SPRINGFIELD Get in the networking spirit and join the Young Professional Society (YPS) for their Dec. 3. The talents and insights of emerging young professionals in the Greater Springfield Area will come together on Dec. 20, from 5 - 7 p.m., at the new Maximum Capacity Sports Bar location on 116 School Street in downtown Chicopee. The new and improved modern facility boasts four new pool tables and tons of space for area professionals to mix and mingle.

YPS is asking that everyone brings a donation for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation for entrance into the event. Please check out their Web site www.ToysForTots.org for more information and to find out more about what you can do to help. Monetary donations will also be accepted and greatly appreciated.

YPS was launched by young professionals in the corporate, non-profit, cultural, and public arenas in order to initiate a dialogue on how young area professionals can get more involved in the community in which they live and work. YPS has already received great support from area organizations, businesses, and young professionals.

"Third Thursday" events, having continually boasted over 175 attendees are quickly transforming themselves into the premier networking and social events in the Pioneer Valley. YPS welcomes all young professionals interested in participating in this regional effort, to join them in realizing their goal of fostering lasting professional and personal connections between people of diverse backgrounds, while also helping to contribute to the community.

Bring friends, business cards, and an outgoing attitude. Food, music and a cash bar will be provided courtesy of Maximum Capacity Sports Bar. There will also be a drawing for some cool raffle prizes too.
