Business + Networking Events Around Town
Good Morning,
A warm welcome to the 124 new folks who have joined us since last Monday! Every week, we share business + networking events around town so you know where to go to network and grow.
Hope you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend, and are coming into this 4-day work week fully rested! Starting next week, weβll be getting back to our regular Monday emails (barring anymore holiday interruptions).
Feedback Favor: Currently we send these emails around 10am, but weβre curious if thereβs a better time for our audience. Best way to learn is to ask, so please let us know by taking the poll at the end of this email. Thanks!
Alrighty, letβs get to it!
