Networking for a Cause – October 2015

IMG_8586iRefer is a networking group that adopted Grace Klein Community as their non-profit organization. We were totally elated and surprised to be invited into such a wonderful iRefer family. We meet on Tuesday mornings, except the last Tuesday of the month which is an evening social. We invite any business owners that have not connected with a networking group to consider visiting one of our weekly meetings and joining our group.

Several of our networking friends suggested we work together to host a Networking for a Cause dinner where business professionals could come and share ideas and meet new people. The owner of Vecchia Pizzeria and Mercato, Bernard Tamburello, offered up his wonderful restaurant in the Preserve and even committed to give 20% of all sales from the event. Soon, a date was picked and our sponsor list grew.

A huge thanks to our sponsors: InterlinciReferVecchia Pizzeria and MercatoBNIYoung Professionals Birmingham and Grace Klein Construction, Inc. 

The evening weather was perfect and over 150 people came out to enjoy delicious pizza and meet new friends. We had some of our bemorerandom merchandise for sale and wonderful live music from Jason Mayo. Several door prizes were given throughout the evening from Sports Clips at the Grove, Hoover Tactical and a Cracker Barrel certificate provided by AC Financial Partners, along with coupons for free hair cuts to Sports Clips and coupon code discounts to BeautyKind. We also had fruit boxes for sale, another fundraising effort iRefer is spearheading for the food ministry of Grace Klein Community.

The business networking group leaders stayed late, after the event, to celebrate the success of the evening and to begin brainstorming for the next Networking for a Cause event. We will let you know when we secure a date, so you can mark your calendars to come!
