Stephen Rotay, president and owner of Rotay Capital Finance in Lancaster, and Bob Reagan, senior vice president with North Mill Capital LLC based in Princeton, N.J., recently hosted a networking occasion for 30 local financial experts, lenders and vendors. The evening function was held in early February at the Hamilton Club of Lancaster.

A reception, dinner and interactive presentation included an informational exchange on how to further help small businesses and individuals with finance and lending alternatives to traditional banks or having to meet the investment criteria of private equity or venture capital firms, among others.
