About the Event
For May’s Business After Hours, Home for All and Black Rock Social Club invite you to an evening that blends networking with play. Explore the space, try your hand at golf or racing simulators, axe throwing, or bowling, or simply connect with others in a setting designed to bring people together.

Enjoy brick oven pizza and libations as you mingle with fellow business and community leaders. Throughout the evening, there will be opportunities to engage in conversation about housing and how each of us, from businesses to residents, can play a role in expanding housing opportunities across the Seacoast.
