The Farmington Chamber of Commerce Business to Business Expo is Friday, April 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Farmington Civic Center.

Kiwanis has a table to be staffed by Kiwanis volunteers to connect with local business leaders and share the meaningful work we do in our community, including our many projects that support children. This is a fun, no pressure event.

A Coffee Social will take place prior to the Expo—an excellent opportunity to network before the event begins.

We need 2 more volunteers to help represent Kiwanis and share our story. Thank you to Chris, Cody, and Jill for already stepping up!

Send an email to jmcq2@yahoo.com if you can help for a few hours.
