DartNet has recently expanded it’s offering with another series of meetings -- the first DartNet AfterHours meeting was such a huge success, that Cheryl and I have decided to continue with them. These meetings will take place every second Thursday from 6:00-8:00pm at Sweet Smiles Pastry Cafe in Dartmouth. A website update is in order, which will feature the locations of our meetings each month, and an event calendar -- so please keep checking in at dartnet.ca. Events will also be posted on our facebook group and tweeted about via twitter -- @dartnet @richgraphics . Lots of exciting networking is in store with the DartNet series of events, so please join us!

Special Thanks to Charlie Mac Productions for the incredible job on the video!

February 17th marked our first-ever DartNet AfterHours event. This event was put together by Richard Black of Rich Graphics, and Cheryl Pace who recently opened the Sweet Smiles Pastry Cafe right here in Dartmouth, NS. We pulled together the event in a mere week and a half  – to amazing results! Advertising via newsletter, email, facebook and twitter we attracted over 20 local business people who came on down to check out the cafe and network. It’s something we will be doing again, likely on a monthly basis to supplement the regular morning DartNet events.

The best part of the evening format is that we attract both DartNet regulars, as well as those who can’t make a morning meeting. And Sweet Smiles is an amazing location! The homemade pastries and treats were a big hit, as was the delicious coffee and tea blends. In fact, they even make homemade hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows there!

Stay tuned for future AfterHours meetings – and thanks as always for your continued support. DartNet is a great networking forum because of you, it’s members.

Till next time,

Richard Black, Owner of Rich Graphics and organizer of DartNet and now DartNet: AfterHours!
