ATTENTION
Here's where we meet, to talk, eat and network!!

Where is this place you find yourself asking?

Well, we meet at Willie Bird's Restaurant at 1150 South Santa Rosa Ave. We meet on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 am until 8:30 am.

Parking is easy as there are parking spaces on both sides and the back of the restaurant.

We will have access to a closed meeting room, where we will actually be able to hear each other talk.

Things We Like

The Elections Are Over...We Have Leadership!

On April 7th, the membership of the Santa Rosa Breakfast Club held elections for new officers, for the next 6 month term. After much political infighting and cajolery, a slate of nominees was developed. Through the electoral process we managed to bring (drag) four individuals into office.

The SRBC congratulates Cam Turner, President; Debbie Wallace, Vice President; Carroll Hudson, Treasurer and Ed Berland, Secretary/Webmaster.

We know that these individuals will do an outstanding job, running the SRBC and building the Club in the future months.

Want to Be a Featured Member of the SRBC?

Now's the time to think about becoming a featured member of the SRBC. How do you do that? Easy! Take a look at the Featured Members page, then write something about yourself. Have someone take a picture of you. Then, submit what you've got to the Club secretary. He'll make sure the webmaster puts it up on the website. Don't worry about length, or writing style as we can edit for you, if necessary. We'll also create a link to your business or service website...free advertising for you.

It's just that simple!

Don't Tax Yourself...Make the SRBC Work for You...

The SRBC is your networking and leads lifeline in these trying times. So, make the SRBC work for you. The way to do that, of course, is to show up for meetings. If you don't show up, you miss the possibility of networking with your fellow members and the potential of new business leads.

By being a member of the SRBC, you can reach across the table and develop business relationships with your fellow members. Developing relationships ultimately develops trust. Trust implies confidence, that makes recommending your fellow members' business or service that much easier. That's the way to make the SRBC work for you. Develop those business relationships and the referrals and leads will come.

So, if you've been reticent about showing up for our meetings, cast your indecision aside. You'll have an opportunity to meet new business owners and representatives, find out about what services or products they offer and maybe end up with a little business yourself. Of course, this will only happen if you come on Tuesday mornings to Willie Bird's Restaurant, 1150 Santa Rosa Ave., at 7:30am.

We're Still Looking for Some New Members

To borrow a phrase, we're looking for a few good men and women of the same ilk to join us for breakfast on Tuesday mornings. The purpose is to network, share views and enjoy the meeting of new people from all business persuasions.

To entice you into joining us, we've come up with some nifty benefits. We intend to provide a Preferred Services Provider Directory, increased web exposure of your business or profession through our website and member directory, an informative newsletter, featured member of the month and of course, the opportunity for social networking. Pretty good deal, eh?

So, now's the time to "volunteer"....and begin your membership in the Santa Rosa Breakfast Club!

It's inexpensive...only $120.00 a year, or two payments of $60 each, bi-annually, plus the $20.00 initiation fee (we do understand that times are tough). The benefits have been mentioned before, but you'll have to join to make full use of them.

We'll look forward to seeing you on Tuesday morning at 7:30am, at Willie Bird's on Santa Rosa Ave.

Cheers!
