- 9:30 pm Approximate – Raffle 2 Amex Gift Cards – You must be there
to win

The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do
the "speed dating" again on the 19th before we sit down for dinner and the
general introductions. Briefly, these informal "dates" consist of up to 4
people and last for 5 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the
groups break up and new ones are formed with different participants.
Suggested dialogues for your "speed dating" encounters will be provided at
the registration desk in case you are at a loss for what to say during these
conversations.

There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 75 copies of your resume,
personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout for each
participant from the dinner.

The cost will be $30 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John
Sampson by COB Friday, October 1st at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470.
Checks should be made out to John Sampson who can be reached by phone at
973-248-3251 or via email at jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be
made by contacting Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net but checks
must be sent directly to John.

An initial list of attendees will be emailed to all the RSVPs, members of
MNA, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Ntwkg,
IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties over the weekend of October
16/17th. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the October 19th
meeting and can be used to communicate with attendees in advance or after
the dinner meeting. For those attendees who are working, current work
affiliation, email address, three previous companies you've worked
for/consulted at, professional job interest or position availability must be
included in your RSVP.

For those attendees who are in transition, three target companies should be
included in your RSVP as well as the type of position you seek.

A "final" numbered RSVP list of attendees will be available along with the
pre-published questions and an ID badge at the registration desk on the
19th. Your number on the final RSVP list should be part of your
introduction: "I'm number x on the RSVP list …". All attendees should have
their sharp, crisp, 30 second elevator speech at the ready. Too many "ahs,
dees and doeses" will be cut off unceremoniously. Remember, you and your
introduction will be between the rest of the attendees and dinner!

A final RSVP list of the actual attendees will be emailed to everyone who
participated by October 23rd.

The cost of the dinner will be $45 for everyone after COB on Friday, October
1st and before COB on the 18th. We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins
on the 19th. Anyone who attends on the 19th and whose check has not been
received by COB on the 18th will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There
will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.

Again, bring 75 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to
be included in the handout the evening of October 19th.

Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found
at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj. Expect substantial traffic congestion on
Rt 46 at rush hour. Attendees should allow an extra half hour to arrive at
the Holiday Inn on time for the event.

Dues are due for MNA Members.

If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 19th, volunteer to be a
"Meeting Marshall". Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can
use your help!!!

Please join us for what is always a well attended evening of lively
discussion, great networking opportunities, and a chance to just catch up.
