Another month has gone by quickly, which means we are closing up on the February centennial celebrations, in honor of Finland 100. The Finnish American Chamber of Commerce networking luncheon is coming up already this Friday, on February 17th! Join us and meet new people, network, foster your business and meet the Keynote Speakers, the Speaker of the Finnish Parliament Ms. Maria Lohela and Mr. Steven Grant, Mayor of Boynton Beach.
I would also like to thank all the participants who joined us for our Wine & Dive networking event on January 12th. It was good to see many new faces at the event.
Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss to register for the business luncheon on February 17th.
