Multi-Chamber networker at Cebu Lounge

A few of us represented Coconut Grove at last night's Multi-Chamber of Commerce networker at Cebu Lounge in Coral Gables. Out of the hundreds that showed, up, three of us were from the Grove: from left, myself, Sandy Speier and Yvonne Rosemeier. That is Evelio Medina with us, of the Downtown Miami-Brickell Chamber. About 15 different chambers came together for the event including the Coconut Grove Chamber, although I did not see one person from the Grove Chamber there. Then the Grove wonders why no one shows up at our events. Karma folks.


Yanet Torres, Robert Mercado, Ligia Espinosa. Robert is with the BBC Worldwide. Which is pretty cool at a networking event.


Tasty morsels were served, Cebu is new on the scene and they were proud to share their menu items with the large crowd. At right is Fabiola Castro, of Fabulous Miami.


Vickie Rojas, Yami Garcia, Sandra Ellerby Averhoff.


These handsome guys are from the Holiday Inn Coral Gables, from left: Joel Becerra, Miguel Hernandez and Marco Mejia, the GM.


The restaurant was very nice and quite large which accommodated the big crowd. I started a Social Media/Publicist business, so it was nice meeting so many new people and lots of media folks, who were among them. There was a line to get in all night.
