A seminar last year by the Long Beach Island Chamber of Commerce connected members like How You Brewin’ to an organization called InterExchange. This summer, two multilingual full-time staffers, one from Siberia and the other a university student in Lithuania, are here on the J-1 visa program sponsored by InterExchange.

“We invited businesses on LBI to attend the seminar; there wereprobably 25 to 30 businesses there,” said How You Brewin’ owner Dan Malay, treasurer of the LBI Chamber.
