It’s tonight and 16 people have so far registered for it. I will deliver a business tip, Annette Auger will deliver a career tip, and Carol Edelson will talk about her May 13 workshop for a few minutes.

Typically, fewer than 10% of our members come to our “First Monday” networking event. One member has told me she does not want to come, because she does not want to pay for a networking event, another does not want to come because we no longer have a program with a speaker (we did away with that as of the first of this year, because attendees last year started complaining that the “programs” had become little more than sales pitches). Another member would come if she did not have to eat (nobody “has to” eat!), and another would prefer it if we had a more formal setting with a full dinner. Some members think 5 PM is too early to start and others think 8 PM is too late to end. Sitting down at a networking event is counter-productive, some say, while others would not come if it was simply a stand-up meet and greet event.

Phew! It’s not easy to please everyone.

Why don’t you come this evening and tell me what you REALLY think . . .
