Among others this includes our monthly Fruits with a Twist and our weekly Breakfast with a Twist events. Fruits with a Twist is a monthly social event for professionals and business owners to mix with other like-minded people. This social event has some formalities and an opportunity for business. However, Fruits with a Twist is also ideal for those who simply want to mix with other like-minded people, without a need for business. This event is "Socially focused with a business twist"​. Breakfast with a Twist is a more formalised opportunity for members to network and pass leads to each other. It is a structured meeting which includes education, goal setting, brainstorming, presenting and most importantly teaching members how to refer you business. Breakfast with a Twist is not a social event but more for business owners and professionals who want business from referrals. This event is "Business focused with a Social Twist"​.
