You saved
my life.”

Speed Networking for
Busy Business Women returns Aug. 5
Mark your calendars
NOW for the next Speed Networking for Busy Business Women event
scheduled from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5, at the Durango
Recreation Center.
This fun-filled event is a fast-paced
exercise that allows participants to exchange business information with
about 12 other women during a series of four-minute conversations in a
round-robin format. It's a lot like speed dating -- only better --
because you get to meet other business women and perhaps establish a
business relationship with those you meet. Read more here .
