Florida Young Professionals

Inaugural Orlando Magic Outing

 Saturday, April 7, 2007

Memphis Grizzlies vs Orlando Magic

As young professionals, we strive for professional, civic and social development. This event will serve us well, providing an excellent opportunity to meet fellow young professionals from across the state.

Prior to the game, the Magic will host a reception for us at the Amway Arena. During this event, we will hear from popular speaker and author Pat Williams of the Magic (www.patwilliamsmotivate.com) and John Michael De Marco (www.johnmdemarco.com), chairman of Young Professionals of Brevard. 

The schedule of events is as follows:

• 5 p.m. - Reception at Amway Arena

• 5:30 p.m. - Pat Williams

• 6 p.m. - John Michael De Marco

• 6:30 p.m. - Continue networking with other Florida young professionals

• 7 p.m. - GAME TIME! See one of the NBA’s best teams in action!

•  

The game should conclude around 9 p.m.  Afterwards, feel free to go out on the town and take advantage of the many amenities that Orlando has to offer. 
Discounted game tickets are $46 for lower bowl seats and $20 for upper bowl seats. If you would like to stay overnight in Orlando, the Orlando Marriott Downtown is located directly across the street from Amway Arena and very accessible to downtown. Rates are currently $129 per night, plus tax.  This rate is for quad occupancy or less.  For reservations, call 1-800-574-3160.  Ask for the young professionals rate.

Saturn of Fort Myers on Fowler, between Colonial & Winkler  939-7474

See agenda here:  http://www.ypfl.com/Meetings.htm

• Networking - 6pm - 7pm
• Meeting - 7pm - 7:45pm

• Meet new friends and clients
• Find out how to get more involved in the community
• Proof your information in the new Membership Directory
• Find out more about upcoming events such as:
  • Paintball & SkyDiving
  • Business After Hours - including how to host an event and availability
  • Thirsty Thursdays
  • Wine Tastings
  • Charity Events and Volunteering
  • And new event ideas

Finally, the beginning of Happy Hours on Thursdays!  You asked for it.  Many of you have mentioned that on Wednesdays, you have softball, you have your children, or you have some other commitment.  To accommodate you, and allow you to attend the Naples Chapter's Monthly Meetings, the Networking Happy Hours have been moved to Thursdays and renamed to match our sister chapter's events, Thirsty Thursdays.

Feb 3rd from 5:30 to 8:30 at Bonefish Grill on the NE corner of US41 and Andrea Lane (between Gladiolus/Six Mile Cypress & Daniels) in Fort Myers. The manager has us on their calendar. His only concern is that they get crowded quickly in season. So, it might be a repeat from Stonewood this month... but at least that will force us to get "together".

For questions, or greeting positions, call the event organizer, Danielle Yates, here.

6pm

6:30pm-9pm

Joint Naples/Fort Myers Chapter Event
http://www.ypfla.com/Naples/Events.htm  

A fun, cozy wine tasting at Bob Goodman's home.  The YP Wine Club was formed for the purpose of taking the fun of the Blu Pepper wine tastings into a more YP environment.  Approximately once per month one of the YP members hosts a wine tasting at his or her home.  The host picks a theme (such as Merlot from $10 - $20) and each person (or couple) brings their favorite bottle within that theme.  Also each person brings $5 for the pot.  Everyone votes on the wine and the winner gets the pot.  Although the pot isn't much money, it makes it more fun (and competitive).

This tasting is at Bob Goodman's home.

The theme is: Cabernet's

NEW DIRECTIONS:

Since we’ve not invited the Cape Coral City Water Department to the wine tasting, they’ve decided to unearth the paths that lead to the house.  The house is still at the same address, but the roads leading to it have morphed into a rubble and sand.  Kinda looks like Bagdad in the right light.  Anyway, if you can forward the directions below to anyone you can remember that have RSVP’d, I’d greatly appreciate it.

If coming from Cape Coral Parkway toward Chiquita Blvd, go RIGHT on Chiquita. 
Then look for SW 43^rd St and take it LEFT.
Take the first LEFT onto SW 16^th Place,
Then first RIGHT onto SW 43^rd Terrace. 
Ok, take a breath, you’re almost there…..
This turns left about a block down and becomes SW 18^th Ave which leads you to SW 44^th St.
The house will be on the right.

We’ll put some balloons in the yard or start a fire and do smoke signals or something to get your attention. 

You’ll also be greeted at the door with a tablet of Dramamine (Extra Strength-Non Drowsy Formula

Yes, we still attend the wine tastings the second Wednesday of the month at Blu Pepper on College & US41 in Fort Myers.  See "Monthly Events" below for details.

DETAILS:  Despite what was noted on the front page of the "Business & Money" section of the News Press today (Thurs, Jan 22nd), this is not a typical "meeting."  There won't be any sitting down, or being quiet, or any listing to boring speeches. 

The Kick-Off is more of a business networking event / party.  You can arrive any time between 5:30pm and 8:30pm, and of course, leave when you wish.  Many of us we'll be there until at least 10pm.

Come, meet some new people, and find out about the group and about upcoming events.

HISTORY & REASON FOR KICK-OFF: The group was originally one 500+ organization that has grown exponentially since its creation in March of 2002.  As a result of the wide geographical area in which members live, we recently broke the original group up into four chapters.  The Naples Chapter launched on November 21st, with a turnout of approximately 200 people.  Since that time, they have consistently had turnouts of 50 - 100 people.

Believe it or not, the Naples group is the smaller of the two.  Of the original group, approximately 70% is from the Lee County area.  As a result, we are expecting at least 400 young professionals at this event.

The purpose of the Kick-Off is celebrate the Chapter's launch.  However, the main point of the networking event, is to meet new friends and clients, and to make sure all potential and new members feel welcome.  There will be more than 10 greeters, including:

Jeremy Sposato, Club 1527
Eddie Sheridan, Eddie Fishbowls
Jeff Tellin, Beasely Broadcasting
Dave Roberts, FOX4 News
Jimmy Roncinske, Special Secret Agent Undercover  :)

Each person please bring $5/person, AND each couple please bring your favourite bottle (i.e. one bottle/couple) of red wine.  The next wine tasting following this will be a tasting of whites.  After that we will separate out into Merlot's, Cabernet's, Zinfandel's, etc. and move the wine tastings around from one member's home to another.  We are open for where to hold the next wine tasting (December or January).

The money goes to cover the hors 'oeuvres.  The money left over will go into a pot.  Based on the tasters in attendance, the pot will go to the person who brought the bottle the tasters voted the best.

There has been a great response on this one. 

Directions:

Take Six Mile Cypress North from Daniels Parkway to Penzance
When you hit the Slough Preserve take a LEFT onto Penzanze (rather than a right).
Follow the road to the end and around to the Right onto Ranchette.
Take Ranchette all the way North until it turns.  Instead of turning, continue STRAIGHT (onto Highland) until you hit the trees.
Although there is no sign, when you hit the trees, you're at Dabney Street.  Make a RIGHT onto Dabney.
We're the third house on the RIGHT, 6840

Bell Tower 20 Theatres in Fort Myers

A group of IT Lunch and YP members are getting together to watch the movie at the Bell Tower 20.  It is running about 25 times today.  We have chosen the 7:15pm movie.

To make this movie, you will probably need to buy your tickets early.  Many of us have gone to www.fandango.com to buy them. 
We plan on getting there at least an hour early to pick up the tickets.  Most of us are heading to the Bell Tower around 5:30pm or 6 to pick up the tickets.  We’ll be at Friday’s, across the street, for drinks and a little bite, and then off to the movie , early (like 6:30 or so) to get a seat.

Please feel free to join us.  My new mobile number is 826-2594.  You can reach me there until the movie starts.  Don’t forget to turn off your cell phones in the theatre.

See you tonight!
