TGIF Business and Social Networking sponsored by the Sheraton Palo Alto

The San Francisco Giants won the World Series.

Halloween = Wednesday of this week.

Fall back on Sunday and we get an extra hour of sleep.

Election Day is next Tuesday.

The holidays are coming.

We have enough reasons -- come out, celebrate, and mingle! : - )

There's no content or speaker at this event -- just business and social networking.

To facilitate more effective, efficient and interactive networking, we may set aside a little time for "lightning announcements".

Attendees will have the opportunity to make an announcement about a new product, financing need, employment opening, employment request, desire to meet a co-founder or just tell everyone else a little about themselves.

And, we have at least five door prizes for some lucky entrepreneurs!

Build your business and social network - face to face!

Come out and enjoy a great evening of good food, liquid refreshments, and connecting. Come prepared with your best smile, a firm handshake, and a great personality.

You may meet your next business collaborator, client, employer, employee, friend, or tennis partner!

Getting off your smart phone for a couple of hours will do you some good! : -)

Meet Silicon Valley business people, Internet entrepreneurs, developers, engineers, attorneys, bloggers, academics, financiers, and investors. And, yes, tennis players.

It's okay if you have to come late and/or leave early. Feel free to drop in whenever you can. You can stay for 15 minutes or for two hours.
