Connect, learn, and grow with fellow business owners
We host different types of meetings throughout the year to serve various needs of our business community.
Three to four meetings each year are dedicated to planning our major events: Spring Beautification, Mendon Festival, and Holidays in the Hamlet. These are working sessions where we coordinate logistics, volunteers, and sponsorships.
We invite experts to share insights on topics relevant to small business owners—marketing, finance, legal considerations, technology, and more. Members also participate in topic-focused roundtable discussions where they share experiences, challenges, and solutions.
Open to all business owners! These informal gatherings are designed for anyone interested in connecting with the Mendon business community—no membership required.
Join us for our 2026 kick-off! Owners Franco Paulino and Rachel LaRocca will share their passion for their new eatery featuring einkorn sourdough.
