September 29th progressive networking event

The day started beautifully, and 37 organizations showed up. Unfortunately, the rain began at 2 and about 25% of the people left, and at 3 when the massive winds started, 95% left, with several people still showing up at 4, and 6-12 remaining until 6 that evening . Good party. About 200 people showed up all together, and everyone was happy that the event occurred.

Significant networking happened, and the comraderie was strong. Requests for a second event have been many. Although local TV news was present, we were not shown on TV.

Unfortunately, many folks who intended to come were out canvassing for the city elections, and some campaigns doing last minute phone calls for 9/30 reporting needs. I also made a mistake by not giving weekly reminders to exhibitors. Live and learn.

Company was great, food great and plentiful, spirits high. I'll be happy to host another event.
