Coffee An' Networking at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites

Thank you members, Ambassadors, and prospects for attending our August Coffee An' Networking hosted by Holiday Inn Express and Suites.

We learned about everyone's wild side with the question of the morning, "So you've died. But you can come back resurrected as an animal. Which animal would it be?"

Thank you to our sponsors, Cloud Law Firm and Piper Fire Protection, and Advanced Video Systems for the photos.
