GGCC Young Professionals Group to Celebrate Two-Year’s

On Wednesday, May 7, the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce (GGCC) will celebrate the two-year anniversary of its Young Professionals Group (YPG). The Chamber’s YPG is packed with lots of enthusiasm and high aspirations from happy hours, to lunch and learns to committee meetings. The mission of the group is to make the Gaithersburg-Germantown communities and surrounding areas a great place to live and work by harnessing the strength of our communities to make positive change.

The YPG’s started on May 2, 2012 and plan to celebrate their “Two-Year Anniversary” on May 7 with a BBQ picnic, fun activities and a corn-hole tournament at Smokey Glen Farm, 16407 Riffle Ford Road in Gaithersburg. The picnic will run from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

“All of the GGCC Young Professional events are full of excitement and networking.  This one will be even better.  We are so excited to be celebrating 2 years and would like everyone to join us in this celebration with an evening of food, drinks, networking and fun games”, said Brittany Hilton, GGCC YPG Chair & Senior Marketing Associate for Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union.

The YPG Title Sponsor is Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union (MAFCU). This event is sponsored by MAFCU & Bargain Movers.
