Thanks to everyone who attended!!

I’ll be listing everyone who joined below so that you can have everyone’s contact information (just in case you didn’t get it)

In response to the messages left on meetup.com regarding this meeting, I’ll answer here in case anyone else has similar concerns (and since they were posted publicly, I’ll answer them publicly to be fair).

I apologize if anyone feels that they were misled about the group and where it is located. This is not a Spring Hill only group, but it does have a Spring Hill coordinator (Deanna) who will be working with me to have more meetings and expos in your area. All meetings are listed on the site, you go to whatever ones work for you.

I also apologize if I didn’t get everyone to order before introductions were made. People arrived late, we were chatting, we ordered when everyone was finally ready.

I’d like to point something out that I’ve already mentioned a few times, but that some new people might not have heard.

This is NOT a typical networking group. The focus here is on building relationships, not on trying to sell your products to the people attending the meetings. We want people to refer others to our members with 100% confidence that they will be treated right. Chatting and getting to know someone are the only way to build a relationship that is going to last well past the point when you walk out the door of the meeting venue.

We are in this for the duration and plan on being around for a very very long time. We are also expanding to a national level. This means potential for recruiting and clients across the entire nation.

And one last note: this is a free group. I put a lot of time and resources into this group. It is a new group and is going to go through normal growing pains. I appreciate comments and criticisms that will help grow the group, but I would rather someone come to me with them and not post it on a public website. Negative comments keep people from joining and that hurts everyone in the group.

And now…our attendees…
