GUESTS: We welcomed three guests this week:  1. Electa Mary Huber, Fine and Commercial Artist; 2. Ann Mau, Personal Injury Attorney; and 3. Peter Brizick of Carousel Toyota & Scion.

SPEAKERS:  Susan Dykas of eBernie, Inc. (Computer and I.T. Consulting) and Martin Ritter (General Contracting and Historical Preservation)

1st Speaker:  Susan’s presentation focused on the role of a Network Server within a small to mid-sized business’ I.T. environment. A server is a type of computer designed to process requests and deliver data to other computers over a local or wide area network, or the internet. Servers are configured with additional processing, memory and storage capacity. They offer high reliability, security, and centralized data storage and backup. A good lead is a company with 5 or more employees.

2^nd Speaker:  Martin is our only General Contractor, Custom and Historical Preservation specialist. Common across all his projects is Martin’s ability to problem solve and communicate to his clients. He also works directly with architects, engineers and designers to get the job done – artfully yet efficiently. A good lead is a proactive customer with a historical renovation or repair -- or a highly detailed, home restoration project or addition.

TIPS: At this week’s meeting we circulated 11 tips total! (3 inside and 8 outside tips).
