What a Success!

To those of you who were able to make it out last Thursday, THANKS! We had an amazing turnout. I don't know the specific number, but over 50 of you showed up. And if you were unable to make it, not to worry. We are planning to have a more formal meeting in a week or two where we can answer more questions, get people registered and start the process of committee nominations. The most important thing to remember is that 2 months ago it was 4 of us talking about Ad 2 over a few beers and now we have amassed (with your help) a large group of motivated and inspired young professionals! To borrow the tagline from the current Quaker Oatmeal campaign... Go humans go!

Check back later this week. We'll have more information pertaining to the next meeting as well as exact numbers for our kick off happy hour and (hopefully) the winner of the martini party courtesy of Bar Louie.

-Cheers (literally, it's St. Patrick's Day... go have a beer)
