FIRST MONDAYS JANUARY RECAP
BY CARY WALDMAN
First Mondays held its quarterly networking gathering on January 9th at the Palour Pub on 86th street in Manhattan, bringing in the New Year with a lot of cheer.
Over 100 members, old and new, came together to start 2012 with the same vibrant enthusiasm that all of founder Dan Schneider’s events possess.
The atmosphere was electric as friends talked about their holiday fun and travel, and picked each other’s brains on how to continually make their business enterprises thrive and grow.
By far the highlight of the evening was guest speaker Carol Scott, whose combination of wit, humor and charm kept everyone riveted to their seats
Scott, of Long Beach and a former Rockaway Beach resident, had previously spoke at another one of “I Can Still Do That’s” partners, Women Who Lunch, events.
Carol, C.E.O. of ECA World fitness, focused on her “Seven Secrets of Success”, which are streamlined to unlock one’s potential and to help them learn how to avoid the pitfalls that stand between people and their ultimate dreams.
Carol discussed how individuals can drop and conquer all the barriers that get in the way, thus helping them make more money, create more happiness, and subsequently, opportunity.
“She was fantastic, and hilarious,’’ said Anthony Orgera, an Aflac District Coordinator. “I could relate to many of the things she hit on.”
“Carol is second to none,” Dan said. “She is always entertaining and full of wonderful tips. She will have a new book out soon, and we will promote it on our website and amongst our members.”
Dan introduced a new networking arm of his “I Can Still That” organization, which First Mondays is a part of.
Third Thursdays will be hosting its first networking extravaganza on February 16th at the Marriott Residence Inn in Longview, Long Island, and is tentatively slated to meet once a month.
Its format will be the same as First Mondays and its makeup of members will include many of the same crowd, especially the First Monday members who reside in Long Island.
Dan expects to see everyone at the next First Mondays in April.
