Good Things: South Berwick Networking
South Berwick resident Tony Lemmo had an idea that it would be good for local entrepreneurs and business owners to have a way to meet each other. A year ago, as entrepreneurs are likely to do, he decided to just make it happen. So for the last year he has been hosting monthly networking meetings at various local businesses where entrepreneurs and business owners have come together to socialize, enjoy refreshments, and make the kind of connections that can be invaluable for growing a business.
On Tuesday, June 24 South Berwick Networking celebrated its one year anniversary with a gathering hosted by the Links at Outlook Golf Course. In the beautiful setting of the Red Barn a crowd enjoyed great food and drink, prize raffles, learning about local businesses, and getting to know other local business people.
Tony Lemmo says he had no idea what would happen when he hosted the first meeting a year ago in the Ocean National Bank parking lot. He has been pleased with the turnout for meetings with more people being added to the list each month. He encourages local business people who would like to be added to the South Berwick Networking email list to contact him at lemmo@verizon.net

For a small business owner like me this kind of group is really helpful. I enjoyed meeting great people and the setting at the Red Barn was just beautiful. Kudos and thanks to Tony for making this happen.

Thank you Tony for organizing a group in our town. It has been wonderful to connect with local business owners for support and referrals. The one year celebration was wonderful last night! I look forward to the next SBN meeting.

I heard the evening was wonderful. I hope next meeting I won’t be teaching!
