  On Tuesday evening, January 31st, there will be a combined dinner meeting for current members, alumni, and guests of IT-Networking, MIS Network Associates (MNA), Monmouth Networking, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ), ETP Network, and Careers in Transition (CIT) at the Holiday Inn, Totowa, NJ. 
  
  The dinner meeting will include a presentation by Linda Trignano – Managing the First Impression.
  
  In a difficult job market, interviews are a very precious commodity.  I hope we can all agree that critical impressions are formed in the first few seconds of a face-to-face interview. The way you look is a substantial part of the interviewer’s impression based on how you are dressed, how you speak and how you sound.  Is your appearance at interviews a positive, a negative, or a neutral attribute to your efforts to secure a job?  How about a professional opinion?  Executive coach and career consultant Linda Trignano will provide some insight into “Dressing for the Successful Interview”-- attire, grooming, accessories, and more.  You should be up for the challenge and come to the meeting dressed as you would for an interview.  A few audience volunteers (both male and female) will be offered the opportunity to have their interview attire discussed and constructively critiqued by Linda as well as the audience based on the information shared during the evening.
  
  Linda Trignano's consulting firm, Trignano Consulting, find her at: www.lindatrignano.com helps individuals and business groups find their potential through change.  Linda has spent over 24 years facilitating and working with teams and individuals.  As a career coach, she helps her clients identify their career goal and find their dream job.  Utilizing her expertise and knowledge as a former corporate recruiter with AT&T, she understands what employers are looking for in a candidate.  One area of specialty for Linda includes preparing her clients to shine in the job interview.
  
  The schedule for the dinner meeting on January 31st will be:
  
  - 6:00 pm – Registration, cash bar, and “speed dating”
  
  - 6:45 to 7:15 -- Individual introductions with RSVP list reference – see below
  
  - 7:00 pm -- Dinner
  
  - 8:00 pm – Linda Trignano’s presentation with appropriate Q & A
  
  - 9:30 pm Approximate – Raffle:  You must be there to win
  
  Following our usual meeting format, after you have registered and added your resume, etc. to the handout piles, everyone will participate in a series of informal networking groups i.e. “speed dating”, before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions.  Briefly, these informal groups last for approximately 10 minutes.  At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups disperse, and new ones are formed with different participants.  Suggested dialogues for the groupings will be provided at the registration desk.
  
   There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 50 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout from the dinner.
  
  The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB on January 30th at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470.  Checks should be made out to John. He can be reached at 973-248-3251. John’s email is jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be made through Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net.
  
  An RSVP list of attendees will be created and used to facilitate your networking activity. Current or last work affiliation, email address, and membership organization should be included in your RSVP. If you are in transition, please include the names of three target companies and the kind of position(s) you are seeking. If you are currently employed, you should provide the name of your last three employers. The preliminary RSVP will be distributed to the recipients of the initial mailing of this announcement and to all those on the list the week end before the dinner meeting for editing and informational purposes.  A “final” numbered RSVP list will be available at the registration desk on the 31st and can be used as part of your general introduction …”I’m # x on the RSVP list”. Your number will also appear on your name badge which will be available at the registration desk on the 6th.
  
  Since there will be walk-ins on the 31st, the final RSVP list will be emailed to the attendees as quickly as possible after February 3rd.
  
  We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on January 31st.  Their cost will be $60 without exception as well as for RSVP’s whose checks have not been received by COB on January 30th. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.
  
  Again, attendees should bring 50 copies of their bio/resume, leads or materials they wish to be included in the handout for the evening of January 31st.
  
  If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 31st, volunteer to be a “Meeting Marshall”.  Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!
  
  Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt. 46 Westbound in Totowa Park can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj    Traffic congestion at rush hour is substantial on Rt 46, so you should allow an extra half hour  to get to the Holiday Inn on the 31st.

  •  
    9:00 AM
  • Location
    Union County / Cranford - Nomahegan Park - 1033 Springfield Ave, Cranford, NJ 07016

  
  
  Walk MS will take place on Sunday, April 15th, 2012
  TIME: Registration begins at 9:00am and we walk at 10:00am.
  We will walk rain or shine!
  LOCATION: Union County/Cranford-Nomahegan Park - 1033 Springfield Ave, Cranford, NJ 07016 - DIRECTIONS BELOW
  
  Below is a personal note from Laura Cohen, Founder of the Mitzvah Squad, ETP Professional Member and Co-Founder of  Central New Jersey Networking Group .
  
  Dear Friends and Family,
  
  Help me and the MITZVAH SQUAD in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis!
  
  The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to slow down, let alone stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.
  
  I walk in honor of my husband Aaron and in honor of my friends Henry Oliver, Anita Riley, Marlene Wechselblatt, Shelly Schwartz, and Jason Tolpin (plus others who prefer not to have their names mentioned) who stubbornly battle MS daily.
  
  The Mitzvah Squad has begun our ELEVENTH year as a team for Walk MS because the National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them.
  
  Join our team as a walker or a volunteer!
  Mitzvah Squad is the name of our team page on Facebook.  If you are on FB, please visit our page and “like” our page to keep up with the latest team news. Make a donation online! Send in a check!  If you prefer to mail a check, you may make it payable to NMSS and mail it to me at 1237 Sedgewick Avenue, Westfield, NJ 07090.
  
  There are so many ways to make a difference in the fight against MS, and it all begins right here. Be a part of a TOP NJ and nationally recognized Walk MS team for the past 8 years.
  
  Again this year my brother-in-law Larry Cohen has offered to match dollar-for-dollar every pledge that I receive. For every dollar pledged by our team’s sponsors TWO DOLLARS will go to work to find a cure and improve treatment for MS. Every dollar means that we are a step closer to a cure.
  
  Whether you are a past sponsor or you hearing from me for the first time about my efforts for Walk MS and the National MS Society on behalf of my dear ones who battle MS, you have my deep thanks for supporting this cause that is so important to me.
  
  Thank you,
  Laura Cohen
