Cheryl Whitney of The Lava Bistro has invited our group to her restaurant for a complimentary networking luncheon. Located conveniently in the University Area the Lava Bistro & Bar sets the standard for casual, upscale dining.

The Bistro is perfect for intimate dining, quick lunches, and large or small parties. We now have a great Sunday brunch buffet you are sure to love. We have four private dining rooms available that will accommodate most any event. Our outdoor patio with a great view of the lake makes for an unforgettable experience.

    Looking back over this event, I noticed that 5 people did not attend. I am a bit disappointed in this since there were a handful of group members that were wait listed.

Who attended?

    •  This was a great meeting....we were able to brainstorm about solutions for common concerns such as how to get more traffic on our web site, how to do effective advertising without breaking the bank, how and where to find clients. It's empowering to meet others who are running successful small businesses. AND Cheryl was a great hostess for the event and lunch was fabulous!

       Great choice of location for this meeting. First experience at the Lava Bistro, but it won't be the last!! Will highly recommend this venue for Bridal luncheons and Rehearsal dinners. The presentation on logos, branding, and website developement was highly informative and well presented. Great Job all around!! 
    •  Love the meeting, the tour of the restaurant was very informative, it's a beautiful place. The presentation by Angie was wonderful, lots of good ideas and thoughts dealing with advertising. It was very nice to meet everyone and I enjoyed hearing about services that everyone provides so I have references for those that may require them. Thanks Laura for setting all this up. 
    •  Great food, pretty ambiance, nice scenery. Informative talk by Angie Courtnet on graphic design.
