A Grateful Gathering

A Grateful Gathering: Business Break at St. Joseph’s College

The Sebago Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce had the distinct pleasure of hosting a memorable Business Break on Wednesday, October 16th at the picturesque St. Joseph’s College in Xavier Hall. This event was a remarkable opportunity for local businesses to connect, share, and grow, and we owe this success to the incredible hospitality of St. Joseph’s College.

A Heartfelt Thanks to St. Joseph’s College

We cannot express enough gratitude to St. Joseph’s College for opening their doors and providing us the networking community with such a welcoming space. The campus, with its serene and inspiring environment, set the perfect backdrop for the gathering. Xavier Hall, with its elegant architecture, offered a warm and inviting atmosphere that encouraged meaningful conversations and networking among attendees.

Having the support of an esteemed institution like St. Joseph’s College truly elevates our mission to foster community and business relationships. Their generosity and commitment to the local business community are invaluable, and we are deeply thankful for their partnership.

Culinary Delights and Refreshing Libations

A highlight of the evening was certainly the exquisite array of food and drink provided by the college’s talented culinary team. Guests were treated to a selection of delicious hors d’oeuvres that catered to a variety of tastes and preferences. From savory bites to sweet treats, each dish was crafted with care and creativity, showcasing the culinary expertise that St. Joseph’s is known for.

The evening was complemented by a well-curated bar, offering a range of beverages that delighted our guests. The selection of wines, local craft beers, and refreshing non-alcoholic options ensured that there was something for everyone to enjoy. The attentive service provided by the staff added to the overall experience, making sure that everyone felt well-cared for throughout the night.

Building Connections and Community

This Business Break was more than just an event; it was a celebration of community and collaboration. The evening was filled with engaging conversations, new connections, and the sharing of ideas. It is through events like these that we continue to strengthen the bonds between our local businesses and the wider community.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event a success. A special thank you once again to St. Joseph’s College for their exceptional hospitality and support. We look forward to many more collaborative events in the future, as we continue to grow and thrive together.

Thank you, St. Joseph’s College, for helping us create an unforgettable evening!
