Happy New Year! We are very excited as we enter 2016 and have hit the ground running with a full calendar of upcoming events! On Jan. 28, our Rise and Shine Networking Group welcomes Ira Joe Fisher to the Keeler Tavern at 7:45 a.m. Breakfast will be served at this free event and Ira Joe will present on the topic of “Speaking Fearlessly — Strategies for Effective Communication.” Whether you’re speaking to a single person, a small group, or a larger audience, this seminar will cover connecting with your audience, overcoming nervousness, the power of conversation and anecdotes, eliminating bad habits in voice rhythms and gesturing, talking with confidence, and learning how listening can be more important than speaking at times.
Coming in February, we will host our first annual Love Your Local Business showcase. Our focus is on our service-oriented businesses such as plumbing, design, landscaping, financial, and more that are right in our back yard! Our event will be held on Thursday, Feb. 11, at the Ridgefield Recreation Center from 4 to 7. There will be food, drink and raffles, and it promises to be an exciting evening! The event is free to the public. Vendor tables are still available. Information or registration: .
Also coming up in February will be Restaurant Week from Feb. 21 to 27. Our local eateries will be offering specials throughout the week and it will give everyone a chance to try something new. Check our website often for updates of participating restaurants so you can plan your week of not cooking!
