Fun and meaningful business connections

Wednesday's Let's Dish! Business event was completely amazing. I had intended it to be an awesome event with great connections to be made but I was blown away. E-mails keep pouring in from the participants. Here is just a sample of the wonderful things they are saying:

- Thank you Teresa – I had a fabulous time. Great introduction, fabulous environment and inspiring guests. I think this was a wonderful kick-off event and I would absolutely be interested in attending again sometime. Your sincerity is inspirational and Darcy’s (Let's Dish! co-owner) energy and balance were refreshing – invigorating. Clearly she must have a busy life as she enjoys the success of her dream thus far – BUT she was down to earth and fit in with the group. I am glad to have been there, yesterday. Thank you for everything. Great Job! -- Diane Healey, Sweet! truffles, cakes and more.
(Along with a wealth of wonderful gifts in the goodie bag, every participant received a delicious truffle from Sweet!)

-teresa -- excellent event! i love the multitasking of it -- bringing home dinner and networking at the same time...great! maybe next time we can fold laundry together (nothing like knocking out more home projects.)
and your gift bags were terrific -- amazing. thanks again for a really fun time. -- Lenore Moritz Rabatin, MomCulture

-First, I want to say thanks for putting together that great event on Wednesday. I had fun, met some great people and have four full meals in my freezer! Doesn't get any better than that. -- Connie Lanphear, green i communications

- CONGRATULATIONS! This was great - I'm so glad I came. You've got something fun here. -- Beth Woodward, Marketing on the Playground

-It was a great event Teresa. You are definitely in your element in that role, much to the benefit of everyone who attends. With thanks and a WOW back -- Martha Franke, life coach and therapist, Creative Coaching

-(I've set a) meeting on Wed. about a website and 2 other people said they'd give me a call! Pretty good response rate I'd say! Great connections! I really hope you continue these networking sessions with Let's Dish and I think they should just create a position in their company for you to do that. Darcy was very inspiring and obviously impressed with you and the turnout, so good luck! -- Lisa Schmidtke, Web Depot

-You did an OUTSTANDING job pulling it all together and really just making it such a great event for everyone involved. I left feeling very inspired by you and everyone else. Lot's of fun.Thanks and GREAT JOB! - Darcy Olson, co-owner, Let's Dish

We are planning to offer two more Let's Dish! Business networking sessions at the Edina location. The dates are Wednesday, May 9, 7-9 p.m. and Thursday, May 10, 10-noon. I'll post details in my next blog entry and in our e-newsletter.

Happy connecting!
Teresa
