Microbusiness networking in Colebrook

MicroCredit-NH and its local business group, LINKS, are sponsoring a networking event in Colebrook on Monday, January 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Colebrook Country Club, 15 Abenaki Lane.

Admission to the event, which includes light refreshments and door prizes, is $5. Registration is required; contact MicroCredit-NH Regional Manager Joyce Presby at 620-0745 or jpresby@microcreditnh.org.

MicroCredit-NH is holding this event to help local self-employed individuals and small business owners increase awareness of their businesses and make new contacts with MicroCredit-NH members and other business owners from the area. Attendees are welcome to bring business cards, brochures and/or samples to share.

“Networking is one of the most important aspects of successful business development,” said Presby. “It assists business owners in creating supportive business to business relationships that help to increase awareness and sales.”
