  Desayuno Con Amigos
 

Desayuno Con Amigos is a monthly networking event conducted solely in Spanish. It is held monthly at various restaurants of LCC members. The purpose of Desayuno Con Amigos is to gather owners of small Hispanic businesses, and educate them on such subjects as service, marketing, finances, and so forth. Desayuno Con Amigos provides an outstanding way for businesses to market directly to the Spanish-speaking community. The food, we might add, is always delicious.
