Online Social Networking Class and how to's

Many of you have asked about Online Social Networking (if you have linked in, facebook, plaxo, Twitter, or participate on our InSights website, this will teach you how to use the tools for your business!). We are adding more dates to the schedule. We are also presenting at the Brighton Chamber of Commerce beginning in January, doing a lunch and learn with the Howell Chamber, as well as presenting at a local women’s group in February. We can bring this class, and several others, to your company, your sales force, rotary group or other civic organization. Just ask if you’d like to bring this information into your organization! We are happy to help, and would love if everyone learned about, used, and continued to promote these awesome tools!

See the calendar…we have awesome events this week and next…including an entrepreneur program on Monday from 8-12, Motor City Connect Pizza Party from 11-1pm and Online Social Networking from 1:30-3:30 pm. You’ve got to get involved!!

Holiday Party Recap

Holiday Party Recap...

I have posted pictures on our website. I didn't get everyone, so I do apologize. I think I need several more people with cameras floating through these events! Thank you to everyone who baked, prepared, or brought goodies to share. We appreciate you! Thank you for playing our Reindeer Games, hopefully you met some new people and had fun in the process. Thanks to Lauren Alm, our solo artist on the guitar, wasn't she great (she'll be back this Saturday at Open MIC Night, 8-11pm)! The talent in the room yesterday was amazing. We are thrilled to have you all in our lives, and look forward to your continued participation in the upcoming months! Look for the new faces you met on our InSights Group Connection website...soon to have many new members...you can also invite your friends and contacts...instructions will be coming out via one of the discussion board posts.

Announcing the winners of the Reindeer Games:

First Place, winning two Ladies Night Out booths, and a free month of membership to InSights is Chuck Thompson of Tropitan!

Bonnie Hilberer won the lighted Christmas Ornament as 1st runner up,

Andy Drake, 2nd runner up with www.seeyouthen.com, took away the Wayne Dyer Book Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life (look for a new book club discussing this book coming up on the calendar).

Winners of the guess the number of ornaments were Dr. Nicole Bittner, Hands on Health Chiropractic, with a guess of 73, and Colin Thomas of mlive.com with a guess of 71. The actual number was 72. (See me, I have a book for each of you!) Winner of the guess what's in the boxes is Arlene Clarke, with the most correct entries (Arlene, see me next time you are in as well!!)

Can you match the description with the real life person?

The SUSPECTS have been brought in today for questioning. Who do you think is telling the truth?

The detective here tonight interrogating suspects has been asking too many suspicious questions. He was last seen on stage with the microphone, trying to lip sync to some music. Mrs. White claims she has an alibi “I was at the hospital managing my staff last night, there is no way I had time to travel all the way back to InSights.” The Merry Widow reports she was in a tax coaching session with a Christmas Tree Farmer three days ago…hmmmm, motive? The farmers bookie has an interest in more trees being used this year. Could he have done it? Everyone was avoiding the enforcer who’d been at the library giving a talk on financial planning strategies in the current economic climate. Could he have influenced the act?

The last time anyone saw Mrs. Green Thumb, she was in the back shed with a spade and dirt on her nose. Miss Scarlet was last seen in the building around midnight, with the light in her office coming through the drawn shades. What could she have been doing? Gathering intel on Holiday Shoppe vendors? Mr. Green was promoting the Holiday event during his hobby of attending networking groups to promote the elimination of ums and ahs in public.

Professor Plum was last seen in A2 where he was planning the next revolution of internet marketing. There may have been some twittering involved. Colonel Mustard was planning how to rally his troops. As the talker, he was very clear in the last objectives he gave his audience! The infamous Hattie Pinprick, fastest draw in the Midwest, has access to all the vacant property in the county. Could she have the means to commit the act?

Here's the CLUE GAME from Ladies Night November 14th!

We need your help! There’s been a break-in at the InSights Group (your local co-working, networking, holistic business center)!

Yesterday when the meeting concluded and all the guests left the building, all was calm. This morning when the building was opened for business, there was a fully lit and decorated Christmas Tree with a note that read “It’s a Black Tie Affair.” Help us solve who done it by visiting all the vendors to collect your clues. You need to identify a suspect, tool to gain access to the building, and where in the building they left the tree. When completed, please visit the accusation area to enter your claim for your chance to win.

In your travels you will have the chance to question the suspects, who have been gathered here today. As a bonus, identify the alias of each of the characters, and their actual real life company for an additional entry in the CONFIDENTIAL FILE in the accusation area. Happy sleuthing!
