Jay, I have three things to say.

1) Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend; I now have 18 events to choose from on Thursdays.
2) Your group sounds like the perfect consortium to help me help the world with my 'concept' due to the diversity & the size.
3) I may have a place you can meet that'll hold 2 to 50 people. It's located in North Central Newington.

Every other Wednesday starting 03/07/12 is good for me. Starting 03/14/12 I have a BNI group meeting every other Wednesday.

Sounds great. I'm coming from New Haven and look forward to attending. I know most of the libraries have meeting rooms free of charge if you book ahead & have a local library card.

What is the possibility of holding some of or all of the meetings every other (starting with 04/21/12) Wednesday of the month? If your next meeting is held on 03/21/12 there is a good chance that I will be able to attend most of if not all of the group's meetings.

Hi Everyone,

I have received several emails with respect to preferences as to which of the day of the week meetings will work best. Though our first meeting will be on a Thursday, I suspect that going forward, it will be Tuesday or Wednesday. We can discuss on the 8th.

Looking forward to meeting everyone then.

Jay, Thank you. Since I won't be @ 1st meeting, I have 3 additional comments. They're in order from my request to my preferences with the last being least desired but OK.

1) Please keep them evening meetings - maybe longer.
2) Please schedule them every other Wednesday - starting with 04/21/12 because if they're on the 1st & 3rd or 2nd & 4th I'll have to some till there's a fifth Wednesday.
3) Please don't schedule any on the third Tuesday of the month.

If needed, please contact me.

Love a Thursday event! Can't make too many Wednesday events because I have my event days that day too. Looiking forward to the 3/8 kick off! ;)

great meeting everyone. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

I agree one hundred percent.

Was very nice to connect with everyone tonight. Look forward to interacting and/or doing business with you all in the future.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the first meeting, lots of great feedback. Stay tuned for more information on next month's meeting. If you are interested in being the featured speaker, please drop me a line.

Jay, I applaud you for creating this Meetup group and, for sharing your time with us last night. I definitely am willing to help you in any possible way that I can so please ask anytime.

To everyone else who attended last night's meeting, it was a pleasure meeting you and, I would like to offer everyone a complimentary 15 mins call with me. Don't know what to talk about? See how I can help here: http://www.entrepreneursthatsoar.com/services.html
Just bring me your thoughts and ideas!

Jay - I think first speaker honors should go to you as the organizer.
