It's time for our rescheduled July networking event. No smoke tomorrow to affect our lungs, so we can enjoy Olcott Lobster's atmosphere (literally as well as physically). That's what you get when the president of ABWA is also an English teacher. Come meet her and some other awesome members. Info is at the end of the post and in the image.

💜 Due to today's hazardous air quality in Lewiston, our ABWA Business Networking Night & Touchstone Crystal Fundraiser has been RESCHEDULED.

As many of you know, smoke from the Canadian wildfires has created dangerously unhealthy air quality across our region. For the health and safety of our members, guests, vendors, and our host location, we have made the decision to postpone tonight's event. Olcott Lobster Co. has also closed for the day due to the air quality conditions.

📅 New Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2026
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Olcott Lobster Co. – Lewiston Location

We were looking forward to an evening of networking, beautiful Touchstone Crystal jewelry, and supporting the ABWA Scholarship Fund, but everyone's safety comes first.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We hope you'll join us on Tuesday, July 28th for a wonderful evening of networking, shopping with purpose, and making a difference.

💜 Please help us spread the word by sharing this post so everyone who planned to attend sees the new date.
