An early start to the day - but well worth it
I started the morning with a Carmel Chamber networking breakfast. It was hosted by Kiss Z Cook - amazing food!! Kiss Z Cook is located at 116th and Guilford and they give cooking classes - how fun. You can sign up for a series of classes and learn some great ways of cooking. The manager said that more than half of those in classes are men, isn't that interesting?

Some of the other people that I met:

I met two different movers. Hogan Transfer, which use to be Mayflower. They have a system called SAM in which they bring a very large container to you and you can fill it up at your leisure then they can either store the container or move it to your new location where you can unload it at your leisure, sounds convenient, more info at http://www.hotanmoving.com. The other moving company was Two Men and A Truck - love that name. They are now expanding into commercial moving and have moved their location to Fishers - check them out at www.twomenandatruck.com.

I met two hair designers. Leslie from Bekah's which is located at 12545 Old Meridian Street and Mindy from Fine Lines located at 811 West Main Street. Both very nice ladies, sorry no websites to give you.

Joseph Lesczynski was there from the Fountains which is a banquet and conference center at 502 East Carmel Drive. He said that they are redecorating parts of the facility, that will be pretty to see, more info at www.fountainscatering.com.

United Way had a representative there Lisa Davidhizar. She shared with us some of the great things that they are doing. One thing that I thought was very giving is they have volunteers that go into the public school system and help students with their reading. If children can't read by the time they are in fourth grade they have a greater percentage of not graduating from high school. There are many other organizations that they help to see visit www.uwci.org.

I met Travis Neal from Sign A Rama they can make any type of sign that you need from business cards on up. Jim was there from the Mystery Company, which is a book store that specializes in mystery books, they have a lot of fun reading events, and he said a study shows that those who actively read are happier and easier to work with - that' interesting. Chris Barnthouse was also there from Northwestern Mutual, he was also making sure that everyone knew about the upcoming play for Carmel High School - 42nd Street on May 8, 9, and 10 at 7:30 and 10 and 11 at 2:00, tickets start at $8, so mark your calendar.

Then my friend Terri Nix was also there from The Basket Case, they do all kinds of gift baskets - really great gift baskets!! She will be at the Indianapolis Baby Fair coming up - so if you are going to that make sure to stop by and see her.

Hey, did you notice how I figures out how to put the link in without having to type the actually web address - see I can learn new things.
