Our next General Meeting is next Wednesday, March 19th. This
will be a
"mega-networking" luncheon. Location is the Community Center,
cost is $12
per person. There is limited seating -- Reservations are
ABSOLUTELY
required. Please, do not assume that I know you are coming. Call

This will be a format similar to 'speed dating' where each
person will
rotate to other tables throughout the luncheon. I only have room
for 49
attendees. Every person attending will receive a rotation
schedule.
A couple of rules and suggestions:
* You will be presenting a 1 minute commercial about your
business at
each table -- Practice!! Come prepared, a minute goes by
quickly. There
will be a time keeper at each table.
* Bring about 50 of your business cards, or hand-outs (if
appropriate)
to give to other attendees.
* Only one representative per company or organization will be
allowed.
* Reservations must be made and confirmed in advance.
* We will serve lunch first - at 11:45 a.m. I suggest you arrive

If you have any questions, please contact me. I'm looking
forward to this
fun luncheon.
