It's a Celebratory Night in the City of Lights!

The holidays are almost here, and it’s time to unwind and reconnect.

Join your fellow business and community members for a cozy, cheerful evening of conversation, laughter, and a little holiday magic. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, festive drinks, and an easygoing atmosphere that makes networking feel like catching up with old friends.

Let’s celebrate the close of a great year and toast to the possibilities of 2026 together!
