SUMMARY:Florence: Coffee and Connection | River Roasters
DESCRIPTION:Need some time to devote to getting a project done for your business? Want others to be present to help hold you accountable? This is the time for that! Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale\, this is your opportunity to collaborate and grow in a supportive community. Let’s brew success together!\n\nWe’ve been having some great discussions and hashing out various concerns in this smaller group setting that can be a little more focused than larger events! If you need some other perspectives on something\, or you need to work on a particular “to-do” item\, come on down and join us!\n\nRSVP and if it makes sense\, drop your question in the discussion area\, or send an email. This will be helpful if research will need to be done ahead of time and to get a rough headcount to determine if space needs to be reserved. \n\nFor any questions or to schedule a 1:1 meeting about your business\, please reach out to your local Entrepreneur in Community\, Jade Rehder\, at jade@raincatalysts.org.
