Networking While You Eat
On March 10, a small gathering of business owners had breakfast at the Drifters Café, in Emida. Rudy Heicksen, Fred Niemeier, Rosemary Niemeier, Richard Pullman, and Nancy Deusenbery, the owner of the café, sat together and discussed the ins and outs of doing business in the UpRiver community. The whole idea is to have a time and place to get together and share ideas, needs and resources for business success.
Rudy and Fred are both loggers with equipment of various sorts and different leads on logging jobs that require an assortment of skills and tools. It seems like too often the jobs anymore are not simple and straightforward. Sometimes it might make all the difference in landing a job if two or more proprietors can share their expertise and resources. This takes networking. Knowing who is good at what, who has what tools and equipment, and who is willing to form a limited working arrangement to accomplish something neither could do alone.
We know there are other business people who can benefit from the opportunity to network and talk about what is needed in the UpRiver area to enhance their businesses. No host breakfast meetings are scheduled for the first Monday of each month at the Drifters Café in Emida at 8:00 AM. Come join us at the table and meet others who have similar interests and challenges. If “two heads are better than one”, think what kind of genius can rise from a whole group of heads!
By the way, I hear the food is excellent, the service is great, and the portions are generous!
