About this Event

🤝 Meeting 25–40+ local business owners and professionals

🎤 A chance to briefly introduce yourself and your business (45–60 second introductions)

💡 New referral partners, collaborations, and fresh ideas

🍽️ As always, delicious food, deserts - provided by Sugarcane & Shephard - and light refreshments while connecting in a welcoming environment

🏢 An opportunity to tour and learn more about Carolina Eye Care on Merrimon and the services they provide to our community

Whether you're brand new to networking or a familiar face, we'd love to welcome you.
