There is nothing like the smell of BBQ Tri-Tip and hotlinks to kick off Schmooze – A – Palooza! Flashco in Fresno set the tone for this month’s Schmooze by firing up the BBQ and bringing the mixer outdoors. In a continual effort to advocate collaboration of the industry and bring all of the players to the table and work together we are organizing monthly networking / mixer events. These events are being held at various locations throughout Central California and sponsored by our Members. This is a direct way for us to reach out to our members in a fun interactive environment and discuss the needs of their respective organizations and the industry as a whole.
Our goals with the Schmooze – A – Palooza events are to:
• Bring the construction industry together throughout the Central California region.
• Continue to build relationships within the Construction community and promote the industry as a whole.
• Keep our finger on the pulse of our Members needs so we can adjust and grow to fit those needs.
• Build relationships amongst our members who can benefit from utilizing each other’s resources as well as the resources available to them through CCBE to be successful.
• Enjoy food, drinks and of course Schmoozing!
Thanks to our sponsor for May Flashco, we took to the outdoors with SCHMOOZE – A – PALOOZA for a spring time BBQ in Fresno on Thursday afternoon. Flashco was gracious enough to sponsor and host this event for our Members and Guests to enjoy good drinks, good food and a great time! The Flashco team set up the custom BBQ trailer and had a few of their vendors on hand to display the products that they carry. We also had the full support of the Flashco team as they joined the festivities and mingled amongst the guests.
This was the perfect way to take advantage of a sunny afternoon by coming out to socialize with others in the industry. The vendors on hand donated several prizes to be given out to guests who dropped a business card in the fish bowl. From goodie bags filled with all kinds of fun stuff to work gloves, safety glasses and even a set of four tickets to a Bulldog Football Game.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend a very special thanks to Flashco for graciously sponsoring the event and allowing us to use their facilities. If it was not for the support of our Members like Flashco we would not be able to hold events like this and continue to bring our industry together.
A Special Thanks to Vance Ezell and the entire FlashcoTeam for their support in making this event a success!
