BB5, Tuesday, December 11, 2018  (Sebastopol Chamber of Commerce)

We had a strikingly large turn out at our mixer on Tuesday afternoon.  We have had two successful turnouts during our "Business Before 5's.  Solful being the first on November 15, 2018 and the Sebastopol Chamber being the second.

Thank you to our host and Executive Director, Linda Collins, who always makes these events fun and interesting.  She is such an integral part in getting all to educate us on the businesses here in our community. 

Thank you all who took the time out of your busy day to attend the last Business Before/After 5 event of 2018.  We appreciate your dedication to our community!  As usually there were multiple groups networking and cultivating business relationships (giving one another great ideas/tips).  There were so many new and interesting businesses we were educated about as well as upcoming special events/meetings/advertising opportunities.

We introduced Mike Lucia (Mike Lucia Design-Build) who is new to our area and is our very own Elaine Lucia's brother (Leff Construction).
