"How to Give the Gift of a Referral Holiday Party"

Join Lake County Social Networking on Monday, December 5, at 5:30pm cst to celebrate the holidays! We're doing it the only way we know how---> by giving the gift of a referral!

So what is the gift of a referral look like?  

Every person that attends will receive the name of another attendee to seek out and talk about what they do, what they are looking for, and how you can help them. Following the event, you will write a LinkedIn recommendation for them and in turn someone will do the same for you!

But wait, it gets better!  We will collect every recommendation and in turn create a Lake County Social Networking blog post specifically showcasing all of recommendations. In addtion, there will be a special New Years newsletter distributed to the entire LCSN database focusing solely on these recommendations. What better way to give the gift of a referral and at the same time continue creating meaningful connections! 

Lake County Social Networking is all about "Creating Meaningful Connections"
