I am excited to report that 13Pro has enjoyed a very successful month.  We continue to grow and add new members, as well as provide opportunities for young professionals in the region to connect and network.

Our Wine Trail event was a huge success. We had two full busses that went to Rustle Hill Winery and Starview Winery. We capped off the evening with a great meal at the Giant City Lodge. Overall, we had a great time and were fortunate to bring on several new members.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to 13 Pro, Southern Illinois’ premier networking organization for young professionals. We have come a long way since 13Pro’s inception only months ago and are looking forward to expanding our membership and opportunities for our members.

Since our formation, 13Pro has provided its members (and prospective members) with several fun networking and professional development opportunities, including drinks and hors d'oeuvres at Kindling Wine and Spirits, a Southern Illinois Miners Game at Rent One Park, a karaoke night at SI Bowl, a tailgate at SIUC’s Homecoming Game, and an Evening of Business and Technology at 17th Street Bar and Grill.
