Businesses celebrate growth at Circle Association meeting

The Lynch sisters, Chris and Ethna, hosted the Circle Association members for today’s monthly morning meeting at Lynches Pub and Grub. It was a large turnout (thanks in part to the quiche and breakfast treats), and many members had updates and news to share:
