Building Bridges Over Lunch: Fountain Inn’s “1886 Connectors” Open Call for New Members

In a move to strengthen the local business ecosystem, the “1886 Connectors” chapter of Liberty Networking has announced an open invitation for Upstate professionals looking to expand their referral networks. The group, which emphasizes a relationship-first approach to business, will hold its next meeting this Thursday at a local favorite in Fountain Inn.

The organization operates under a unique mindset that referral partners are like family, focusing on long-term trust rather than high-pressure sales tactics.

Networking with a Local Flavor

The upcoming meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at Hail Mary Sports Grille. The event is designed to be as productive as it is social; attendees are encouraged to grab lunch, exchange business cards, and stay for coffee after the formal meeting to continue one-on-one conversations.

“We focus on building relationships and passing along referrals that help each other’s business thrive,” says local organizer Wilson Beaver. The group’s goal is to create a robust network where members act as extended sales teams for one another throughout the Golden Strip.

Targeting Key Industries

While the group welcomes a wide variety of professionals, the “1886 Connectors” have identified several key industries they are looking to integrate into their referral circle. These include:

• Legal & Financial: Attorneys and Accountants

• Health & Wellness: Chiropractors

• Trade Services: Contractors, Electricians, and Fencing Professionals

By filling these specific roles, the chapter aims to provide a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” of trusted professionals that members can confidently recommend to their own clients and neighbors.

How to Join

Fountain Inn professionals interested in attending are asked to RSVP prior to the meeting. The group’s collaborative atmosphere is tailored for those who prefer building deep, referral-based connections over traditional cold-calling methods.
