November Lunch & Learn

Join us for our annual November gathering—reimagined as 'Together We Thrive', a celebration of the community connections, resilience, and support that help us grow and succeed together.

As we reflect on the past year, we’ll highlight how collaboration and gratitude empower us to thrive—not just as individual businesses, but as a vibrant local network.

This year’s event includes an interactive experience, a community giving project, and meaningful moments of connection with fellow members.

Members are encouraged to bring an item to donate to Flat River Outreach Ministries (FROM), a local nonprofit that supports neighbors year-round through healthy food, housing, and connection to essential services, and is the home of Treasures Thrift Store. During the holidays, their Christmas Distribution program helps families celebrate by providing new, popular gifts for their children and all the ingredients to cook a holiday meal together at home.

FROM is requesting Christmas gifts suitable for teenagers.
