3rd Local Business Networking Event

 The Brotherhood of Temple Sha’arey Shalom and the Springfield Patriot Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsoring a third local business networking event featuring a wine and cheese reception on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, from 6:00pm- 8:00pm in the Social Hall of the Temple, 78 South Springfield Avenue, Springfield.  

This evening of business networking was created to offer local merchants and professionals a chance to share and promote new business opportunities, build contacts and create and develop new business relationships and resources. 

Temple Brotherhood Event Chair Mark Hurwitz adds, “Our last two events were very successful.  Everyone is trying to make new business connections, especially in this economy.  We think it’s important to begin locally, within our own congregation and our town businesses.  We are delighted to be hosting this event again with the Springfield Patriot Chamber of Commerce and we invite the community to come out and network with us.”   The event is free for Temple Brotherhood members, Temple members and Springfield Patriot Chamber of Commerce members.  The cost is $10 for non-members.  For Chamber of Commerce Members, there is no charge for the first two representatives and $10 for each additional participant.    For further information, please contact Mark Hurwitz at (973) 727-0410.
