We had to make a change to the previously posted event for the Vancouver Business, Marketing and Entrepreneur meetup, as our original venue isn't available, so I decided to make this into another....Wine & Cheese Networking Mixer, still keeping with the theme of hyper-local networking and referrals.
This will be our third Wine & Cheese Mixer since 2009 and I'm looking forward to it as everyone loves attending these. Nothing like networking in a casual setting, amongst friends and learning something new.
>> for more details and to RSVP, please go here http://bit.ly/wDP1wn
We're keeping the cost low, at $5 per person to pay for the venue and for the wine and cheese, but if you are able to donate some wine to us, we would greatly appreciate it. Please email me directly to let me know if you can.
What will happen on Thursday, March 15th evening is:
Doors open at 6:15pm
We will have 7 businesses pitch themselves to the room at 6:50pm
George Moen (formerly of Blenz, now Rapid Time Networks) will talk about hyper-local networking and referrals at 7:10pm
Then more networking and getting to know each other.
Please RSVP on this event ASAP so we can guestimate how much wine and cheese to purchase.

This coming Thursday, February 23rd, we will be rolling out a new way for us all purchase our breakfast. Here it goes:
As before we will have the two normal breakfast options, the $7.50 or the $9.50 deal, plus tax. The $7.50 keeps to be the minimum purchase in support of our venue hosts. The only thing that changes is that there will be two places for us to pay for our breakfast depending on what we'd like to have:
For the $7.50 option, with regular coffee or your choice of teas:
If you want the $7.50 deal ($8.50 incl. HST) with a regular coffee or your choice of tea, please go directly upstairs where Bonnie, our first volunteer cashier, will take your cash and will hand you a cup for your beverage. Coffee, a selection of teas and breakfast items will be set up in the meeting area. Receipts will also be available for you when you check in with Bonnie. Once you’ve paid for your breakfast you may go in and grab your seat and breakfast.
For everything else, e.g. the $7.50 breakfast with specialty coffees/teas, the $9.50 deal, or if you wish to pay with your credit card:
Please go directly to the counter downstairs where you will be ordering and receiving your breakfast. Once you have your breakfast in your hands, please come upstairs to our meeting area and join the crowd.
With this new process we hope for a smoother and faster process of purchasing breakfast and for the meeting to start in a timely fashion, which translates in to more time for networking afterwards!!!
Doors to the Buzz open at 7:00am, the meeting will start at 7:15am.
Please note: It will no longer be possible for attendees to first go upstairs, grab a seat and then go back down to purchase breakfast. Buying breakfast will be the first thing we all do, and then we will be granted access to the meeting space.
I'm sure this new process will work out great once we're all used to it. Please bare with us as we iron out any potential small glitches that might pop up - and pleeeease do remember to educate your guests how HOBN Yaletown works. Thank you!
Thanks so much to Marilyn and Bonnie, our first two volunteers as greeter and cashier. Are you interested in helping us out as a volunteer once in a while? Let Neil or myself know and we'll gladly sign you up. It's a great way for you to stand out of the crowd and distinguish yourself as a leader in our HOBN community.
As always, we look forward to yet another energizing and mutually successful HOBN Yaletown meeting! Oh, if you haven't signed up yet, here's the link for you: http://hobnonline.com/meetings/yaletown_2012-02-23

AWESOME. I hope you got to check out the space and situation downstairs and the hotel restaurant called THE LOBBY.
That is the meeting room I was talking about and not one upstairs. They have a lunch room area that is perfect for HOBN and serves breakfast there and I think it is free if we reserve it. I have met some of the management and inquired about it for other functions. If we get it reserved, maybe the price barrier is keep breakfast and tea with gratuity included up to $17 (what we pay for English Bay). But if they just do a mandatory 15% gratuity on everyone attending and minimum muffin and coffee, they might just let us be regulars.
There are other coffee venues that can be like the BUZZ cafe. One in particular is The Cafe for Contemporary Art across of the Pinnace Hotel may not have enough chairs but if they do, we can possibly meet in the gallery area (like Buzz cafe).
Another venue without paying for room rental might be the Chesire Cheese at the QUAY. They serve breakfast. Not sure about their hours.10 months ago -
