The second business networking group meeting will be on Wednesday, September 27th at noon. Our first meeting brought out 35 local business owners and raised $175 for Creating Hope.

These monthly meetings will be designed to help you network with other Geist area businesses and learn more about some of the area's not for profit and volunteer opportunities.

A $5.00 per person per meeting fee will be collected to pay for the meeting space, lunch, or other incidental charges. The remainder will be donated to the local charity of the month. September's charity will be the Cheer Guild at Riley Hospital.

Unlike other business networking groups, the Geist Business Connections will not grant exclusivity to any business nor will it have weekly meetings. Instead, any area business owner is invited to attend as often as they wish and meetings will be held monthly to limit your time commitment.

Businesses that are interested in hosting a monthly meeting and/or donating lunch/breakfast are asked to email Tom Britt or Sandor Gal. If you are interested in having an active role in this group, you are also asked to contact Tom or Sandor.

Remember, all proceeds will go back into our Geist community charities!
