DEAR TORONTO NETWORKING MEMBERS:

CONFIRMED --

COMMITTEE ROOM #4.
5100 YONGE STREET,
NORTH YORK CIVIC CENTRE.

MATVEY KIPERSHTEIN PRESENTING
Our Group Super Star and Massage
Therapist, Matvey Kipershtein will be starting off with a 10 minute lecture
& workshop, on how to feel good! We
know most of you are coming from work – and you need to be refreshed. Matvey will walk you through some techniques
to relax yourself and energize yourself.
Matvey’s lectures & mini 5 minute exercise workshops are NOT TO BE
MISSED!
MY OBSERVATION: I have observed that **MOST** of you are not reading my announcements thoroughly and coming to the meetings un-prepared. This potentially results in not only wasting other’s time, but yours as well. Practice is important. Please time yourself, and have your 45 second introduction practiced, time and time again. This meeting, you will be asked to be seated within 45-60 seconds with a timer. “Practice, Practice, Practice – makes perfect”. Please be prepared.
SUCCESS OF THE GROUP: This group’s success is dependent exclusively on professionals & business owners like yourself. I am requesting each of you – to invite just 1 new member to the group. Please make an initiative to spread the word, by simply inviting just one new member. Additionally please visit the link below, as we need your feedback! It is important because that is the ONLY way, we can make this group better.
PRESENTERS: I want to take the opportunity to thank both Steve and Matvey for giving presentations and volunteering some time out of their busy schedules. Everyone was able to relate to Matvey’s presentation, and every business owner was able to relate to Steve’s presentation. They were both targeted for different audiences. Thank you Matvey and thank you Steve.

Our last meeting on the 19th comprised of a larger audience. Our group is increasing in size every day & it’s important for all of us to be ready & prepared for the meetings.
COMMENTS & FEEDBACK: Please note – we are asking for comments and feedback on how to make the group better and more successful. We are not asking about your personal opinion about attendees. If you have a complaint against someone, feel free to address it to me and other group moderators (soon to be appointed), but please do not post any comment that has the potential to offend attendees. We want to concentrate & focus our energy to make the group more productive and pleasant. Please join our discussion and provide your feedback at the following URL:
SUGGESTIONS ADDRESSED: I have listened, and I have acted. The group meetings comprise of 50% employment opportunity seekers, and 50% business owner – referral opportunity seekers. My intention and vision is to address future meetings by utilizing half the time, but increasing productivity to double. For this reason, we are working very closely with our booking agency, to reserve separate rooms. These are growing pains, to soon convert to pleasant and more successful events. Hang in there and thank you for your support and patience!
SPONSORS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS: We need some sort of financial support from sponsors. Attending meetings are free. If you would like to sponsor an event and take 5-10 minutes of attendees time and promote your product or service, please contact me. Cost is $100. **EVERY** penny will be put straight back into the community, to make the meetings better. If any individual would like to donate any amount – it is also welcome. The expenses and money spent will be made public, with open disclosure & transparency. So far I have invested time and money to make this group a reality, and would certainly appreciate if the successful business owners in the group came forward to contribute along with me.
SPEAKERS AND TOPIC SUBMISSIONS: If you wish to present a topic and it is not of advertising nature – something that has the potential to benefit the group and the audience can benefit from the topic, then please contact me asap with a proposal. You will be allowed 10-15 minutes MAXIMUM, to give your presentation. I reserve the right to approve or deny the topic, based on the content.
INVITE NEW MEMBERS: Please take the initiative to invite just one new member to the group. This is the only way this group will evolve and become larger.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: I want to convey my thanks to all of you who attended and made the event more successful than I ever imagined. A special thanks to the gentleman who recently arrived to Canada, for helping me clean up and re-organize the room.
Kind regards,
Reza.
