Thanks to all who attended the SUMMER RollCall
The 2nd Annual SUMMER HVCRC was a HIGHlight of the Season!
We are so thankful to all of our sponsors and attendees who made the Summer 2023 RollCall such a success!
We celebrated having come full circle to our 2nd Summer RollCall up and down the Hudson Valley cannabis supply chain. After a brief welcome from HVCRC hosts Melissa Gibson and Tamika Dunkley, we took "RollCall" to find out which guests were new, who has attended multiple RollCalls and even presented a special gift to RollCall regulars who haven't missed one yet (that's 5 events so far). Congratulations Ed Bergstraesser and Kate Thies (Colin Decker gets an honorable mention as he was scheduled to attend, but his flight home from a business trip was canceled) for your perfect attendance record!
Of course one of the best parts of the night was getting to dig into the mouth-watering Caribbean buffet that Seasoned Delicious prepared for us. Yum! Guests spread out between the main event room, the gorgeous international bar and the chill outdoor space to mix and mingle, share industry pains and gain, and most of all -- build relationships that foster collaboration and community. The night included the usual raffle with prizes donated by our sponsors and hosts, opportunities to connect the supply chain and plenty of communing with friends, new and old.
e will see you at the next RollCall on Wednesday, October 25th!
