West Seattle Nooners: New WSB sponsors hope to meet you Thursday

Today we welcome a new WSB sponsor, with this message for you: The West Seattle Nooners is a chapter of Business Networking International Northwest and we are looking for members to expand our referral network. We build business one lunch at a time!

The mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional “word-of-mouth” program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals. The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of “Givers Gain®”: By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of “What goes around, comes
around.” Our Chapter passed $243,368 in the past 12 months!

Join us this Thursday (May 17th) at 12 pm for our Membership Extravaganza, and be prepared to network!

Come to Youngstown Cultural Arts Center at 4408 Delridge Way SW in West Seattle with 50 business cards, $10, and a desire to grow your referrals. Discover how BNI business networking groups work, and meet the members of the West Seattle Nooners chapter. Everyone will have the opportunity to network as well as to present their business for 30 seconds during the meeting. Lunch is included.

After the meeting, members will be on hand to answer questions and help you if you choose to apply to become a member of our chapter. We are looking for new members to give referrals to in many professions still available! BNI is non-competitive, so only one member per profession is allowed, so grab yours before it’s gone.

We have openings for key professions including electrician, plumber, credit card processor, graphic artist, event planner, caterer, business coach, moving company, interior designer, locksmith, florist, landscape designer, property manager, computer repair, housecleaning, and many others. New members would be joining our current network which includes real estate, mortgage brokerage, photography, banking, web design and social media management, supplemental insurance, pet daycare, financial planning, personal training, general contracting and much more. To see a complete list of our members, go here.

If you can’t attend our extravaganza, we meet each Thursday at 12 pm at Youngstown and visitors are welcome. You can contact President Rick Beaubelle (206-957-9097; info@seattlecanineclub.net) or Vice-President Cami MacNamara (206-550-7720; cami@webcami.com) if you have any questions about the West Seattle Nooners.

We thank West Seattle Nooners for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.

    I support WSB AND WSB sponsors!! I SUPPORT BNI and this group’s efforts. I get the mission but . . .
    Who approved this name and image?!?!?
    Please consider it may be sending the wrong message.
    (I can’t be the only one who see’s it.)

    I didn’t see it first, but now I do!

  • Hmmm May 14, 2012 (9:14 pm)

    LOL, I totally agree @shed22. The name of the group is also slang related to what you’re implying :-)

    It’s obvious the term they chose was because of meeting at lunchtime,(get it? Noon?) You make it sound the salacious ‘other’ way only because you point it out. Don’t make things harder for a business that is trying to enterprise and help other small businesses. So sophomoric. I hope their plan expands, despite folks wanting a name change.(outta the gutter people!) Good Luck Nooners!

    The pun is obviously intentional: “straight up???”

  • Velo_nut May 15, 2012 (8:22 am)

    I’ll go unless something comes up. *snicker*

    Somebody thought double entendres look professional and businesslike? They don’t. KD thinks the readers who see the double entendres are sophomoric? No, it was the professionals who selected the logo and name that appear to have had a sophomoric sense of humor.
    .
    Maybe it works for them, but it’s not what everyone associates with professionalism.

    LOL, I see the logo is now different! A great way to get some initial buzz!

Sorry, comment time is over.
