    Hi everyone,

    I'm sorry I miss you guys! I have cold (not Swine Flu as per doc!!!) that wouldn't go away & as a precaution, I decide not to attend.

    I'll try to catch up with you guys at the next meeting!

    Thanks to all who attended and enlivened our Killer Marketing session at Focus Northwest! It was great to share Global expertise with the likes of Holly Barbo and other globe trotters among us.

    Special thanks to John Sedgwick for his succinct rundown on the free options to maximize your Local web presence. Great comments and questions by all. Let's do it again!

    FYI: Focus NW welcomes potential members. We figure this was a first organization to sponsor an all biznik event in our area?

    Thanks John and Susan for sharing your wealth of knowledge - I should say a fraction of your wealth of knowledge. Great topic and great people! Thanks!

    This was my first BizNik event. I think it went well and was very interesting. Scott Caldwell had signed up but could not attend, at the last minute. He has followed up by contacting me personally. So that was one more person i met through the event. Well met everyone.
