Happy New Year every one!

Join us for our very first Vancouver Entrepreneur Meetup of 2009! Welcome back our loyal regulars and a warm welcome to the new members who have joined us (and there are many of you who were keen enough over the holidays to join us. We are well over 1400 members to start 2009.

If you are serious about growing your business in 2009, please RSVP to attend this event. This is your opportunity to PROMOTE and GROW your BUSINESS! Make more business connections than ever, generate referrals from attendees, establish joint venture partnerships, promote your business and attract new clients.

This is an event where you will be given an opportunity to do an elevator pitch to captive audience (cost is a door prize donation for the night). There are 3 opportunities every event for you to pitch your business but due to limited opportunities, please email me in advance ([masked]).

The event is FREE to attend but we encourage all members who are coming to bring a bottle of wine or snacks to share with every one.

Hey Minna... great idea about using the Meetup group to boost your own site's page rank :-) ... As for my excitement about this Thursday, I am hoping to meet Chiropractors and Dentists who would be interested in my new www.MarketingClinics.com venture. I can also talk about my just launched SMS Marketing and Text Messaging platform over at www.Texts.com. We will see everyone on Thursday.
