A new Ventnor Business Association is currently being formed and encouraging residents to Shop Small this holiday season.
VENTNOR - The newly reformed Ventnor Business Association will hold a Meet and Greet Happy Hour for local business owners 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 at Santucci's Original Square Pizza, 6413 Ventnor Ave.
The event is an opportunity to network with other business owners and discuss the next steps in building the association, according to an event page set up on Facebook.
According to organizer Brenda Dowd of Makt Arts, some business owners were unable to attend a breakfast meeting held Monday, Nov. 8 and an evening event could attract other business owners. Santucci's is sponsoring the event.
Those who attend are asked to bring a non-perishable item for the FoodBank of New Jersey Southern Branch.
We put together the Meet and Greet for next week to continue to build momentum for getting the VBA up and running, Dowd said, requesting existing members to invite other business owners.
The next step in forming a strong business association is to create a steering committee and decide on a first project, she said.
