It’s a few months old as an organization, but the Santa Maria Young Professionals Networking Group (SMYPNG) is holding its official kickoff event on March 26.
The event will celebrate the group’s official beginning. The organization seeks to connect young professionals on the Central Coast with each other and with community leaders.
The event will be held at Cottonwood Canyon Winery, located at 3940 Dominion Road in Santa Maria, from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets cost $25, which includes a barbecue lunch, a glass of wine, a live and silent auction, a performance by La Faz, and a keynote address by Santa Maria Mayor Larry Lavagnino. Part of the proceeds will be donated to Jeremiah Danell, a young cancer patient.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call 406-8614.
