I recently watched a television show called "Made", which transforms people and helps them achieve their dreams.  It made me think about holding a contest called "Made on the Eastside" where the winner is made "famous" on the Eastside through our different ways of reaching people:  Eastside Business and Eastside Life newspapers and news sites, Eastside Business Weekly e-newsletter, and the Eastside Entrepreneurs Social Network.

Do you have any suggestions about how such a contest should be held?  Should it be by entry, nomination, competition, ???  Should it be dependent on how much a company or person does in the community?  If they are supporters of what we do?  I'd love to hear your input.

 

Quick update on Eastside Entrepreneurs - we now have over 265 members in 5 weeks.  Our Net-Fest Party at The Village Bellevue was attended by about 100 people and was a lot of fun.  Hope to have pictures soon.

Join me over at the Eastside Entrepreneurs Online Social Network.  Connect with other local entrepreneurs and small to mid-sized business and be the first to find out about our events (including November 12th at The Village Bellevue).

 

We’re having an Eastside Entrepreneurs Connecting Party on the 9th floor of the Key Bank Building, formerly the home of Spazzo and Benjamins, currently the location of the Bellevue Towers Showroom.  It’s happening from 5-9pm. FREE party and everyone is welcome (up to 100 people).

Sierra Nevada is providing some fine ale and I’m actively recruiting more partners and sponsors.  Especially looking for one or two wineries to pour their wine, a restaurant or caterer to provide some food, and someone to provide some non-alcoholic refreshments as well.  Volunteers are definitely needed and appreciated, as we won’t be able to lean on Amy and Colleen at The Village for this one.

Here is the link for the event - if you want an invite send me an email.  Thanks - I hope to see you there.

You are invited to the Eastside Entrepreneurs Net-Fest at The Village Bellevue on November 12th.

I also hope to be able to announce another fun party in the next 24 hours that will be happening next week.  Please stay tuned and check back at Eastside Entrepreneurs for details.

While I'm putting together / revamping the websites both here at JoeKennedy.biz and Eastside Entrepreneurs, I decided to start a side blog called The World of Joe.  Apparently almost 1200 pages were read there today, but I honestly have no idea how the readers found it - it is a new (sub) domain ..
