JOIN ME FOR OUR 4TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY AND COOKIE EXCHANGE! Bring 1 dozen of your favorite holiday cookies to exchange and share with others! It will be a great time to munch on some sugary treats while learning about a new way to network that ACTUALLY WORKS! Hope you can make it.

READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE YOU CAN GET INTO THE PARTY:

OUR HOLIDAY COOKIE EXCHANGE AND DECEMBER EVENT IS GOING TO BE COOL, FUN AND IN A BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE MANSION IN THE HILLS!

Unlike most of our Orange County events this one will be held in a very large private mansion. The home is located in a gated community and will only allow for 20 cars for the event. To be respectful of this I suggest you gather by 6pm LATEST at Wells Fargo Bank Parking Lot in Newport Coast Shopping Center and we will all carpool up together. That address is: 211023 Newport Coast Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92657.

NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED PAST 6:30PM AS WE WILL ALL BE UP AT THE EVENT AND TICKETS SALES WILL END FOR THIS EVENT AT 5:30PM!

If we determine you will be driving people up, those who offer will have to give me their names 24 hours prior to the event. All parking for the event will be neighbor street parking in a secure community and a simple walk down a 100 foot drive.

We will likely be gathering outside so please wear something warm depending on the weather.

FINALLY: Please bring 1 dozen of your favorite Christmas or Holiday Cookies as this is also our annual Holiday party and Cookie exchange!

This is going to be our most fun night so far of the year, but we must abide by the community parking and entry rules ok?

All questions should be directed to Mark E. Sackett at 415-602-9500

NOW A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS EVENT!

Do you hate Networking as much as most of us do? Are you also bad at it, often wondering why no one returns your calls or follows up with you after a "Networking Event"? Join us in any of our cities for "The Art of Active Networking", and let's change everything you believe about Networking!

Take a look at our site and what people say about the events here: TheArtofActiveNetworking.com

At this event you will make some amazing connections and you will learn why Networking is not about what you get, but what you give and what I call my #GIVE4. You really only need to meet one person to make your entire night worthwhile if you know what you are doing. You will have an opportunity to speak to everyone in the room, and you will absolutely meet people you might otherwise never have an opportunity to meet and you will see that's it's not what you are selling or how you sell it that matters, you will instead learn the importance of building 'know, like and trust' relationships! Finally you are then invited to join all of our groups and pages and use our FREE walls to post up what you might be looking for, all of those links are on our homepage near the ticket link.

Everything you need to know about this event is on our site. Join the pages and the groups, spread the word and also take a look at my TEDxFulton Street talk, also on our site.

Giving to and helping others will change your life. I ask you to only consider taking 4 hours out of your very busy week to do just that in the following ways:

1. Give your ideas and talents. You are one talented person and so many never get to see or benefit from your gifts.

2. Give a little money, you can pay someone’s toll, buy them a coffee behind you in line or donate to a non-profit! All of them will appreciate the effort. Go ahead, make their day.

3. Give of your time, the elderly lady down the street could use a little help in her yard since her husband passed, your local shelter or non-profit is always needing some help with volunteers. Let their small need be your good deed!

4. Give of your referrals in your network to help someone. This is the easiest thing to do ex. using social media sites to provide a great way to refer each other to new connections.

Finally, as I always say, “WE ALL STRUGGLE WITH SOMETHING” and guess what? It’s not easy to ask for help. But it’s very easy to open the door for someone to ask buy simply offering to listen. So…#GIVE 4 / GIVE MORE!
