'Tis The Season For Networking: New Group Forms In Stamford

STAMFORD, Conn. -- There's a new networking group in Stamford, thanks to two local residents -- one who has lived here for 24 years, one less than two.

"East Coast Face2Face" is the brainchild of longtime Stamfordite Valerie Lynn of Valerie Lynn Design and newcomer, artist and entrepreneur, Jane Ubell-Meyer.

The two hosted their first event Sept. 23 to such success - more than 45 people from all different industries, according to Ubell-Meyer -- and are gearing up for their second, to be held 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at a private area off the lobby of 75 Tresser Blvd.

The idea for the group was to focus on the "people" behind their businesses.

"Our goal is for Connecticut-based business owners to create joint ventures and help each other in a collaborative fashion," says Ubell-Meyer of MadisonAndMulholland.com. "We believe in social media; however 'face-to-face' is sometimes the best way to get to know each other and to explore mutual interests."

Tito's Vodka is the vodka sponsor and other local vendors include Noble Salon, Madison & Mulholland, Valerie Lynn Design, Ryan Printing Inc., Jarlsberg USA and La Jolie Salon.

Ubell-Meyer advises folks to "bring your party shoes and have fun."

Tables are available to offer vendors the opportunity to sell their holiday products.
