While business networking and enjoying delicious hors d’oeuvres, everyone was given a chance to make new connections, meet old acquaintances and enjoy some fruitful conversations.

Particularly delicious were the lavender macaroons and the lemon tarts…

It was nice to see some VIP’s, like Deputy Mayor Pete Fry.
