Pizza-themed networking and appetizers from Toni’s

Neighborhood Networking visited Clover Sports & Leisure in River West last night. We had a nice group of regulars and new faces—not to mention a popular pizza-themed progressive networking session, inspired by nearby restaurant Toni’s Pizza & Organic Pasta who provided food for the event. (thanks to Lulu for coming up with the idea!)

Thank you

The UNICEF Tap Project

The UNICEF Tap Project was born in New York City based on a simple concept: restaurants would ask their patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free, and all funds raised would support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean and accessible water to millions of children around the world.

Make sure to stop by their table and learn more about their businesses!
