... August power lunch ...

Well so the power lunch is held every first Friday of the month and the way it works is that we pick a restaurant and invite all the NSBE alums out for lunch. A pretty okay way to network coz really - you gotta have lunch and why not just have it with other NSBE alums and get to make that connection?



Anyway, today’s lunch was at Pedro’s in Santa Clara. Pretty cool place. Too bad nobody took pictures and hence I have to resort to posting a nice little generic image that I pulled off the Pedro’s site. For shame. A couple of people showed up - Guidant, Cloudshield, NASA, Cepheid, Rockwell and Juniper were well represented esp. Guidant. Those stent guys really rounded up a crowd. Juniper is hiring by the way. Anybody need a job? The food was nice - you know Mexican restaurants - fill up on salsa and chips waaaay before food shows up.



All in all, it was a great event, we doubled last month’s attendance and at this rate our numbers should increase exponentially. By December we will definitely have to reserve a whole restaurant if we keep going at this rate.

The short: Mark your calendars. We are definitely gonna shake it up come September 1st. And Juniper is hiring.
