She is my Caerusnet “best friend!” That’s what being in Caerusnet is all about, finding your best friend in networking.

On June 30th, well over 100 Caerusnet Members and guests attended the first annual Caerusnet Member Breakfast at the Crystal Gardens banquet center in Howell. Caerusnet spared no expense by offering the most deluxe breakfast buffet the Crystal Gardens offered. Devonna Snowden (Crystal Gardens / Brighton Wednesday 8AM) was busy promoting the event long before it kicked off and the turnout was fantastic.
