Touted as an informal yet focused networking opportunity, Contacts ‘N’ Coffee celebrated its one-year anniversary September 3. Showing off its vibrant membership, the group banded together for this shot after the rousing morning meeting.

Sixty members showed up for the Friday anniversary meeting which was catered by Michelle Maloney. The group originally started at Oreana Winery with 15 members and has now grown to more than 175.
