ABN After Hours at Painted Tree: A Night of Connection, Community & Creativity
On Thursday, March 26th, our Americas Business Networking (ABN) community came together for a special evening at Painted Tree Boutiques—and what a night it was.
Hosted by ABN participant Alex Sabonge, owner of J&J Flowers, the event was a true reflection of what Americas is all about: people working together.
From the moment guests arrived, Alex created an inviting and generous atmosphere. Attendees were welcomed with food and drinks, and throughout the night, there were over five raffle prizes, keeping the energy high and the community engaged.
But what made this After Hours truly unique was the interactive bingo activity. Guests were encouraged to explore the space, walk through the halls, and see other small businesses inside Painted Tree Boutique. It turned the evening into more than just networking—it became an experience of discovery, collaboration, and support for local entrepreneurs.
And of course, the night wouldn’t be complete without a little fun—karaoke brought everyone together, creating moments of laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories.
About Painted Tree Boutique
For those who haven’t visited, Painted Tree Boutique is a vibrant marketplace that brings together a wide variety of small, locally owned businesses under one roof. It’s a space where creativity meets entrepreneurship—offering everything from home décor and gifts to fashion and specialty items. Events like this allow our community to not only connect with each other, but also support the ecosystem of small businesses that make places like Painted Tree so special.
Why ABN After Hours Matters
ABN After Hours is an extension of what we do every week, but with a different rhythm.
We understand that not everyone can attend our morning networking meetings, and these evening events create an opportunity for more people to be part of the community. This night, in particular, was special because we saw familiar faces we hadn’t seen in a while, reconnecting and re-engaging with the network.
That’s the power of Americas, we create spaces for people to come back, plug in, and continue building relationships.
And the best part?
These events are completely free of charge.
Join Us for the Next One
We’re excited to keep the momentum going.
Our next ABN After Hours will take place on April 30th at 5:30pm, hosted by Dmitry at Hawaii Fluid Art. We invite you to join us, bring a friend, and continue growing with a community that is built on connection, collaboration, and support.
At Americas, we don’t just network—we build community.
Americas is people working together.
