The Sandfly Women Business Owners Coalition will hold the next meeting on Thursday, August 20 at the Great Harvest Bread Company. The networking event is scheduled for 8 a.m. at the Sandfly bakery. During the meeting, the group plans on creating 50 goodie bags for the teachers at the new Isle of Hope school, comprised of items from Sandfly businesses.

Organized by Dr. Angela Canfield of Sandfly Family Dental, the coalition meets quarterly for the common purpose of promoting business growth and support in the Sandfly community.

“These casual gatherings have become a great tool for women business owners to share information, brainstorm solutions to mutual problems and provide support to one another,” said Dr. Angela Canfield. “We now have about 30 women attending the quarterly networking event and welcome any female business owners to join us.”

The group intentionally keeps the meetings in the Sandfly area. Previous meetings have been held at Driftaway Café, Cutters Point Coffee and Fioré Italian Bar & Grille.

The event is open to any female business owner in the Sandfly, Isle of Hope, Dutch Island, Landings or Southside area. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Cynthia Wright at [email protected] by Tuesday, August 18.
