Networking Luncheon Raises $200 for Riley Toy Room
By Tom Britt

Our Geist Business Connections luncheon yesterday (September 28, 2006) at the Log Cabin Animal Hospital raised $200 for the Riley Toy room in addition to introducing over 40 Geist business owners to each other. Heather Dawes from the Cheer Guild at Riley Hospital for Children was our guest speaker, giving attendees a good overview of their toy room mission at Riley and ways that local businesses can contribute.

A big thanks to Action Air of Fishers (Kandie Dinger) for donating the drinks and desserts. Also, Chris Kauth from Inge's German Market brought in some German brats, sauerkraut, and German potato salad which was well-received! Thanks to them and the Log Cabin for donating the space, 100% of our proceeds went to the Cheer Guild.

Next month, our meeting will be on October 25th at Dinners by Design off of 96th Street in front of Menards. Dawn & Brian Boyer have graciously agreed to host our meeting and donate lunch. Ken Moreland is donating the drinks and we are looking for someone to donate desserts (hint, hint).

Thanks again to all of you who came. I'm sending out the contact list of attendees to you all today.
