Roundtable Discussions and Social Luncheons
Our roundtable discussions are simply that. It's a great networking opportunity as fellow members sit with coffee and finger foods discussing a pre-selected topic. Our last discussion covered Contemporary Repertoire along with a Book Swap.

Twice a year in May and December, members gather at a favorite local restaurant to chat, mingle, and enjoy lunch together. These are a lot of fun with a nice mixture of business talk and storytelling. Join us at the next one!
