Rick Walter did a masterful job of gleaning happy dollars from the members.
Program: Our speaker was Arden Clise a Business Etiquette Consultant. Seems there are lots of situations where folks get into etiquette dilemmas. There were many questions and many laughs. Some of the dilemmas we discussed were: What to do if you forget a name during an introduction. How do you juggle a food plate and a drink at a networking event when you need to shake hands? When should you give someone your business card? How do you remember which bread plate to use when eating at a crowded banquet table? Needless to say there were many questions and alternate ideas in addition to what Arden advised is the proper way to handle some of these unique situations.
Joker Pool: Once again there was no winner and for the 2nd week it was the DV Hurst and Bill Wood money conglomerate that had the lucky ticket drawn. However they missed the Joker. Pot was just shy of $7000. No Joker Pool next week due to candidates forum.
Your humble scribe for an evening. Steve
