A big thank you to our host, Pickle Barrel, for welcoming us into their incredible London Knights room. Given the cold weather and many people still on holiday, we weren't sure how many would attend, but we ended up with a record turnout! We also want to thank everyone who has contributed to the Fire Recovery Fund so far. Every donation, no matter the amount, is really appreciated.  Every little bit counts and makes a difference in supporting both Sha Choix and A Village Tail as they recover. We’re excited for our first Business Mixer of the year at the Highland Country Club February 13th 4:30pm-6pm with a complimentary first drink and hors d’oeuvres. We hope to see you there! Wishing you all the best in 2025, and as always, let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.
