Attend our year-end networking event

Join us for our last in-person networking event of the year Tues Dec. 5, 5:30-7 p.m. at Paddy's Pub in West Newton. Weā€™ll have light refreshments (cash bar) and a chance to connect with area professionals as we get in the spirit of the season. Bring an unwrapped toy (newborn to age 10) or a $20 donation as the price of admission.

100% of donations collected via this online donation portal will be used to purchase gifts from Newton merchants to support the toy drive. No amount is too big or too small.
