We're almost done with the year, but we've still got some great opportunities left to network and make new connections. And because some of those opportunities occur this weekend and early next week, we wanted to go ahead and get the November newsletter out to you a few days early.
We're headed back to the East Village for our November Happy Hour to try out the brand new Camp Taco (where Rebel Kettle used to be), and stay tuned for one of my favorites - our annual Ugly Sweater Bowling Party returning in December.
In addition to the CLR events, there are suddenly plenty of other events happening around town, which is great to finally see.
I look forward to seeing everyone in November!
