SEABA Updates

On August 16, Cube Gallery hosted our soiree. Milltown Arms Tavern generously provided complimentary snacks, wine and beer for our guests. Wow-those fritters sure were delicious! Chad Reilly from Cube Gallery was a gracious host. We had thirteen guests throughout the evening and Cube Gallery was a perfect space for relationship building. During our 60 second introductions, we learned about our new member, Zach Porter. He is a professional photographer in the area photographing everything from weddings to corporate events to photos for your website. He can be reached at zach@zachporter.com.
On September 20, 2012, Six Feet Under Pub and Fish House will host our soiree from 5:30 p.m. until 7:15 p.m. on their beautiful rooftop deck. This was one of the most popular soirees last year, so don’t miss your chance to meet other business owners in the area while enjoying a view that can’t be beat.
On October 18, 2012, Zoo Atlanta will be hosting our quarterly business luncheon from 12:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. Lanelle Henderson from Constant Contact will be giving a presentation about communicating with your market in the most effective way.

Our November soiree will be held at Ziba’s Wine Bar and our annual meeting in December will be held at a location TBD.
