The first event of the day is happening at Sal e Pepe Contemporary Italian Bistro, 97 South Main Street, from 8 to 9 am. The guest speaker is Chad Joshpe of 5 Tool Financial.

Mr Joshpe’s presentation is titled “A Sensible Approach to Creating a Legacy through Charitable Giving,” and it will include a step-by-step technique of creating a fiscally responsible approach toward supporting respectable, nonprofit charities.

Light refreshments will be served.

Breakfast networking sessions are sponsored by the Newtown Chamber of Commerce and happen on the second Wednesday of each month. Anyone interested in guest speaking can contact Tricia Farin at 203-426-9193.
