<p class="MsoNormal">What an amazing evening.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last night, close to thirty networkers came together to launch Gotham’s newest group, Long Island Dinner. We knew we were in for a great evening of networking when the room was full before the meeting was even scheduled to start. There
was a palpable excitement which fit right in with the Gotham spirit of promoting great business and relationships.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kudos to Ben Geizhals and Laurel Scarr-Konel, co-chairs of our newest group! And, special thank you to Norman Spizz for all of his work in getting the logistics taken care of and to Rona Gura for her work in getting this group off the
ground. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, a double special thank you to our guest speaker, Legislator Josh Lafazan, who was recently elected to the Nassau County Legislature at the age of 23 (or as he corrected us yesterday, 24 since he just had a birthday). His perspectives
were really interesting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will definitely want to put the next meeting of this group on your calendar (March 20).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope to see you there.<o:p></o:p></p>
