The 2008 LI Connects Summer Social is history now... but the memories are HISTORICAL!!

Our 2008 Summer Social at the Irish Times Pub in Holbrook was a HUGE success!! Here are some of the RAVE REVIEWS that continue to pour in:

"...SEE YOU ALL AUGUST 20TH AT OUR REGULAR MEETING….HEY I
HAVE TO RUN TO CALL MY LEADS FROM LAST NIGHT!"

"...I am so glad that I attended your event last night. You folks make everyone feel right at home. Just a fantastic group of people."

"...A wonderful group of professionals... I'm eager to do business with any of them!"

"...MADE ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN PART OF THE GROUP EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME."

"...so much business at this party that I ran out of business cards!"

"...Great job done by all to grow the group and make new contacts."

Congratulations to LI Connects and "WELL DONE!!!" to the Board and members who volunteered their time and effort to make our 2nd annual Summer Social a tremendous evening!

We raffled off 12 gift baskets filled to the brim with exciting gifts from members, more wine than the Irish Times served that night and many gift certificates that were valued up to $200 each!!! Talk about a party!! And what about that LOTTO tree raffle??? We'll find out if the lucky winner struck it rich if she disappears for the winter!
