Palmetto Bay
Village Center
The PBVC will be
the location of the August luncheon. We hope that you will bring
as many visitors as you can for our Speed-Networking activity.
Mayor Paul Vrooman is scheduled to address the group. See you
there!
The
July 4th Holiday at Whispering Pines Park was a success
 Thanks
to all those who attended the Independence Day celebration.
Everyone had a wonderful time and it showed great community
spirit. We are looking forward to next year being even better!
Meeting #2:
Cutler Ridge Park Community Room
The membership
broke into small groups called "spheres of influence" to determine
how we can work together to pass referrals to one another. It also
gave the sphere members an opportunity to see what businesses
aren't represented in the association. Everyone was asked to find
someone who will fill those vacancies during the next 30 days.
Thank You,
Anacapri To Go
The Italian
Cuisine provided by Anacapri To Go could not have been
better. It was reported to the owner,
Giuseppe 'Joe' Zuozo,
how much everyone enjoyed the food, and his only concern was
whether we had enough. We encourage our members to spread the word
about how delicious the food is at this fine establishment. We had
plenty and thanks again, Joe.

Membership:
Nearing 100 Member Mark
We are pleased to
announce that our membership continues to grow. Since our March
luncheon, we have added seven new members. There are now 95
business owners who have joined the CBBA association. The
excitement is building every month. Let's keep up the good work!
First Meeting
at New Location: Cutler Ridge Park Community Center
Our first meeting
at the Cutler Ridge Park Community Center was well attended with
over 75 members and visitors. The delicious meal was catered by
Honey Baked Ham of Cutler Bay.
The group enjoyed
the fast pace of the networking program, which was called Speed
Networking. Members were encouraged to share with each other what
they do for business and who their best referral would be.
Many commented on
how well the meeting went and how they look forward to our next
meeting in April. See pictures of the event by clicking

Exciting
Start: Members Challenged to Help Other Members
The room was
buzzing after our first monthly CBBA luncheon. Leadership
announced that our goal for the new year is to help grow each
other's business through networking with our 88+ member
association. The theme for the year is "Taking Your Business to
the Next Level: Using Networking."
Every member is
being challenged to conduct Member-to-Member meetings before the
February luncheon. This will encourage the passing of qualified
referrals to each member. The more we know about each other's
preferred business prospects the better we are able to help find
them.

We want to express our sincere
thanks to Mr. Castellano, of Freedom Speakers & Trainers, for his

He encouraged everyone to spend time developing our memory power.
We look forward to having him return to discuss other important
topics.
Business Card
Vending Machine
During the
November luncheon at R.J. Gators, the CBBA Business Card Vending

opportunity of taking one of them. This is an excellent way to get
your business some great exposure. The spaces are limited and are
offered on a first-come-first-served basis. The cost is only
$60.00 for a six-month period. Contact Darryl Boyette or Cindy
Ingersoll for availability.
