Business After Hours:

The Liberty Chamber held its grand finale of BAH events for the year, at Liberty Advisors. JB Griffith, his wife Lisa and office manager Amy Hutcherson hosted a lovely reception on October 24th. Many guests, clients and business personnel gathered for the final chamber networking opportunity of the year. JB utilized the occasion to honor a Modern Woodman of America “Hometown Hero” Award to Tim Nelson. It was a pleasure to mix business with local notoriety. Congratulations Tim! BAH events will resume in 2018. If you are interested in having your business host a BAH event next year, please contact the Chamber at (336) 622-4937 or libertychambernc.com.
