Eastside Business Online E-News

 Dear Readers: 

This e-newsletter is being sent to a growing list of 2,341 subscribers (thanks to your referrals we've added over 20 new subscribers in the past week or so).  If you feel like you get value by reading it, please forward to a friend.  Please help us get to 5,000 subscribers by January 1st.

Last week I had a lot of fun helping to put together a couple of great events - the Eastside Small Business Partner Net-Partying event at The Village Bellevue and the monthly Eastside GreenDrinks event at Pella Windows.  Thank yous are due to all the sponsors: Amy Centers, Colleen Waltman, and Mark Bridgwater at The Village Bellevue, Christopher Hughes and Leanne Pardo Mumm at One Hour Parties, and Doug Spady, Rachel Weed and Michelle Marshall who poured wines from Challenger Ridge Winery for the partner event and to Eli Griffin at Pella Windows, Chris Hem at Sierra Nevada Brewery, Kelly Koon - The Vine Vixen at Kestrel Wines and Michelle Marshall who was there again pouring wines from Challenger Ridge Winery.  I'd also like to thank everyone who attended - I hope you had a good time and found each event to be beneficial.  I really enjoyed the opportunity to introduce a lot of friends and business partners at each event and hope to do a lot more of it in the future.

If you'd like to become involved in sponsoring, hosting or helping to organize future events, please let me know.
