Hello NW Wed Pro’s!

Thank you again to all of you who were able to attend the networking event last Wednesday, July 20^th. It was our biggest turnout ever.For those that couldn’t make it, I will recap the event.

The Ainsworth House & Gardens

NWWP Network provided complimentary wine for the evening, but didn’t have a server. Thankfully Shannon of GG’s Deli & Catering volunteered to be the server for the evening. She must have poured at least 10 bottles of wine! And what better way to mingle and eat than be accompanied by the melodious sounds of Notes of Celebration?! Linda Smith played the piano in the Fireplace room during the cocktail hour.Gardens hosted the event. With the recently

completed renovations and addition to the conservatory, it was a special treat to have our event in such an elegant setting. Speaking of elegant… Berry Elegant provided the most amazing chocolate dipped, decorated and arranged berries that you could imagine. Thank you Kathy! That’s only the beginning. Portland Catering Company set out a huge spread of delicious food for everyone to enjoy. The presentation of the food was beautiful.

Then it was time to get down to business. Our guest speaker was Alex from Total Market Exposure. He shared with us great information on how we can optimize our websites, track trends in the market, reach clients and stand out from the rest. It was an informative presentation. If you missed it, they are offering FREE consultations and special pricing to NW Wed Pro’s right now.

After everyone in the room had the opportunity to stand and introduced themselves, we had THREE door prize drawings. Two lucky winners went home with $20 bills and one lucky winner took home a gift basket of Berry Elegant desserts!

Aurora Colony Vineyards requested that the next meeting be held at their venue so it was agreed that we will meet next on Tuesday, August 9^th at 6:30pm in Aurora. We look forward to seeing their vineyard setting, chapel and grounds.

Portland Catering Company announced that they are offering a FREE wedding venue to couples who lost their wedding venue & deposits to the View Point Inn fire. Please spread the word.
