Food and Drinks

This is a mini potluck networking event! While non alcohol beverages and snacks will be provided by the host, we encourage everyone to contribute and be hands-on in building this community by bringing a snack to share. Let’s connect, share, and grow together!

Bring your favorite snacks—whether they’re from your culture or just your go-to easy, bite-sized treats. Since we’ll be socializing, it’s best to bring something that doesn’t require sitting down to eat. Think along the lines of meat pies, Sushi , fruit trays, egg rolls, veggie trays, wings , samosas , Sushi , juices!

When we are all done sharing about our businesses

It’s an open floor to play some music as we socialize and talk with one another .
