Guest Comments:

I very much enjoyed the SCLP Networking Mixer. The hospitality was great – the venue was nice – the food was plentiful and very tasty. I met and exchanged contact information with some enthusiastic and interesting people and listened to a knowledgeable and engaging speaker. A bonus of the event for me was winning the wine draw – you’ll be glad to know that my bottle made it safely home to Prince George, B.C., Canada. Thanks, Mark and team!
