"Meet, Greet, Eat" took place from 4 to 6 p.m. on March 14 in the Harbourside Ballroom at the Longboat Key Club. The club provided appetizers for the guests and Gold Coast Eagle Distributing provided drinks.
Kellie Spring of ServPro said that the set up this year for the “Meet, Greet, Eat” was different with all the businesses setting up tables inside this year. Longboat residents went around learning about different businesses and making connections. At each table, guests would receive a sticker after their conversation. People who received stickers from each table were entered to win one of the exclusive prizes picked by the Chamber.
Thirteen-year-old piano prodigy Timmy Phelan played while people mingled. He is self-taught and has been playing piano for the last three years. Phelan also has perfect pitch.
“This is such a perfect event to get more involved in the community,” said Longboater Nancy Richard. “You pretty much know everyone here, but also it is nice to get your name out there and learn how the businesses can be of service to you.”
