We Know How To Party For a Great Cause.......

Thursday, October 27th, dsparada hosted the very first BNI Social Mixer.  BNI is a networking group we are members of, and stands for Business Networking International.  It is a group of local business owners who spend an hour and a half every Wednesday morning getting to know one another and educating each other about what it is that each one of us does.  Our chapter is called "The Morning Show", and we are BY FAR, the best chapter in all of Wake County.

We decided to hold a mixer last Thursday evening and invite members from all chapters in Wake County to get to know one another and help raise moneey for an organization called Team Dykeman.  This organization is dedicated to helping families of fallen Marines.  We raised a nice chunk of change and had an amazing time doing it.  There was great food and drink, courtesy of Fork and Barrell on Falls of Neuse RD.  If you haven't had the chance to get over there and check out their digs, we reccommend you go NOW!!!

What a great way to meet new people and network with those we already know, in a fun, relaxing atmosphere, after the stressful work day. 

A GREAT BIG thanks goes out to Fork and Barrell for their great work.  Also, Dr. Anna Abernathy, The Morning Show's very own party planner, did an amazing job at helping us organize and network the event, as well as Dave Wood and Rich Gorman for helping us get those emails out!

We plan to do this more and more for other charities in the area.  Hope you enjoy looking at our pics as much as we enjoyed taking them!
