Event description
Join us at Mark Albertson's Law Firm on the first Wednesday of every month! We have decided to start a group for us who are in between Tacoma and Seattle.
Our group will have networking, speakers and munchies! Please show your support by showing up each month! We have put this group together for YOU who are in Kent, Auburn, DesMoines, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Tukwila, Renton, etc.
Bring business cards! Be prepared to tell us about your business; be prepared to make new friends and business colleagues. We need to give what we need -- support to one another!
We don't exclude anyone! C'mon over and join the crew.
There is parking all around; on 4th, Meeker, and Smith. FREE parking whoo hoo!

Hey Michele!
Long time no see! Yes, the first Wednesday of each month. Put us on your outlook calendar so we pop up on the Monday before the meeting so you know we're about to gather :)

Posted by Anthony Giannette, Renton, Washington | Sep 28, 2009I was a bit skeptical about a networking event so far south of Seattle. Then I saw the RSVP explode. Definitely showing up.

Posted by Ramona Lynne, Tacoma, Washington | Oct 01, 2009I have a conflict on this day of the week now. I'll keep an eye out for upcoming Kent area networking events I can attend. Thank you for doing this near our way.

Posted by Bob Dunn, Seattle, Washington | Oct 01, 2009Hey Mark and Gayle, great idea...need more of this stuff in the South County. Glad to see you are getting good response on it.
Would love to make it, but will have to pass this time.
Also, our next SoCo Connectors earlier on this day is probably our last one, so it's comforting to see continued networking opps on the area! Hope to make one sometime soon!

Posted by Janis Flagg, Kent, Washington | Oct 04, 2009Bob,
I didn't RSVP! I'll really miss the SOCO meetings.
If anyone is skeptical about networking in South King County, take heart. I started a networking group through Meetup.com and we had 14 members last November at the first meeting, now we have 174 members. My group has a rather narrow focus. It's called South King County Event and Wedding Vendors. In fact, Bob spoke at one or meetings. I can tell you how he really got the Oscar on their mantel! 8)

I had a great time! I was very happy to have met so many local business owners/entreprenuers! These meetings will make it possible to form business alliances, friendships and clients -- I hope everyone makes the most of this and attends monthly.
People do business with people they trust.
