Hi BP Members and Investors in Connecticut we're back for ROUND 3 of our Real Estate Connecticut Networking Event at Anna Liffey's in Fairfield! We averaged 20+ people in the first two events, and the feedback has been great, and we would love if you can join.
The event has run from 7pm - 9pm, and around 7:45pm/8pm everyone can briefly introduce themselves to the group, and I would strongly recommend you make it for then.
Please note: there is no public pitching, no cost to attend, and no sponsor. Also, it's casual so dress however you feel most comfortable. My only request is that you buy at least one drink (non-alcoholic is fine) from the bar to support Anna Liffey's for allowing us to use their space.
Please post if you can make it, and feel free to invite someone who you think might benefit or add to the event.
[HELPFUL PARKING TIP: Anna Liffey's is located @ 1494 Post Road, Fairfield CT 06824 (http://annaliffeys.com/), and the back room is reserved for us. FYI: ANNA LIFFEY'S IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET, AND THERE IS A FREE PUBLIC PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET AFTER 7PM.]
Also, if you're from any of these areas or know someone that is that might benefit from the meet-up, please invite them: Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, New London, Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Bridgeport, Stratford, Trumbull, Wilton, Weston, New Canaan, Easton, Milford, Shelton, Ansonia, Orange, West Haven, East Haven, Branford, Hamden, Naugatuck, Wallingford, Middletown, Cheshire, Woodbridge, Danbury, Newtown, Oxford, Southbury, Middlebury, Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol, Meriden, Southington, Newington, Madison, New London, Killingworth, Seymour, Plainville, Bethel, Redding, Guilford and there's no doubt that I missed more cities, so please let your colleagues know to come.

Jonathan,
Really appreciate the efforts pulling this together. Unfortunately that July date is not going to work for me as I'm away on a Church Youth Group mission trip the last week in July.
I'll keep the last Wednesday in August open and pencil in the next meeting until you send out a confirmation. I'll look forward to catching up with everyone in August and though I've reach out to several BP members in Fairfield County, please don't hesitate to send me Colleague request. We're all in this together.

Hi Connecticut Seasoned Investors, Newbies, and Service Professionals,
Just want to remind everyone that's interested that we'll be getting together next Wednesday evening, July 30th (a week from tonight) in Fairfield, CT for a meet-up. There's no fees, pitching of any sorts, or BS, we just get together at a local bar to network and try to better work together in the CT real estate market.
Looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it!

Tomorrow night we are having a Real Estate Connecticut Networking Event at Anna Liffey's in Fairfield! We have people coming from all over CT, so it will probably be a good event to attend no matter where in CT you're from.
There have been on average more than 20 people at the first two meet-ups, and the feedback has been great. We would love if you can join, no matter if you're a seasoned, a newbie or a service professional. It is very casual, no pitching, no sponsor, no BS, it's just networking at a bar.
The event runs from 7pm - 9pm, and around 7:45pm/8pm everyone can briefly introduce themselves to the group, and I would strongly recommend you make it for then.
Please post if you can make it, and feel free to invite someone who you think might benefit or add to the event.

Thanks @Jonathan Makovsky It was an awesome turn out and I look forward to next month. Easily 30 plus people in the room networking and getting to know each other. Building trust and learning is how we can all succeed. Glad to meet everyone that I met.

I want to say that it was truly a pleasure to connect with this group last night. My only regret was that I wasn't able to speak with everyone so I do look forward to the future events!

Thanks so much to everyone for making last night's Connecticut real estate meet-up event happen. I believe there were about 30 people and it was really great meeting all the new faces that came, and many people focused in many aspects of real estate. Below are a couple of pictures taken during the introductions.
Future meet-ups will be the last Wednesday of every month at Anna Liffey's of Fairfield (not New Haven), so feel free to mark it in your calendar and set-it and forget-it. Next one on Wednesday August 27th.
Thanks again to everyone from representing from all over in CT and for anyone else that might be interested in the surrounding Connecticut/NY/NYC/NJ area. There are no fees, agenda, sales pitch, sponsor, or anything else - it's only here to network and meet local investors.
Also, if you're from any of these areas or know someone that is that might benefit from the meet-up, please invite them: Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, New London, Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Bridgeport, Stratford, Trumbull, Wilton, Weston, New Canaan, Easton, Milford, Shelton, Ansonia, Orange, West Haven, East Haven, Branford, Hamden, Naugatuck, Wallingford, Middletown, Cheshire, Woodbridge, Danbury, Newtown, Oxford, Southbury, Middlebury, Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol, Meriden, Southington, Newington, Madison, New London, Killingworth, Seymour, Plainville, Bethel, Redding, Guilford and other cities I missed.
