Join us for our National Day of Empowerment, where we’ll dive into the three pillars of building wealth:

💰 Insurance (life insurance vs. 401(k))
🚀 Entrepreneurship (franchising & ownership)
🏡 Real Estate (multifamily investing)

Our very own MetroBoard Alum, Joshua Mercer, will lead an empowering, insight-packed conversation designed to set you up for success in 2026 and beyond.

Let’s clean out our closets and socialize with a purpose! As a part of our Closets to Community Winter Items Drive we are having a pull up and donate social gathering.

After work, join us at Norman’s Bistro for drinks, food, or just good vibes to drop off new or gently used clothes, coats, sweaters, hats, gloves, blankets, hygiene items and other winter essentials.

Your contributions will go directly to those who need them most. Feel free to grab items from friends and family to bring as well!

Please bring items in a sturdy bag for transportation. We are looking for items from men, women, and children of all sizes.

Items brought will be collected at the door to be donated at a later time.
