WOW! What a BIG time indeed
And just like that, it's in the past.
With all humility, I must say I am very proud of what 4 (all of whom did this strictly part time at best) people pulled off in less than two months. This wasn't even an idea on February 1 of this year. To have so many great sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and such a tasty cake in such short order is AMAZING.
In a day filled with highlights, it's hard to focus on just one or two. So I won't in this note. I will post my response below and would love it if you would please share yours too.
What did you love about the event yesterday?
Did you make some good connections?
Did you learn some valuable information?
Most importantly, did you enjoy yourself?
There were 400 people at least at this event. Please, just take a moment and respond to this. I don't feel like that's asking for too much.
Be connected-

A special plug for Snapfuze, if you got a chance to hop in that photo booth you know how cool it was. If you're having a party, festival or other kind of gathering, get them there. Your guests will love it!

Fabulous event Terry and Charlie! As a sponsor we were thrilled to meet many new faces and reconnect with some folks we haven't seen in awhile.
Congratulation on your success with MCC. It was the hard work of your team that benefited all of us.

Looking forward to many more,

As the first MCC event I've participated in, I've got to say I was impressed. Harbor Computer Services had a table there and we met so many people running interesting businesses. We had a great time. I was exhausted by 5pm and so didn't make the after event but I plan to attend future events and get to know people a little better.
We're going to keep up our no strings attached give-away of free computer network monitoring and reporting for a full year for MCC members. This is the tool that allows businesses to get advance notice when something goes haywire. This allows you to nip problems in the bud before they become expensive. We'll allow you to use it on 10 computers and 1 server, so take us up on it!

Thank you for a great event. I look forward to being involved with future events and meetings. What I like about Motor City Connect is the core message and the people that are apart of this business group. Thanks again to Terry and Charlie for all that they do.

Terry, Charlie.
It has been a pleasure to be a part of MCC over the years. Terry, this has been a dream of yours for some time and I am glad to be a part of it as that dream becomes reality.
Linda, I missed you at the event. It is great to see you out and about.
I have to ask the same question as Drew: "How do we top this next year?"
Terry, the only thing I could think about while I was at the MCC Birthday event was the words of our illustrious VP Joe Biden "Wow this is a big 'Frikin' Deal!"
Seriously it was a great event and can't wait for next one.
By the way, I read half you book this weekend and should finish it tonight.
Take care

Terry, Charlie - Great event, great enery and opportunities, I look forward to future events through MCC.

I am new to MCC and only wish I had been there for all three birthdays.
The Birthday bash for NUmber 3 was out standing. It Stixx is a product trhat has to be seen for people to respond to it and what it can do for them and there business. Going to our site www.itstixx.com , is helpful but nothing beats people seeing it touching it and taking one of our cards and playing with it.
Having a booth at the Bash will pay dividens for us over and over. The contacts made, seeing people that I had not seen in a long time and just being in such a rick environment was just fantastic.
Yes we will get business from being there, and tat is great but connecting to so many great hard working people was even more inspiring.
Thanks to all who have built such a great group.

Abizer!
Wish I had seen you there - it's been far too long! Thanks for thinking of me, though!
And I agree with you and Drew - it will be hard to top it for next year, but T&C are quite creative...
Cheers -

I think all of us are "out there" and get used to some pretty mundane events. The MCC 3rd B-day Bash was NOT one of those. I talked a couple of folks into joining me and as we entered, we were immediately stopped by so many well-wishers - including Terry. Needless to say, they were ALL impressed!
I had the opportunity to listen to several of the speakers - many of which "blew me away..." (Dave, Steve, Kimberly, etc.) Loved the quick format - though I missed a good one due to the time mix-ups. Job Well Done - to the presenters. I heard new, fresh stuff. Very cool.
I loved the feeling that I wasn't at "work" while I was there. It was a festive, fun environment which didn't involve "in your face" selling... Of course, cake always makes life even better.
Met Michael Wickett who told me that the key to happiness is 1) being non-judgemental and 2) being grateful. Again, WONDERFUL advice... And, I am grateful for MCC and the people who make it happen. Thanks for a fun time!
Yes, it's truely amazing what you've done in only 3 years. My hat is off to you Terry.
