JULY 15

Hello!

Tomorrow is LobsterFest and we are expecting that a great party will be had by all! It is also a great opportunity to benefit from the motivation that our members and friends have to connect with each other... as well as to experience the generosity of organizations and individuals who help us make the event a valuable investment.

Following LobsterFest, we will announce the winners of our first social media scholarship, and focus on programming for the second half of this year.

Please take advantage of the opportunities within this newsletter and on our new website - we are seeing the impact of the opportunities shared and connections made among this growing commerce community.

Look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow night! Camela Morrissey

PS: Happy Anniversary #2 to 1881 Kitchen! Keep Going Strong!!
