Another Successful Meeting
What a great turnout for our Second to Last Meeting of 2007. We had about 90 attendees and I saw a bunch of hands pop up when we asked for new members to be recognized. It is a pleasure to be a part of such a dynamic and fun group of business people.
Thanks to Sam Taylor for a great presentation. Some of those stories were definite eyebrow raisers.
Our next meeting is December 11th, and it is the final one of the year! Make sure you drop by and get in some great networking before the holidays.
Also, the Spotlight Speaker sheet will be available for signup at the December 11th meeting.

10/9 Meeting
What a great meeting today for the South Council. Special thanks to Donna Bavier of Brightway Insurance for filling in as the Spotlight Speaker and to Gwen Burch of Human Architeture, Inc. for facilitating our networking meeting for the quarter.
I think Gwen's presentation was excellent. Sometimes, it takes an outside source to force us to examine the simplest aspects of our business. We get so wrapped up in the day to day grinding out of a living, that we forget to step back, relax and examine things like "who is our best customer?" "what is a good referral for me?" "do my business associates know exactly what i do?"
You'd be surprised how many people may not know exactly what you do. And you know they want to refer you business!
See you all at MOCA next Wednesday! (the 17th)

Chamber & Eggs
What a great event today downtown. Many people, lets say about 60? Braved the weather to come out to Chamber & Eggs bright and early at 8am!
Chamber & Eggs, for those of you who have not attended, is a New Member Orientation where all the offerings of the Chamber are described. It isn't just for new members, though. Seasoned vets also get a lot out of it by getting their names in front of a lot of new members and also serving as a Chamber Resource.
One great tool you get to take home with you is a photocopy of everyone's business card that attends. If you don't have time to meet a target client at the event, give them a call!
Oh, and the bacon was DELICIOUS.

Craig McColskey
Chris thanks for setting up this new blog....I feel so high tech. I just wanted to post a message on the blog about the Military Luncheon to be held on November 13th. I believe this will be a great event for those that would like to attend. Just a reminder, the South Council has purchased a table for the luncheon (10 seats). After my annoucement at the last meeting I was approached by only one person to volunteer and attend the luncheon. Al Bagocius, retired Military and member of the South Council, has volunteered and will be joining us at the Military Luncheon.
If anyone is interested in attending or has a family member/friend that is currently in the military ...please contact me at 904-899-8030. We are looking to invite South Council members that are also in the military or retired military. Or if you would just like to volunteer to help during the luncheon please let me know.
Thank you, and you can call me Craig "Customers Never Leave" McColskey!!!!

Great Event
Thank you to Brooks Health & Fitness for a wonderful event last night. It was very well attended with some great food!
Business After Hours is such a great opportunity to do some networking with your hair down. It is also attended by a variety of business people that you may not catch at your normal council meeting. It is an event that gets marked on many calendars.
If you were there, I hope you had a great time, if not, I hope to see you at the next one!

Welcome to the South Council Business Blog
On September 25th, 2007, Bob Myers from the UNF Small Business Development Center came and talked to the South Council about Business Blogging. He said it was easy. He was right.
I just went to blogger.com and created the blog you see before you in about 10 minutes. It was much easier than thinking of something creative to say in my 15 second introduction at the South Council! Congrats to Craig, by the way, for using "CNL Bank stands for Customers Never Leave". I liked it.
Anyway, I'm creating this blog as Co-Chair of the Marketing Committee of the South Council. It's intention is to get people chatting about business, networking, current events and anything that gets our business community talking. 2 meetings a month is great, but a blog is 24-7, 365.
I'll serve as moderator, but anyone can post comments and get conversations rolling. Please, no shameless plugs like "you know, that speaker was great today. Speaking of brand new cars, as President of Bob's Trucking, Inc. we provide custom brakes and shocks for any customer...need to refinance your car? We do that too."
It is the goal of the South Council Business Blog to become a resource for any person, in any industry and any pay grade. Join in...don't be shy!
