Yesterday\u2019s GABA & GISSV Sommerfest in Belmont brought our communities together for a wonderful afternoon of summer fun, great conversations, and new connections.

In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, guests enjoyed good food, drinks, games, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with familiar faces and make new connections. A big thank you to GISSV<\/strong> <\/a>for the wonderful partnership and to everyone who joined us and made the Sommerfest such a fun and memorable event!<\/p>\n
