(Did you know the building was originally a garage with gasoline sales in front, later repurposed as the station for the Wake Forest Town Fire Department with the Wake Forest Rural Fire Department next door in the building where Sweetie’s is?)

The event will be hosted by Triangle Divorce Lawyers and will feature light refreshments.

The event is for chamber members only; no spouses or children. Because of COVID-19, you must RSVP in advance.
