FREE Summer Gala Business Networking at Dolce Norwalk
Listen CT it has been a while since we have had an event in Fairfield County and the wait is over. We have been waiting for this opportunity for months and now we are there. Dolce Norwalk, if you haven't been there, you will see the premier conference center in the area. The event is being held outside on these beautiful grounds. We are inviting all Networking Groups in Fairfield County and beyond to attend this event so we have all the different networking groups to chose from for our business needs.
Here is what you can expect:
- FREE FOOD, always my favorite
- 200 Business owners, Entrepreneurs and Professionals attending. Let us know who you want to connect with.
- Music provided by Wilton Music Studio
- Cash bar
- Private setting
We are also requesting donations for one of our group members and friend, Janet Hansen. The financial challenge of cancer is overwhelming and NetworkingCT has taken on the responsibility to ease some of this burden. We are requesting any help at check-in to assist our friend and fellow business owner.
Also, any business that donates over $500 will get on full month of Social Media Marketing from Rapture Image which includes Facebook Fan Page, 200 fans added to Fan Page and Twitter account setup and/or posted tweets. Plus advertising on NetworkingCT for 3 months.
All businesses that donate $100 will get free advertising on NetworkingCT for one full month, $200 2 months, $300 advertising for 3 months.
If you know any other Business Networking Groups, let the leader of the group know they can have a few minutes to explain their group. Have them call Bob at [masked].
You must RSVP to attend this event.

Business cards? That's so 2000. Now we have the iPhone and Bump! Saves tons of trees and having to scan and type the data.

I belong to Several different Business Development or Networking groups. People in all of them were talking about this event. You did a great job of promoting it and It should be the event of the summer.

Great Meetup! I'm sure many people missed last night due to summer vacations, but a great idea for July-August months when business can be more quiet and we are looking for opportunities to network. Don't wait too long to have another one!

This was IT. Bob and Harrison have officially set the bar very high not only for any other groups in Fairfield County, but for the quality of business owners and entrepreneurs that are a part of NetworkingCT.

Bob TonneEvent HostCo-OrganizerThis was an amazing event. The venue was beautiful, the food was great and most of all there were hundreds of connections made. We also collected in donations just over $1,000 for Janet Hansen. Thanks to all who donated.
-
Harrison TonneEvent HostOrganizerEverything was awesome on our end. The people that attended were the BEST I have ever met at any networking event by far! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet everyone, maybe next time. Thanks to everyone for coming!
-
Angi Martin+2 guestsThe only negative was the lack of air conditioning. As the room grew in attendance, the hotter the room got. Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC and the food was great!
-
Gabby+1 guestGreat venue and crowd. Too many people to meet at once. Looking forward to another Gala Event.
-
elaine osowski+1 guestGreat meeting and it was very good to be able to have the opportunity to offer some support, warmth and caring to Janet. Thanks, Tonne Team!
-
MikeFANTASTIC venue! Too many people there did not know about the fundraising for Jan. That message did not get out ahead of time nor was it made obvious until the very end when she and Bob spoke.

Giselle LeonardWhat a GREAT event! As usual, it was a great success. The place (Dolce's) was outstanding, the food that was served was amazing (the desserts were to die for, I take that back, to LIVE for, specially that Mango mousse served on a spoon with the rasberry on top. Oh, and the passion fruit torte with the blueberries on top were great too!). I got to meet many new people, see some people that I aready new, made great connections! LOVED IT! And the best of all, were to know that people were coming together not just to network, but to help someone in need, Janet, who is fighting cancer! If you couldn't make it to this amazing event, but would still like to make a donation (tax deductable), please reach out to Bob Tonne!

DennisThe venue, presentation, and atmosphere were all excellent. For those of us who do not regularly attend networking functions it would have been beneficial to receive a printed outline of the various networking organizations present, the general format, and any other information to get the most out of the short (2-hour) event. Also, the nametags should have each attendee's industry or specialty beneath the person's name. With over 200 attendees, many of whom arrived late for a 2-hour event, knowing who to target would have been quite beneficial. I felt like the event was over and many opportunities were left unexplored. I applaud Bob and Harrison for their efforts, and for including the fundraising aspect to benefit Jan Hansen. I look forward to future events.

Robert L FriedmanWonderful, great, superlative except for the lack of air conditioning. But hey I lost 5lbs standing there so it worked out okay. See you soon. Great job.

Jane ShellyThe venue was fabulous as was the food. Bob and Harrison did an outstanding job of getting a huge gathering of folks together for a really fun and productive event. I especially like the fact that NetworkingCT has a keen social conscious and looks to support people and organizations in need of help.
-
SharonI enjoyed meeting new people and chatting! It was busy, though. I apologize to anyone I got distracted from - any business cards I didn't get the chance to take or reciprocate, etc.

Peter FlierlA hidden treasure in back country Norwalk. An absolutely beautiful location and a great crowd. Met several interesting people and perhaps found some folks to share business with. Also got advice for my daughter on buying her first home in L.A. Congrats to Bob Tonne and the entire organization on an outstanding evening. Hard to break away!
