Here are a some nice things some of our biznik's said about our last event on 4/7/09...

Janice Brady with Waddel and Reed: • The event was very fun and I got two potential appointments set! Cant wait until the next one! Maybe I'll host one too - at some point - after tax season. All the best, Janice


Scott Sinclair with Tree Harmony Arborists • Given on Fri Apr 10, 2009. Michele did a fantastic job hosting the Networking Power Hour this weeks in Renton. She helped everyone feel included, organized some great raffles and prizes, and incorporated some charitable giving into our gathering. Her heart for building up people and empowering their lives and business is readily appreciated. Thanks Michele, Scott Sinclair


Eva Hoffman with Adventures in Advertising • Best networking event I've attended with Biznik! Michele Edwards did a fabulous job as host! Well organized, great group of folks, nice casual venue to mingle and meet.


Shalonne Foster w/ • Great Event. The location, time and energy were all perfect. Let's do it again!


Gayle Kendall with GK Financial Services • I was glad to have snuck? sneaked? out of the office to meet everyone! I really enjoyed myself, and hope to attend more of your functions… When is the next one????!!!


Rachel Rausch Johnson with Rachel Rausch Photography • Thanks Michelle! Liked the format, too, of giving away prizes!
