Working Together in Our Community

We've now passed our 3 year birthday as an organization, and as we continue to grow, we're always looking to make new friends.

That's why tomorrow, you'll find us reaching out to the Mission Valley Sunset Rotary Club at their Wednesday mixer at the Randy Jones All American Grill in Hazard Center. We expect to see quite a few of our YNPN members, and are excited to see how our organizations' membership crosses over. We'd love to see you there!

Established just summer (2010, already!), the Mission Valley Sunset Rotary Club is a service-oriented organization whose membership is closely aligned with our own. In fact, you may even see some familiar faces in their ranks!

Here are the details:
Location: Randy Jones All American Sports Grill, 7510 Hazard Center Drive, Suite #215, San Diego, CA 92108
Time: Starts at 5:30pm
Event information: The suggested $10 donation gets you appetizers and drink specials.

So come on out and drop by for a beverage and some conversation before the Pads play the Diamondbacks. It's a great way to beat downtown traffic!

Cosmos and Causes, Wednesday, July 20

It's about that time for another great YNPN Meet & Greet event, especially given the perfect weather we've had lately! What better venue could we ask for than a gathering at the Cosmopolitan in Old Town tomorrow, Wednesday (July 20) to get together with old friends, and to make new ones. With over 75 attendees confirmed, this classically restored hotel can host many more, so we hope you can join us between 6 and 8 pm. Our theme, Cosmos and Causes, is sure to delight, if for nothing else than because it is a great combination!

With $5 food and drink specials, we'll also be raffling off a VAVi Sport & Social certificate, just to make sure you really enjoy your summer. So while the sun's still shining till 8, don't just go home after work. Come and join us at the Cosmopolitan--you'll be glad you did!

RSVP for Wednesday's Cosmos and Causes event here.
