Four events to pass along as we all squeeze the most we can into the last part of summer...
1. The August technology networking event will be at Club Soda, on Wednesday, August 20, 5-7 p.m.. Club Soda is at 235 East Superior (park in the lot at the northeast corner of Clinton and Superior). If it's nice out, we'll be on their patio which is an EXCELLENT place to unwind after a hectic day. Find out what's up in Fort Wayne's IT world and take some time to meet someone new! No cover, no RSVP, bring a friend (or several), and join us.
2. Northeast Indiana Public Radio is having its BikeNic (bike ride and picnic - those radio folks sure are clever) on Saturday, August 23. It's 2 events in one: a) Free Rivergreenway bike ride, starting between 7 and 9 a.m. from Headwaters Park (downtown @ Clinton and Superior, more or less the same place as Club Soda). All bikers will be eligible for a drawing to win a bicycle from Summit City Bicycles! b) Picnic and live music from 11 am until 2 pm (whether you rode or not, but you'll be hungrier if you rode) at the pavilion at Headwaters Park West (west side of Clinton Street) - chicken dinner, live music, popcorn, frozen custard....you might say that it doesn't get any better than that! But wait, there's more: for the price of admission ($8-10 for adults and $4-5 for kids, depending on whether you're a public radio member) you also a commemorative t-shirt AND a wristband.
3. Downtown Block Party - Wednesday, August 27, 5-7:30 p.m. at the Barr Street Market (Barr Street between Wayne and Berry, next to the History Center). Free food (by Club Soda....which I guess is the theme of this e-mail), cash bar and music by PrimeTIME. We'll also have a Downtown Blueprint Open House so you can see information on various downtown projects that are going on.
4. Senator Bayh/WorkOne Center Job Fair/Small Business Fair on Monday, August 18 @ IPFW. The program will run 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Walb Student Union. Should be an interesting and productive day for people looking for information about starting a business or looking for a job.
Posted by Admin at August 6, 2003 05:21 PMHi Karen,
What will it take to have a larger "Hipanic Fiesta" here in Fort Wayne?
We know Mrs. Guerra has given her "all" these
past 20 years for United Hispanic Americans, and I believe that she really needs some help from the community.
There are many Hispanic Businesses croping up and I believe we may be able to give it a try.
You are doing a great job.
Jorge A. Garcia
Thanks, Jorge.
Saturday, September 6 is Fiesta Fort Wayne, from noon until 11 p.m. @ Headwaters Park. Check out more information at http://www.desotoconsulting.com/
Also, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a really good group to get involved with for networking and business development opportunities: http://www.fwhispanicchamber.com/
