GATHER WE DID!
How appropriate that our first in-person BASH coming out of the Pandemic was hosted by Gather. Among the enthusiastic group who came to enjoy the evening were Mayor Kevin Wilk, Councilmember Loella Haskew, Chamber Board members Caitlin Sly, Matt Guichard, Lorna Van Ackeren, and Wanda Wallis, and the entire Chamber staff.
A huge thank you to Amanda Pinkham and David Sachs for opening their doors to us after a long year of Zoom Happy Hours. An additional thank you to Amanda Pinkham and Chef Lamont, co-owners of Montperi Catering & Events, for feeding us so deliciously. A great time was had by all!
