I cant make it tonight.

JiriHrdina · 07-05-2007, 01:23 PM

I'm out for tonight.

fredr123 · 07-05-2007, 01:29 PM

Perhaps some rescheduling is in order...

troutman · 07-05-2007, 01:31 PM

I sent a message to Slava - if there are too few people for tonight, I suggest we postpone until September, when we can get a good turn-out.

fredr123 · 07-05-2007, 01:52 PM

You're probably right: similar problems in August will no doubt occur.

CaptainCrunch · 07-05-2007, 02:01 PM

Sorry to let you down.

If any of you want to meet for an informal beer over Stampede, I'm open to it.

FurnaceFace · 07-05-2007, 02:23 PM

I can make it, but don't mind a reschedule. Was thinking summer might be tough.

EDIT: My wife's company has an event booked at FC this afternoon/evening so they'll take up a bunch of the upstairs. It's likely going to be busy tonight so a resched could be in order.

troutman · 07-05-2007, 03:08 PM

OK, I talked to Slava. Let's postpone until September.

Have a great summer everyone.

We will make sure there is a good turn-out for our meetings in the fall.

Fozzie_DeBear · 07-05-2007, 03:44 PM

I'll be there for the concert which starts at nine.

FWIW, I am not sure you will be able to get in without tickets.

hmmmm no pne told me about it, well besides you in your office.

Slava · 08-10-2007, 12:58 PM

A few of us got together last night for a brief discussion on how this group should proceed and we came to a few decisions:

1. The group will meet on the first Thursday of every month
2. The meetings will be held at 6:30pm
3. Every attendee will have 1-2 minutes to introduce themselves and what they do, and tell everyone what kind of clientele they are looking for.
4. The meeting location will rotate amongst the attendees; the host of the meeting will have 5-10 minutes to explain their business a little more in depth and answer some questions.
5. The "forma;" meeting will not take more than an hour; after that people can hang around and enjoy a beverage or two and meet everyone.
6. We will order in pizza or whatever the host arranges for dinner.

Overall, the point is not to have things too formal. We want this to be a good business builder for everyone involved, but not so incredibly structured that it is onerous to attend!

If people would PM me the following information, you will be put into the group for future meeting locations and information. WE WILL NO LONGER BE SENDING OUT PM's WITH THIS INFORMATION.

Please forward your: name, email address and business/position to me. If you have already noted that you would like to be included in this thread then you're position in the group is saved, but we still need this info. Of course, in the interests of all of the attendees, this is limited to one individual from each profession/business.

FurnaceFace · 08-10-2007, 01:06 PM

Just to tack on to Slava's comments, the idea we had was for the host to have the meeting at their office if possible. This would give the host the opportunity to "show off" their space and their services/product line more easily and would also provide a setting that would be easier to communicate in instead of trying to talk over normal bar noise.

If there are some who don't have appropriate space to hold the meeting at their location there are some of us who would be willing and able to offer up our space.

troutman · 08-10-2007, 02:27 PM

Sorry I missed the meeting last night. I'm so busy from all the business I generate from the calgarpuck networking group, I could not get away from the office!

The format Slava is proposing is a good one. I belong to a similar club, and it has worked well for all the members. The key is to consistently attend, and you will see the rewards.

My boardroom is available, but might be too small if more than 10 people attend.

Neeper · 08-12-2007, 01:24 PM

I would like more information on this. I would think my photography business could benefit from this as well?

I'm Johnny Tran. I am a professional photographer.

Johnny Tran sounds like a sweet Villain name.

You aren't the only one to think so, Johnny Tran is the name of the bad guy in the first Fast and the Furious movie.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

wow.

troutman · 09-26-2007, 03:19 PM

September flew by. Is there enough interest to mobilize in October?

FurnaceFace · 09-26-2007, 07:24 PM

I was wondering the same thing. I can likely host...next Thursday is obviously out but there is no game on the 11th.

Yes. Probably.

Are we still going to try the office meeting thing?
