Attendance will be limited to about 100, so first come - first serve. To register, send an e-mail to Lweaver@wcgrp.com and provide: 1. Your name 2. Company or occupation, and 3. Preferred e-mail address for the attendance handout. A $5 donation to St Peter's (at the door) - all of which will go to St. Peter's - would be appreciated. St. Peter's does such good work. It is a jewel in the heart of the City! Schedule for the Evening: Doors Open 5:00 Open Networking and Start Eating! 5:00 - 5:30 First Early Bird Round of Networking 5:30 - 5:45 Fr. Peter's Talk & Questions 5:45 - 6:15 Second Round of Networking 6:15 - 6:30 Third Round of Networking 6:35 - 6:50 Dismissal & Goodbyes 6:50 - 7:00 We realize that not everyone can get out of the office at 5:00 and some have to catch a train home before 7:00. This schedule allows you to be flexible and join us for the whole evening or as many rounds of networking as suits your schedule! Try to get there before 5:30 so you can get some fabulous food before the formal networking starts. Optional: Bring a Catholic Book - Take a Catholic Book!!! It occurred to me that I have duplicate copies of many great Catholic books on my shelves. You may have duplicates or have one you have already read but think someone else might enjoy. If you want, bring a book that night and let's swap! Bring a book and then take one home at the end of the evening! BONUS!!!! Food will be provided by an awesome new organic catering venture, headed by a former Alinea chef: Range Kitchen I love their website and figured it was perfect for Catholics. It states: NO GUILT!!!!! Perfect for fun Catholics!!!! Here is the Range Kitchen menu for the evening: Organic Taco “Cart” Chorizo-Style Beef, Adobo Chicken, Griddled Chicken Refried Black Beans, Spanish Rice Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa, Lime Sour Cream Fondue Station House Blend of Melted Organic Cheeses Toasted Bread & Raw Vegetables for Dipping Mediterranean Mezze Platter Hummus, Tabbouleh, & Baba Ganoush Pickled Vegetables Fruit Chutney & Toasted Flatbread Organic Raw Vegetable Platter Fresh Seasonal Vegetables Range Sauce “Dip” “Snack Cart” Chips, Pretzels, Popcorn, Assorted Crisps HOPE TO SEE YOU ON FEBRUARY 9! Spread the Word! (Get it???... the "Word"....Ha!) (I don't know about you, but now is a good time for moment of reflection - halfway between my New Year's Resolution and the beginning of Lent...) |

| Update 2/15/2017 on our One Ultimate Network Gathering at St. Peter's in the Loop on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2017 It was awesome! We had a great and inspiring speaker (Fr. Peter Wojcik), great food (Range Kitchen) and a bunch of really excited and exciting Catholics (see photos below). We shared our faith, had some fun, and made new friends as well as some vital connections. Thanks to our great Welcoming Committee (bios below) and everyone else who helped make this a success by spreading the Word!
