... September power lunch ...

How about we pull out the big fish and fry it whole – just because we are in the big leagues. Santana Row’s Straits cafĂ© was this months venue for the Power Lunch. Everyone in the South Bay knows about Santana Row and all the great things it has to offer. Lunch was lovely. Not much more I can say to that. This time around Hewlett Packard had the greatest representation and we had a member present from a new continent – Europe.



There were a lot of new faces at this event which is a good thing. This goes to affirm the "assumption" we had when we first started doing chapter events “Different things will appeal to different members, some want to network, others want to give back, others want to socialize (yes yes Networking and socializing are two different things – At least in my book) … ” And once again, the numbers did increase from the last power lunch we had! One of the funniest scenes at the table was when we started exchanging business cards – There were so many of them flying left and right. It was all about classic duck and cover moves – talk about total chaos.

Next power lunch will be coming up on the 6th of October. Hope to see you there.
