There was an interesting mix of members there, covering several different power teams. They had recently held a successful stack day as well.
It was also good to see some members had already embraced Social Media and were showing twitter, facebook and linkedin logos on their business cards and banners.
I was pleased that there was great interest in my presentation, and we had a visitor from another chapter who is also going to arrange for me to take my presentation to her own chapter as well.
I also talked about BNI Connect and the chapter set themselves the goal of all members having their Connect profiles updated by the time of next weeks meeting.

With the members embracing social media and with their projected growth they will soon be moving to a larger room at the venue, with it’s collection of antique paintings on the wall:
