SUMMARY:GVL Connect - Oct 2026
DESCRIPTION:✨ Welcome to GVL Connect   Sip\, Learn\, + Connect! ✨\nThis isn't your typical networking event   it's about breaking bread\, breaking barriers\, and building real community.Each month in Greenville\, we gather as one community to shake hands\, learn from each other\, ask questions\, and grow authentic connections with other locals.And as our city continues to grow\, so does the importance of staying connected not just socially\, but civically.🌟 What to ExpectFirst of all   parking is free at Venture X\, with a large\, paved\, well-lit lot for easy access.After check-in\, grab a drink\, snack on charcuterie\, and start making meaningful connections. If you're an art lover (or a nervous introvert)\, feel free to wander and enjoy the local artwork displayed gallery-style throughout Venture X.Around 6:30\, our Nonprofit of the Month will share about their impact right here in our community.Then we transition into what makes GVL Connect unique: Joanna will lead a thought-provoking\, interactive discussion. In 2026\, our conversations are centered around a single American value one we often assume we all understand. But do we?Together\, we'll explore what that value really means  and how the same value can lead people to very different perspectives\, choices\, and outcomes.You'll be joined by a diverse mix of attendees including local residents\, business owners\, and civic leaders from across the Upstate all coming together to better understand one another. Because while we're exploring American values\, we're also uncovering something closer to home:👉 What are Greenville's values?\n👉 What makes this community so special?Afterward\, stick around to continue the conversation\, deepen connections\, sign up with the featured nonprofit\, and enjoy another plate before we wrap up around 8:00 PM.Event Organizer Joanna ReeseJoanna Reese initially launched the GVL Connect event series in 2016 after relocating her marketing agency to Greenville from her hometown of Hendersonville\, NC. Nearly a decade and a career change later\, Joanna is still a community connector\, promoting small businesses\, elevating nonprofits\, and advocating for others through her role in local government.
