Thursday night we had our first event. We had great turn-out, around 35-40 people in our own back room at the Bubble Lounge in San Francisco.
I had to give a speech--usually these things don't really make me nervous, but for some reason, the smaller crowd of peers instead of 'adults' made me a lil' nervous. To top it all off, I didn't have a chance to print out the speech before getting there since I was going to do it on the way, and, as I went to grab my car to drive to kinko's, it wasn't there! Good work Aly, way to get your car towed....
So needless to say I was a little frazzled at the start of the evening. But, in the end, I think it went really well--people seemed pretty moved by the speech (to toot my own horn)-and I even made people laugh once or twice!
So off we go on the way to successfully creating a Professional's Network dedicated to raising money for Cystic Fibrosis.
Here are some pics from the night (apparently my photography skills have gone downhill since I started writing emails for a living):
