A perfect winter's evening: pizza and beer, and fellowship with a good cause

[February 26, 2014]  The Young Professionals Network hosted a beer-tasting and pizza buffet Monday evening. The event was in downtown Lincoln at Guzzardo's Restaurant as a fundraiser.

Two microbreweries from Springfield were present to offer their best thirst-quenchers for washing down great Guzzardo's pizza. The YPN members were selling different selections that rounded out the samplings. Guests moved from station to station filling out their ballot cards and rating each of their choices. Ballots were then submitted, and from those, someone was a lucky winner of the prize drawing.

Donations from the event would be used to support the Young Professionals' mission of connecting with one another, building strong relationships, growing together and developing ties to the community through volunteer service and other community events.

The Young Professionals Network, launched in November 2012, is a division of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce. YPN reflects the vision of the chamber to be the advocate for business in the area. It provides opportunities to enhance the business environment for the benefit of chamber members, and Lincoln and Logan County.
