December 2011 - Issue 12

 

 

Dear EWN Members & Friends:

 

The holidays are upon us!

 

Amidst the hustle and bustle of preparations, I hope you can each find a moment to reflect on what you're grateful for, even as you start thinking about plans for the New Year.

 

Our events through May of next year are all planned, ready and waiting!  

 

Join us on Thursday, January 12 for our Morning Workshop, "Making Connections in Record Time".  Mindy Kannon will lead us in some practical, lively and fun speed networking!  February brings a much anticipated event on Blogging and March will have us perfecting how we introduce ourselves and our business to others.  Along the way, we'll have an AfterHours to enjoy post-holiday good cheer with each other and keep us going through the wintry months ahead!

 

Please check out the new EWN Board Member Profiles section of the website and start thinking about whether you would like to contribute your time, energy and talents to EWN.  We are a volunteer organization - and EWN needs YOU to keep this great group alive.  Got ideas?  Got passion?  Got talent?  Want to make yourself heard?  Contact any member of the Board today to learn more and consider getting more involved.  We'll be chatting more formally about this in the New Year.

 

For now, Happy Holidays! 

 

Best,     

Anne Wilkins 

EWN President

January Morning Workshop 
"Making Connections in Record Time!" 
Mindy Kannon
 
If you are familiar with speed dating, then you know the game.  This form of networking has become really popular throughout the world.  Tables will be set up with participants on each side.  When the host says "Go",  you have five minutes to learn everything you can about each other's businesses.  If you make a connection, then plan another meeting for later, and if not, no need to fret, you'll be moving on in a few minutes. 

This high energy networking meeting will really help you to perfect your elevator speech, listening skills and creativity.  Make sure you bring plenty of business cards.  After general networking and a light continental breakfast, we will be jumping into the action.
 
Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012
Time: 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Where: The Dolce Center, 32 Weed Ave, Norwalk, CT
  
Walk-ins are no longer permitted so register today!!

As The Dolce parking lot can fill quickly, please allow for extra time to park and walk into the center to ensure prompt arrival.
