Bells and Whistles

Gotham is a Business-Social Networking group. Or is it a Social-Business Networking group?

Which ever it is it sure has a lot of value added Bells and Whistles in its 18th year. 

We start with our World Class Fredslist "Magic Wand" list serve which has proven its amazing ability to conjure up just about anything needed or requested.

The magic continues with our special thematic list serves covering politics, sports, flicks, music, self serving promotions, left handedness, softball (we have 2 teams: the Bombers and Batmen which just won its first Championship) and our Gotham Book Club. 

Our special events range from our Battle of the Bands, Highline tours, Wine and Chocolate tastings, Film Festival, GOtham Green Awards, Karaoke, Bob Formica Golf Outing, Spring and Winter Cocktail parties and last week's free picnic.

We also support the Gotham Foundation through our Season of Giving initiative. Last year we gave out four $5500 grants at our Holiday party at our home base venue Friars Club and we are endeavoring to do so again.

What's more, we are just getting started and are open to almost any suggestions (with an important caveat).

Did I forget anything and how can we do better?

Glad to be part of it - the relationships matter most!

A word to the wise, any suggestion made gets "owned" by the proposer so only offer what you plan to carry out.....
You ought to amend your message to include the mentoring program (and when I see it I'll amend my comment), and, though often informal, important to note all the informal mentoring, advice, sharing of information that helps one get ahead a bit more.

I forgot our mantra "It's better to give than receive, but what goes around comes around" and our peer Mentoring Program.

It's NOT better to give than receive, both are exactly the same.
In fact, theres no such thing as "better."
What goes around does come around, thats just physics.

There is no doubt that Gotham is an opportunity for growth in every way: spiritual, fiscal, mental, etc. By engaging with the tribe, you find out who you really are and that is the greatest gift of all.

Whats with all the anonymous comments?

You are one of the most valuable secrets of Gotham, Dana!

This blog. I cant tell you how much I look forward to Fridays with Fred. The topics are so true to my heart. Thought provoking to say the least and a license to " drink scotch whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel" ....Corey will know the lyric. Proud of you my brother Fred. The quintessential "mench."
