Weekly Meetings

This chapter meets every Thursday morning from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM @ the Hard Rock Cafe, 1501 Broadway (43-44 Street; entrance is through the black glass doors on W 43 St)

We at Fabulous Fifties are a passionate group of professionals committed to growing our own businesses by helping others grow theirs.

Visitors are most welcome & always encouraged to attend. A $20 breakfast/meeting room fee will be collected when you arrive & register.
Be sure to bring at least 40 business cards to pass out to all who attend the meeting. We are all potential clients & are also able to refer you to others who might benefit from your services.

Please prepare a 60 second "commercial". After listening to our members commercials, you will be given an opportunity to introduce yourself to our group & to present your commercial, which should consist of the following:

* your name & company
* a brief overview of what you do
* who the PERFECT referral would be for us to send your way.

We welcome your inquiries, so don't hesitate to contact any of us with any questions that you may have.
We are looking forward to meeting you & hope that you'll join us very soon.

Warm regards,

One-to-Ones

One-to-Ones are meetings with other members outside of the regular morning meetings. These face-to-face meetings are an opportunity to get to know other members and the services their businesses offer. One-to-Ones are particularly helpful for new members, and for this reason they are counted as leads during the first two months of membership. For all members they're a great way to help get to know others and their businesses and, in turn, boost leads.
