Welcome New Member N2 Publishing
Join us as welcome new member
N2 Publishing.
Their mission is to turn neighborhoods into communities by connecting people.
N2 Publishing creates customized, high-quality publications for members of exclusive communities so that, through resident-submitted stories and photos, they can learn about their neighbors. The results are highly anticipated monthly publications that echo the distinct voice of the neighborhood and reflect the community itself.
N2 Publishing has about 1,000 publications across the country and around 16 in the RI/MA area.
In our community, N2 Publishing's Danielle Harbour works with the residents in The Cliffs in North Attleboro to produce a neighborhood newsletter that is all about them, their families, kids, pets, and neighborhood athletes. She also looks for businesses that would like to partner with the newsletter publication through advertising and social media remarketing. Then, she connects the residents to each other and to the businesses through monthly social events.
N2 Publishing is a great addition to our community. We are looking forward to seeing Danielle at our events. Contact
Danielle
if you are interested in advertising in her publication. Wouldn't you like your business to be featured in a publication received by the residents of The Cliffs?

Our ad will be running in the March issue of The Cliffs Living.

Our YPO's Valentine's Event at Hilliards Chocolates Was a Success
Our Young Professionals Organization held a Valentine's event at Hilliards Chocolates at 333 School Street in Mansfield last Wednesday.
Hilliards displayed a wide variety of Valentine goodies in what they call "the season of love!" With chocolate samples from Hilliards and wine samples from La Cantina Winery, it was certainly a stand out event for the more than 40 people who joined us. We are giving a shout out to Store Manager Brittney Kenyon who facilitated the event and assured that everything ran smoothly.
While we were there, several of us did our Valentine's Day shopping. Checked off that box! Easy peasy!

Special Seminar: Networking Secrets for Success
URCC Office
310 South Street
Plainville
Thursday, February 20
8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m
.
We are pleased to announce that Expert Networker and Chamber member Rob Peters of
Rob Peters Entertainment
will be facilitating his Networking Secrets for Success seminar just for us at the Chamber office in Plainville.
So many of us are out there networking at least a couple of nights each week. But it couldn't hurt to get some tips from a professional networker.
In his seminar, Rob will discuss why we network and how we go about choosing a networking event. He will help us with what we should prepare to attend and tell us what we should bring to the event.
Also, he will give us valuable advice on starting the conversation and so importantly what we should and should NOT talk about.
We know we are excited about the session and hope that you will be, too.
