We need to help those fellow business owners who were brave enough, smart enough, & or clever enough to beat this disastrous shutdown & insane mandates over the last couple of years. Join us this month for a fantastic event at a great place.
This will be a YES or NO event since we want to give these local businesses a definitive number of people that will be there so they can staff accordingly.
I will send you gentle reminders until you say YES or NO.
WEATHER PERMITTING, CIGAR SMOKING IS APPROVED AS LONG AS IT IS OUTSIDE!
Let’s make those cash registers ring as we say
- Mega Emergency Pop-Up Slam@Vendetta-Walkers PointVendetta Coffee Bar - Walker's Point, Milwaukee, WI
You or someone you know was recently affected by the recent flooding.
Since we are all family, we take care of our own. A very dear friend of ours, Tommy Orlando, built up 3 Vendetta Coffee locations from the ground up in the Milwaukee area. In addition to being a fantastic pastor, he is an outstanding businessman. He graciously hosts a few of our networking events for a few of our groups at no cost.
His Wauwatosa location was right next to the river & was devastated by the flooding. Because of that, Cigar Networkers of Milwaukee, Brim & Smoke, BASICS - Faith Chamber of Commerce & Ladies of Copperfield's are joining forces for one night for a Mega Emergency Pop-up Slam Networking event for Vendetta Coffee.
We will be meeting at the Walker's Point location, as it is the largest of all three locations & is open the latest. They are open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. This is an informal event. You are responsible for your own food & drinks.
Vendetta Coffee Bar https://www.vendettacoffeebar.com/ is an Italian-style cafe with traditional coffee drinks, food & signature cocktails. Please come & support this local business by purchasing food, coffee & or adult beverages. They have an outside patio facing the street that is cigar-friendly.
Please note this is a YES or NO invitation.
Friends, family, prospects, suspects & associates are welcome. If you cannot make this event, I encourage you to go to any of their locations during the day. When you make your purchase, please leave behind your business card with the barista & say, 'Give this to Tommy" Let's make their cash register ring by filling the floor while doing some outstanding networking.Your Host is Hosted by Robert Hurst
