"OFF THE CLOCK" NETWORKING HAPPY HOUR HOSTED BY

ON ST. ELMO

Thank you to EVERYONE who attended last night's Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce "Off the Clock" Networking Happy Hour, hosted by On St. Elmo! The rain couldn't keep GBCC down - our crowd was just under 100 strong once again! We loved seeing the crowd connecting with fellow and future members, deepening friendships, and building that "know, like and trust" that we know leads to "better business, stronger community." A huge thanks to our hosts, On St. Elmo for welcoming us into their gorgeous space, providing us with delicious and healthy food, and crafting cocktails for the crowd that were truly works of art!
