This month, Pioneer Valley Local First will be having its monthly business networking event called "Local Thirst" at 80 Jarvis restaurant in Holyoke Massachusetts.

Join us after work and un-wind over food and drink with owners of local, independent businesses and other good folk.

The event will be Thursday June 21st from 5:00 to 7pm, so treat yourself to the great food, full bar and local beer that 80 Jarvis has on their locally inspired menu. Their address, as the name implies, is 80 Jarvis Avenue.

Every menu selection is created from scratch with locally grown ingredients including vegetables and cheeses. Additionally, their menu changes to reflect the availability of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Also, from 5 to 7pm all apps at the bar are half-price.

While it's not necessary, it would be wonderful to have you RSVP for the event. Please feel free to forward this invite onto others and to bring any friends and colleagues.

The idea of our monthly Local Thirst event are to bring together people concerned about our area's sense of community and economy and the PV Local First membership so we can all begin to better know and work with each other. Hopefully, by all of us being better connected can have the added benefit of having more business take place among your businesses.

See you Thursday June 21st!!

Quench your thirst, locally!
