The Rochester Business Alliance held a Business After Hours event on July 15 at the brand new Water's Edge at Pier 45, at the Port of Rochester in Charlotte.

The warmth of the evening kept everyone in high spirits and laughing. People started to arrive around 5 p.m., and stayed well beyond the event's 7 p.m. ending time. More than 200 people attended the networking event, sharing information about their businesses, making new connections, and catching up with old friends.

The Rochester Business Alliance also held a raffle for two roundtrip tickets on Air Tran Airways. The winner of the drawing was Ann Michael Henry, president of Mise En Place in Victor.

The next Business After Hours will be Aug. 6 at the Airport Marriott in Greece. Click here for more information and registration.
