Come one, come all! Our second YEPresent of the year will be held TONIGHT! We know, it is the THIRD Thursday of February, different from our normally scheduled 2nd Thusrday of the month event, but we wanted everyone to enjoy their Valentine's Day.

Join us tonight at the Hilton Garden Inn in Shelton, located at 25 Old Stratford Rd., right across the street from the Walgreen's. There will be free appetizers and drink specials!!

Do some Spring cleaning now. Take a look at your bookshelves and see if you have any books that would be appropriate for children and teens, grade levels K-12. We will be collecting books for Irving School in Derby.

These books will help fill the shelves of their new library and also be given as part of a prize to the Student of The Month!

YEP's lively after hour events make it easy for area young professionals (in their 20's & 30's) to build their professional and social network that both natives and transplants can instantly engage in.

Is it your time to emerge?

Are you new to a career and don't know where to turn? Do you want to grow your business, but don't know where to do it? Do you want to meet great new business contacts but don't know where to start? This is an ongoing problem for young professionals in today's market place. That is why the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce formed Young Emerging Professionals (YEP) for individuals in their 20's and 30's in the region.
