Lou also reminded us about our co-hosting of a Chamber Business After Hours on February 27th along with Boston Pizza.  They would provide the food, and our Club would take care of the refreshments.  The event would start at 5:30 pm and members of the business community will be invited to participate.  It will be an opportunity to nibble and network. Save the Date
