The Jewish Business Network meeting on Tuesday, December 6, will be a special “get to know you” session. “We do this every four months to give members a chance to get to know one another better,” explained Jerry Wilk, coordinator of JBN. “Instead of a guest speaker, we will spend between two and three minutes (depending on attendance), for self introductions. Each attendee can then take more time to tell us more about who he or she is and what he or she does.”
The group meets every month on the first Tuesday at noon, at the Samueli Jewish Campus in Irvine. It is a very friendly, informal forum where business and professional people can network with and meet others in the Orange County Jewish Community. The group helps people to promote their business and make referrals to other members, to learn important information and to make new friends.
The cost is $18 for a kosher lunch from Blueberry Hill Catering. There is a special discounted annual membership rate, with associated benefits. Reservations are a must by the prior Monday at 10 a.m. Register on www.meetup.com (search jewish business network, in Orange County, to register) or at (949) 250-9990 or at jwwilk@cox.net.
