Event description

Biznik members and guests...

Please join us for an extended Friday casual lunch at Smitty's Restaurant & Deli, located in the professional buildings at 1800 Cooper Point Rd in West Olympia.

This will be a networking event only, so there will plenty of time to get to know each other's businesses in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone will have the opportunity to give a short speech about their business, skills, and ideal leads.

The event is free, but at least 20 attendees need to purchase lunch to cover the cost of the room. If you are NOT going to have lunch, please let me know specifically; otherwise, I will assume you will be buying lunch. We need an accurate head count ahead of time because the restaurant will be preparing a menu specifically for us.

The menu for this event is:

Caesar Salad-Roamaine lettuce, sliced English cucumbers, olives, grape tomatoes,croutons, and Caesar dressing.

Fresh green beans with Garlic seasoning

Rolls with butter

Fresh Fruit

Dessert-one of the following:brownies, cookies, or 7-layer bars (all homemade)

Beverages: Coffee, Decaf, Tea, ice water, and fresh lemonade.

Cost for lunch is $12.50 per person.

Biznik members: you are invited to bring a guest; however, please have them sign up for a free Biznik membership and confirm they are coming and whether or not they will be eating.

We've had a fantastic response to our March Biznik Meet & Greet, so let's keep the momentum building and fill this event too!

Will do, Jolynne. I'm going to check in with Apollo tomorrow and see if I can also get access to an adjoining room. I might be able to open this week's event back up for a few more people if Apollo's can accomodate it. I've had 3 or 4 people ask alreay since it closed :) I'll email all the attendees for the April event if anything changes.

Just in case you didn't see the email, I got us the largest room that Apollo has, so the March 27 meeting can now hold 35 people. Feel free to sign up for that if you're interested.

Yea! I'm so happy we now have something regular and growing in Olympia. Russ, I have a nice pack of cool BizNik post cards that I can hand out at the March event as well, so people can hand them to their South Sound entrepreneur friends. See you soon!

Gosh. Sorry to have to back out again, but a shoot just came up in Tacoma that day. I won't be done in time to make it. At least I'm keeping busy!

Hello Everyone

I will miss lunch with all of you, as I have a spontaneous opportunity to meet with some out of town associates around the same time today. Hope you all have a good time.

I've updated the address to include "SW" so the Google Map shows up correctly. Thanks for pointing that out, Justin.
