✨ A BIG thank you to Tyler Cantrell, owner of Cantrell Christmas Lights & Power Washing, for presenting at Breakfast Club!

Tyler shared all about his Christmas light installation business and how he helps customers create the perfect holiday look. 🎄

He handles it all—from helping design the display and installing the lights to taking them down and storing them after the season. And because he uses actual bulbs, customers can even change up their colors!

Tyler says he begins installing lights around October 21st and serves approximately a 40-mile radius around Springfield. He aims to have the lights down by late March.

Thank you, Tyler, for sharing your business and expertise with us! 👏

After nearly 27 years of caring for our community, Dr. Bill Holmes is retiring from patient care. His last day seeing patients will be September 3, 2026.

Dr. Holmes opened Chesterfield Eyeworks with a simple goal: help people see better and care for them like family. That mission grew into decades of friendships, memories and a career he calls the greatest job in the world.

While we’ll miss seeing him in the exam room, we’re excited for this next chapter as he spends more time with family and enjoys what’s ahead. ❤️

📣 Thursday, August 20 will be Dr. Holmes’ final Breakfast Club presentation—a special opportunity to hear from him before retirement.

If you’re unable to make the August meeting, there’s another chance to say farewell! Join us for an open house celebrating Dr. Holmes’ retirement and Vision Clinic’s 1st anniversary.

🎉 Tuesday, September 1 | 4–6 p.m.
📍 Chesterfield Eyeworks | 1650 S. Enterprise

We’re incredibly grateful for Dr. Holmes’ care, friendship and legacy. Thank you, Dr. Holmes!

There’s something special about our Breakfast Club. ☕

Every seat around the table is filled by a business owner or decision-maker, and because we’re industry exclusive, each business category has just one representative. That means we collaborate, support one another, and build each other up—not compete.

We’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and the businesses that make up this group.

Know someone who would be a great fit? We’d love to meet them and see if business builders is the right fit. 🥰
