Why you should come : To meet new suppliers and networking with people, especially with me being new in the industry. It has been important to find out what’s working and what’s not. Great fellowship! Stella Crabb our guest speaker in 2024, was very inspiring with over 40yrs in Christian Retailing / Coffee shop . It is good to hear testimonies of what has happening through other shops. In our shop, one person recently came to the shop and now doing an Alpha course….PTL.
