The newly elected Governor, legislators, County & City officials will be invited to this event.

This is an awesome opportunity to make valuable business connections, have a direct conversation with your local legislators, enjoy fabulous appetizers and a cash bar! There is no charge to attend this important event, but registration is required HERE.

PLASTIC DRINKING STRAWS
Plastic straws are everywhere. From the swizzle stick that we use to stir our morning coffee to the straw in our milkshake, sources estimate that we go through over 500 million plastic straws a day in the US alone! That’s a lot of straws. And they only get used once. Not only that, but you can’t put those straws into your single-sort recycling. For business owners, straws are a big expense! Click HERE for ideas to save money and recycle more.

Coffee, Breakfast & NETWORKING!
