One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

This group, Thinking for a Change, is what a networking group is all about. We meet to showcase our businesses so others know what we do. Then we LISTEN to what others do. That's when it all begins. We help each other connect for business and we THINK about who we can connect with them. Viola! We make friends; we help each other with referrals; we connect; we think for a change how we can help others, which then helps us (thus the name of our group). We continue to grow as a group and with our b …

In my opinion and from personal experience, it's easier to make real lasting friendships when meeting new people one on one, as opposed to in a group.

This group is for young single (as in not married) women in their 20's and 30's who want to meet others one-on-one and hopefully make some new friends. Once you've joined this group, you can simply contact others in the group …
