Connections Old & New at Girlfriend's Taphouse

So FUN!

Last night’s networking meetup at Girlfriend’s Taphouse in Stafford was a perfect reminder of why we continue to gather month after month — it’s about people.

We welcomed several new faces into the room, and there’s always something special about those first introductions. Over food and drinks, conversations flowed naturally, It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t transactional. It was genuine. People asked questions. They listened. They shared challenges and wins. They offered encouragement and referrals.

And while we were building relationships, we were also intentionally supporting a local business. Choosing to gather at Girlfriend’s Taphouse means we’re not only growing our own businesses — we’re investing back into our community. That’s how strong local networks are built.

These nights aren’t just about handing out business cards. They’re about:

• Strengthening trust

• Discovering collaboration opportunities

• Learning how we can truly help one another

• Creating partnerships that extend beyond the event

Every meetup adds another layer to the foundation we’re building together.

To everyone who came out — whether it was your first time or your fifteenth — thank you. Your presence matters. Your business matters. And the willingness to show up, engage, and support one another is what makes this group different.

If you haven’t joined us yet, we’d love to see you at the next one. There’s always room at the table.
