A Message from Susan Ascher…

Hello clients, sponsors, friends, colleagues and anyone whose life I have touched over the years!

My heart goes out to the thousands of victims, families and employees who have been affected by this virus. The health and safety of my clients is my utmost priority. Like everyone, I am closely monitoring the CDC’s recommendations and ”going virtual” to support social distancing.

As the spread of COVID-19 continues to impact how we live and work, I want you to know that I am here to support you and your business during these challenging times. This unique public health crisis is creating uncertainty and anxiety everywhere, and I have adapted my business model as needed to continue to support my clients and our suppliers during these challenging times. I am here and available to help with any immediate needs, and to reschedule your appointments if required, either via telephone or zoom.

Finally, Culinary Connections with Kerry Barrett has been canceled for Thursday April 23rd, and we are hopeful that we can reschedule this wonderful event for Thursday, June 18th , so let’s SAVE THE DATE AND KEEP THE FAITH!

As a small business, I am grateful for your continued support as we navigate the new normal together.

Thank you for being an Ascher Group client, sponsor, friend, and colleague! Can’t wait until we see one another again!

Sincerely,

Susan

President and CEO

Here’s What People Are Saying:

“Thank you for having me last Wednesday! I really enjoyed the culinary portion of the event as well as the networking.”
– Richard Sodeke, Media Sales Associate at Felix

“What a lovely evening last night.  I loved that we were standing in the kitchen  watching the handsome chef with his adorable French accent, cooking delicious food that we could eat immediately.  How often does one get that opportunity to see behind the scenes, other than on television where it sometimes seems scripted?  The event was beautiful, the location  was stunning, and the camaraderie in the room – priceless!”
– Eileen Berman, eileenbergman.com

“Great event last night, truly.  Thank you! When I hit the road and sat in the driving rain and traffic coming from Newark, I thought about how nice it would be to go home! Boy am I glad that I made the commitment to you (and to me) to come because I would have missed a wonderful time meeting great folks.”
– Lori Chapin, Attorney, Sedgwick, LLP

“Thank you for a great event! I adored your friends and clients.”
– Denise Gaffney, Area Development Manager, Etcetera; Regional VP, National Association of Professional Women

“The Restaurant Serenade installment of Culinary Connections was excellent – great food and wine as well as great new faces to share it with. I look forward to the next Culinary Connections event in April and joining the Course Connections group in the spring.”
– Marty Eide, Attorney, Markel Corporation
