UPCOMING MEETINGS AT THE END OF THIS EMAIL

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: CHANCE TO WIN A $40 TOSCANA GIFT CARD! We will be raffling off a gift card valued at $40 to Toscana at our next meeting. Tickets $5 each. One condition is that we must have at least 8 people to buy tickets to raffle it off. Of course, more is even better so we can have a little petty cash for the group. Chances to win are great odds for such a small investment. It's a win-win way to kick off the 4th quarter of meetings!

DETAILS & LOGISTICS: Please arrive between 11:45 and 12:15 to allow for networking and to place your lunch order.

ABOUT PARKING: Consider parking in the Marriot parking lot behind the Village Shoppes at Southpark. There is access to the Village courtyard to get to Toscana.

ABOUT LUNCH: There is no fee to attend the meeting, however, you are expected to purchase lunch. Toscana's is providing this room to ACAC at no charge under the condition that all parties in attendance purchase lunch. The bread and beans come with a lunch purchase and are not provided as a replacement for lunch.

After insightful introductions starting promptly at 12:20 p.m., we will spend around 10-15 minutes sharing updates and reinforcing latest developments with ACAC.

Did you gain a resource, form of support, or referral from a member that you would like to recognize?

Did you have a one-on-on with another member, and what most impressed you in what you learned?

Did you realize a big win or success you would like to share with the group?

Do you have a need for a particular resource or insight to request within the group?

Be ready to share and continue to get to know one another in our efforts to Build Trust!

Toscana is located in the Shoppes at Southpark in the courtyard behind Williams Sonoma. There is ample parking in front and beside Williams Sonoma.
ANOTHER OPTION FOR PARKING: Consider parking at the Marriott Southpark located behind the Specialty Shoppes at Southpark, with access into the courtyard. May be a good bet if you are running later into the networking time.

We are having consistent issues with no-shows and last minute cancellations. Please be considerate in keeping with the ACAC values and the efforts of the staff in set-up and planning at Toscana's.
