Young Professional Network Takes Off

The Wenatchee Business Journal did a fine write up about our inaugural Young Professionals Network event. While I personally prefer to NOT be quoted in the paper, I think the article nicely reflects the event and what we hope it will become.

Check out the write-up here.

Also, if you have any pictures, we’ll be sure to post them!

Also, thank you to Lee at the WBJ for attending and writing up the news; thank you to the Olive Garden for hosting the event, and thank you to Martin-Scott Winery for providing the wine, especially the brand-new ’08 Ravens Ridge Red!
