Wonderful way to kick off the New Year and great to see so many new faces joining the group of around 30 Vets and supporters. Looking forward to more successful events in 2018!
Oct & Nov 2017 As evidenced by the logo, we failed to take a photo for Oct or Nov but had some good events even without documentation. We got a good crowd down at the River Pig Saloon in Oct despite a bit too much noise and Josh's car being broken into, good connections were still made! Nov saw a bit of a more intimate event, we were all able to squeeze into a single table, but got to enjoy the special Veteran's Day beer on tap with several new faces. Thanks to all for coming out, more to follow in 2018!	September Networking Event Huge thanks to Qorvo for sponsoring a wonderful event at McMenamin's Cornelius Pass Roadhouse. Not only did we have some new faces, but we were also able to learn about and make great connections with a wonderful Portland company.
Aug 2017 Networking Event Wonderful night outside at Base Camp Brewing, appreciate everyone coming out despite the heat. Met quite a few new faces and saw some great connections being made. Editors Note: Apologies for the creepy photo from the bushes, forgot to take one until I was leaving...	2017 July Networking Event Excellent crowd and Nike contingent just a few miles from the Beaverton campus. Saw a lot of new faces, including a few Vets brand new to the PDX area. Great way to start off the back half of 2017.
