My BNI (Business Networking International) chapter is having a Visitors' Day on Thursday January 31st. We meet from 11:45 to 1:30 in downtown San Francisco near Powell BART.

If you'd like to come and check it out and meet people from lots of different professions who can help you grow your business, please let me know. The way BNI works is that once you're in, we only allow one person from each profession to join a chapter. It's a great way for small business owners to network.

Here are some of the professions we're looking for (but it's not limited to this list):
Nutritionist
Personal trainer
Yoga instructor
Pilates instructor
Web Designer
Portrait Photographer
Merchant Services
Business broker
Estate planning attorney
Printer
Family and Immigration attorneys
Caterer/event coordinator
Organizer
Public relations
Sales trainer
Personnel agency
Virtual assistant
Personal Chef
Esthetician/Skin Care
Landscape designer
Landlord-tenant lawyer
Equipment leasing
Property manager
Event planners
Office/home moving

If you know of anyone you think might be interested, please let me know. Send me your email addy in the comments and I'll send you an invitation (all comments will be screened). The lunch fee is $25.

Thanks!
