I'm working on the details for an event (or possibly a series of events) that will provide an opportunity for deserving suburban organizations to have 'ten minutes of airtime' to tell a bit about their story, why it's important, and what type of assistance or connections they need. For those of you familiar with Green Drinks, this will be similar to the annual event where 30 organizations are presented in 60 minutes. For our first foray into this format, I'd like to offer a bit more time to each participant, so the number of spots will be limited. If interest is sufficient, we'll provide the chance for additional participation in future months.
So let's start with submissions of interested - and interesting - organizations. There are several options for submission.
The preferred option is to do so in person. That allows you to tell me a bit more about the organization you're suggesting and why you think it matters. This month, we'll be gathering in two separate locations to network and discuss these ideas and others. The first gathering will be on Wed., June 25th at Mullen's Bar and Grille in Lisle. The second gathering will be at The Ram in Schaumburg on Thurs., June 26th. Both evenings will begin at 6:30p and provide an hour or two of casual conversation and the chance for good food and drink among friends.
If those dates don't work with your calendar, then feel free to email your submissions to me at shawn@thirdisolutions.com. I'll be out of town this week with limited email access, so please be patient regarding response times.
Again, for the gatherings:
Date: Wednesday, June 25th
Location: Mullen's Bar and Grill, 3080 Warrenville Rd., Lisle
Time: 6:30p
Date: Thursday, June 26th
Location: Ram Restaurant and Brewery, 1901 McConnor Pkwy, Schaumburg
Time: 6:30p
And as always, feel free to forward this to others you feel would be interested. If you would like to be added to the email list to receive information about future events, simply send an email with that request to shawn@thirdisolutions.com. Hope to see you at one of these events!!
