We shared ideas and discussed exciting future plans, brainstorming ways to make a positive impact. The atmosphere was lively and collaborative, with plenty of great food to enjoy as we bonded over shared goals and aspirations. It was a fantastic start to what promises to be an inspiring journey together!
