Speaking of Who's Who, this is a "must" attend event if you are big on getting your networking game on with everybody who's anybody in St. Louis. I did attend this event back in the day when the book was first published, I was featured in the 2nd Edition in 2005. I tell you, it was such a positive experience being surrounded by so many accomplished African Americans. It's sort of like attending the St. Louis American's "Salute" events!
Urbanistas Annual Holiday Fete
Thursday, December 17th
7:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
private affair/invite only
In between remodeling my home and hosting Thanksgiving, needless to say, I didn't get around to planning the Urbanistas Holiday Fete. I attempted to kick things off before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season began, but I got caught up! Anyhoo, the Urbanistas will be hosting our first holiday fete at one of St. Louis' newest, hottest restaurants downtown, which will also include a few special guests that have supported Urbanistas throughout the year.
