The 2021 Shop Local Raleigh and Greater Raleigh Merchants Association Annual Meeting was certainly different this year and although we couldn’t gather in person, together virtually we were able to reflect back on the last year. We are happy to report that our focus remained the same, our community. Supporting local businesses and finding ways to make events happen and keeping you connected.
