On November 17, 2011, bar One hosted our networking soiree. We had over twenty attendees! We thank Peter Thomas and his staff for the delicious food, delightful beverages and wonderful service they gave us. The soiree was a huge success!
Join is for SEABA’s annual meeting at Milltown Arms Tavern on December 15, 2011 from 5:30 until 7:15. We will briefly discuss activities and plans for 2012 and enjoy the spirits of the season. As per usual, the Milltown Arms folks will treat us with some complimentary appetizers. We will pay our own tabs for other foods and beverages. We invite each member and guest to join us in the Toys for Tots campaign by donating a new, unwrapped toy. Receptacles will be available at Milltown. All are invited to join us! Bring your business cards! This is where deals get started!
