See below to learn more.
February’s WENAG Meeting:
Tuesday February 13, 2018
Families First Funeral Home
1065 Lauzon Road
East Windsor, ON N8S 3M8
Time: 8:30 to 10:00AM
Thank you to Jennifer Wells at Families First for hosting our meeting and for providing coffee and fruit and muffins.
NOTE: We are launching a 3 month campaign to increase attendance for our networking meetings. Please invite people with businesses and services that cater to our senior community. If you think about it, I’m sure that you have a person or two who might benefit by networking and meeting other people. Connie Felice, from Chartwell Oak Park Terrace, is creating a large gift basket ($100 value) as a raffle prize to those participants who invite new guests to our networking meeting over the next 3 months.
The Meeting
After helping yourself to the continental breakfast, the meeting begins and each attendee is given 30 seconds to make their ‘elevator speech’ so everyone in the room knows what everyone else does.
If anyone has an event they would like to promote, time is taken to make those announcements. After that, the rest of the meeting is devoted to one on one networking or in small groups. If there is someone in the room you feel should know about your business or service, now is your chance… or perhaps someone will seek you out to find out how to hire you or access your services. It’s friendly, informal and always fun.
Door Prizes
Often times there are numerous door prizes… but only if the attendees provide them. If you can provide a gift card, gift certificate, ticket to an event or any other gift, please bring it!
Material
Be sure to bring plenty of business cards and any promotional materials you have for the brochure table or to hand out to other attendees.
Please RSVP to Peter McKeen – 519-800-3340 0r click here.
