As far as lineage goes, I could be graciously described as being of mixed descent, but there’s a good helping of Scotch blood in my veins. Ironic, then, that after spending nearly 40 years wandering the desert, I ended up living in New Hampshire, in the Nutfield region. Originally settled by Scottish families in 1719, the specific site of the original European settlement is now part of Londonderry.
Fast forward 290 years, and the desert Scott now lives near by. I am pleased to find that the Nutfield Networking Group, which in recent years has been been a networking group primarily via Yahoo! groups, is beginning regular meetings again. In a recent e-mail to the group, Vincent Pelliccia (Co-founder & director) wrote,
I cannot tell you how excited we are to approach the restart of our regular meetings. The Yard’s facilities are near perfect for our group with room for nearly 300 people. The energy and heart of the group, recalling the many compliments we received, will be rekindled and reenergized soon. Marty, Jeanne, Steve and I are very enthusiastic about the upcoming meetings and those to follow. As you know, we had an incredible series of events with quality presentations and activities. Jeanne is working diligently to line up like talent and the meetings should be as strong as ever. We hope to see old and new friends next Tuesday at the Yard. Again, 4/7/09 7PM to 9PM at the Yard Restaurant in Manchester.
I had a chance to speak with Vincent, and I can tell that he is deeply committed to this cause. The Yahoo! group has been growing at a rapid clip since the resumption of meetings was announced, so it promises to have a good crowd and plenty of opportunity to network. Practice your elevator pitch, grab your business cards, and head on over to The Yard. In addition to the networking opportunities, a pretty good presentation is lined up. Peg Savoia, Account Manager at Bostonpost Technology, will be speaking about “The Versatile Job Seeker in Today’s Job Market”
This is a great opportunity for both the employed and job seekers alike. I hope to see some of you there. Learn more by visiting the Nutfield Networking Group‘s Web site.
