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!!!!
