Fall 2017 Networking Night

On September 26, 2017, we had a really big crowd for Networking Night!  About 80 ladies came to drink good wine, eat great appetizers and mingle with one another at the beautiful Belvedere Restaurant.

Sadly, this was our last Networking Night at the Belvedere, as it has closed. They will be missed.  Stay tuned for our next Networking Night notice, and we will let you know where our new get together location will be!  In the meantime, stay warm!
