Networking Group, Link_DFW, Is Worth Your Time (Dallas)

Familiar with “Ning”? It’s a relatively new website that allows anyone to create their own, private, online social network. Why do that? More flexibility in access to other members, more freedom in creativity, things like that. If you’re a member of LinkedIn you already know the limitations imposed on the membership. While they’re in place for good security reasons they do place severe limitations on your access to each other, especially if you’re in it for the serious networking opportunities.

Enter Ning. Enter Chuck Zdrojowy. Chuck wanted just that; a bit more freedom and flexibility in his online networking efforts so he started his own version of what he thought the LinkedIns of the world should be offering him. Then he opened it up to the rest of us. Link_DFW is the local chapter and there are chapters springing up all over the country.

Local networking maven, Cher Lon Malik, spearheaded the creation of the DFW chapter and drives it’s monthly meeting. The meeting is free, you cover your own expenses at the cash bar. The meeting is usually held in a far North Dallas watering hole but occasionally meets elsewhere such as the planned boat cruise on Lake Grapevine in September, and Casino Night at Sir Speedy Walnut Hill in October.

Good people, upbeat tempo and atmosphere to the meetings, and a genuine understanding of what true networking is, and isn’t! I think you’d like it. Come visit us once and you be the judge. It’s free!

Save the date on your calendar! Thursday, October 16th 2008 is the date for the 1st Annual Casino Night to be held at the Sir Speedy Walnut Hill facility. Because of limited space this will be an invitation only event, but, if you just can’t live without an invitation you can send an email with your name, email, and mailing address to CasinoNight@SirSpeedyNorthDallas.com and I’ll see that you get on the invitation list!

The event will begin at 5:30 with gaming from 6 until 9PM, and the prize drawings will be held at 9PM unitil finished. You must be present, and sober, to win! Gaming will include:

We’ll have free food and some mild libations of various sorts. Each guest will receive an initial cache of chips upon arrival and you may use them in any game you like until they’re gone! So come early, stay late and have some fun.

See this page on the Link_DFW site, too.

Oh, and the Link_DFW networking chapter (a really cool group of people led by Cher Lon Malik, who knows how to do networking properly) will be holding it’s monthly gathering at this event (no “meeting”, just gaming and rubbing elbows with all the beautiful people) so come meet some of the most friendly, prolific, networkers in North Texas on the planet.
