is on June 12th for their Annual Meet the Mayor at Tijeras Creek Golf Club Banquet Room from 5:30 - 8:00 pm. For information call(949) 433-2258
