December Coffee Hour

In this special Holiday Coffee Hour, join us at Otono for a casual networking opportunity where you can enjoy a great cup of coffee, even better conversation, and have the chance to find perfect, sustainable gifts for your family and friends.

The Local First Coffee Hour events are a casual opportunity to connect with local businesses in West Michigan. During the months of April, July, September, and December these events will be held in partnership with GROW. This CDFI microlender offers loans, counseling and educational opportunities, and a variety of other resources to entrepreneurs in West Michigan. Join us to connect, sip on a morning beverage, and learn more about how we’re GROWing a People First Economy.

Local First's monthly Coffee Hour series is powered by Bloom Credit Union.

Host highlight: Otono builds community, creates local change, and shares joy by selling a curated collection of uniquely designed clothing, accessories, and home goods. Participants of Coffee Hour will be able to shop their collection during and immediately following the event. We encourage you to find that perfect, sustainable gift for your family and friends.

Safety expectations: We’d like to continue meeting monthly in-person for our Coffee Hour events. To safely do so, event attendees are expected to adhere to current CDC recommendations:

• When indoors, masks remain on unless actively eating or drinking
• Maintaining 6 feet of social distance between guests and/or respecting the color-coded comfort zone stickers provided to all guests by PFE
• Adhering to frequent hand-washing and sanitizing practices

Local First will also provide hand sanitizer.

We hope you'll join us for good coffee and good conversation!
