Ramsey JSWT Members:

Listed below are next week's upcoming networking events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try going to one or two meetings a week; what you learn there will most definitely help shorten your time in transition.

If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting, please let me know by next Friday and I will add it to the weekly update list.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving,

Tom Donohue
