I'd like to attend now that I'm back as a functioning member of society.

On second thought, if the meeting is going to be on October 4 I won't be able to attend. Got tickets to hear The Honourable Peter Lougheed sppek at the Round Up Centre.

I'm in...but I suggest we skip October 4th (Flames home opener/season opener!). Shall we aim for the 11th and set down a venue?

Definately, October 4th is my birthday, and I'll be the drunken idiot at the game, come by and see me

Is there a list of people's professions for this?

I'd be interested, depending. I'm looking to start a (technical) business, and could use a few contacts.

I'm still in the process of R&D, I'm hoping to start selling my product come April for the Oil&Gas trade show.

troutman · 09-27-2007, 12:58 PM

Oct. 11th would work for me.

FurnaceFace · 09-27-2007, 08:28 PM

Just thought I'd pull out Slava's email with the details we discussed at the last week.

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.

Clearly the 11th is the first day we can meet in October (and while we're at it Nov 1 and 8 are also home games so we may have to pick the 7th).

Hopefully everyone has already sent Slava their contact info, if not, please do, so we can get a Google/Yahoo/whatever group setup soon to send out invites.

I should be good to host the first one unless The Captain would like to kick it off as originally planned. We're at 555 11th Ave SW and have the added advantage of a pizza place, a Macs, and a liquor store downstairs from us so we should be well stocked. Good central location and also parking shouldn't be too bad. I'll send specific directions once we've got a list together.

Cheers.

If you want to take the first one, that would get me time to get used to my new environment, and do the second one in November

If thats ok with the rest of the group.

Nope I went to a company called Avanti Software, they develope user defined payroll and human resources software, I've taken over the Western Canadian sales effort so my territory goes from Manitoba through B.C.

CaptainCrunch · 10-09-2007, 04:12 PM

Hey all, I wanted to re-energize this thread, I know that the second Thursday of the month is coming up. Do we have a firm meeting in place for this week?

fredr123 · 10-09-2007, 04:24 PM

Not sure about the meeting place (furnaceface?) but I'm still interested in meeting this week.

troutman · 10-09-2007, 04:27 PM

I am available. Slava might be willing to host.

Slava · 10-09-2007, 04:29 PM

I'm in for the meeting, and almost sure that I can host. That being said...my wife is still due...so maybe someone could host and I'll just make plans to attend?

CaptainCrunch · 10-09-2007, 07:05 PM

Maybe, because of the organizational pressures here, we should look at next week for a get together.

FurnaceFace · 10-10-2007, 08:58 AM

Sorry, I was away in Ottawa for the weekend and just got back last night. I can still host, but am good with holding off until next week.

Our friends kid had a cold and I might have caught something so next week would be the safer bet for all of you.

fredr123 · 10-10-2007, 11:44 AM

This week, next week... all fine by me.

It would be awesome to get some new blood though. Unless Captain gets himself into some trouble here soon, he's not much use to me

I'll commit a crime just for you.

I'm really good at murdering the english language. Does that count?

FurnaceFace · 10-10-2007, 04:39 PM

How about Wednesday the 17th? There is a home game on the 18th I assume a few people will have tickets to.
