1st & 3rd Fridays
Networking session
The Lawson Business Network Group meets at 9:00 am at the Mill House, the first and third Friday of every month. Own a business in Lawson? Come meet the group.
Business directory
Find someone nearby.
Local businesses, services and expertise from your neighbors, in five territories.
What sits in each of the five territories
Every member applied, and the Lawson Business Network Group reviewed them before they appeared here.
Examples of the kind of businesses joining
These are not real listings. They show the kind of neighbors the directory is for.
Not sure who you need? Tell the Friendly Neighbor what you're trying to get done.
This directory is a neighbor-to-neighbor reference list, open to any Lawson business owner. Please do your own research and choose the provider that is right for you.
Drawing the village…
An illustrated map, not a survey: the streets are drawn for fun. Every business on it is also in the List view.
This directory is a neighbor-to-neighbor reference list, open to any Lawson business owner. Please do your own research and choose the provider that is right for you.
Intentional Acts of Kindness
Neighbors helping neighbors
Giving a little of what we're good at.
An Intentional Act of Kindness is a member giving a neighbor a little of what their business or they do best: a plumber fixing something for an elderly neighbor, a tutor opening homework help hours. Neighbors nominate someone who could use a boost, and each act goes to the nomination it fits best.
These acts of kindness are exclusively for Lawson residents.
