The lobby of Galaxy Porterville 9 Theatre was alive with the noise of conversation Friday morning around 7 a.m. for the Chamber of Commerce's monthly First Friday Coffee meeting.

The guest host for this month's meeting was Eagle Mountain Casino, who provided an assortment of freshly made breakfast foods for guests to enjoy before the crowd shuffled into Theater 2 to hear the casino's presentation.

Chamber President and CEO Monte Reyes welcomed the crowd who had settled into their seats.
