Please let me know how I can reach you.
Thanks, Cheryl
I've just created another networking site for small businesses based in Orange County, CA. Check out www.small-business-oc.com. It's a great place to promote your business locally.
I just recently launched my PR firm and am always looking to connect with other good PR professionals. I was wondering if you have any serious experience with crisis PR? I am looking for a really good person that I can work with on and ad hoc basis.
Any ideas on a neat place to host a dinner in your area for 50-100 people.
I guess that number of people puts us into the big-box ballroom hotel league, ugh.
I know cool places in LA but not in OC.
Thanks,
Paul Napolitano
What a surprise to get your message! And as a bonus I got to see a very nice photo of you too. Thanks for sending.
Kim Porrazzo told me about the site a couple of weeks ago. Even though I am not a woman, she thought it would be OK to join since I told her I really enjoy talking to women in business. Maybe it's because I have highly educated and ambitious older sisters and had an independent mother who didn't buy into gender sterotypes even though she was a child in the 1930s.
I did call your former office last year to say hello but they said you had moved on. You always struck me as a go-getter so I'm sure you're doing well and will continue to have much success.
Best always,
Paul
I would like to invite you to my network of friends and professionals. I own and operate a specialty gift shop in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. I am interested in networking with other professional women.

I don't think we've met yet, but I think the world of your Dad and he says you're "the best." Hope our paths cross sometime soon. Glad to see you on Kim's site.
