Greetings!
I cannot believe that we’re almost halfway through the year, but I look forward to seeing what the second half has in store for Young Professionals Napa Valley. Thank you to those who joined us for our May mixer at Marriott Hotel’s South Yard. I was so pleased to see a number of familiar faces but also a fair amount of newcomers. It’s really fun and incredibly fulfilling to see eager, motivated young professionals coming together to socialize, network, and support one another. We encourage you to sign up as a member if you haven’t already in order to take advantage of unique perks, like first access to limited ticket events, discounts, and more! We’ve got a lot in store for June, so I encourage you to read on and see what we have planned.
Cheers,
Makenzie Payne
