The new format was a success! Feedback from the attendees at the April meeting was very positive.
The venue worked well, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
Food was good, the breakfast buffet offered eggs, bacon, etc.
The “gather around the table” format gave us all a chance to get to know each other better. The intros extended beyond the 30 seconds with questions being asked. Those who needed help were able to get answers, suggestions from others.
We decided to start a bit later going forward, at 8:30.
Here are the specifics for the next meeting:
- Date: May 16th
- Time: 8:30 to 9:30+
- Location: Whole Foods in Fairfield
- Format: Just networking. We will still do our 30 second elevator speeches so everyone knows who is there.
Whole Foods is located at 350 Grasmere Avenue, next to Home Depot, minutes from I95.
There is no charge for the meeting. Coffee, tea, muffins, a breakfast buffet are available for purchase.
FINE’s objective continues to be to provide a forum to “Meet People. Exchange Ideas. Grow Your Business”.
Hope to see you there!
