2. Are you looking to mingle with other business people in the neighborhood? One of your would-be cohorts is organizing a networking event for this Thursday morning. Get and get in touch with him to participate. 

3. This Friday is Veterans Day and I'm guessing that's one reason why is bringing afternoon. Seats are limited for this event, so if you're interested, you've got to RSVP.
