Women's Business Networking Luncheon Every Month in Cohoes

Every second Tuesday of each month we host a Women's Business Networking Luncheon at Harmony House Marketplace in Cohoes. The cost is always the same, but the meal choices and list of attendees tends to change. Yes, we have our core group of regulars but each month new women come and with them, they bring their business ideas and entrepreneurial spirit. Not a month goes by without some inspiring antidote surfacing. It is a very relaxed, welcoming meal that allows attendees to introduce both themselves and their business (or business idea). The luncheon is open to anyone (even men) and we tend to get a sampling of many industries; from real estate agents to contractors, from restaurant owners to bankers, from Mary Kay Sales Representatives to Yarn Shop Owners. It is a wonderful atmosphere to meet and greet.
One such individual I have had the opportunity get to know is Julie DeFruscio, Cohoes resident and Partner in "Girly Girl Studio." Here’s a new company that bears a second look. They support local manufacturing and have a unique fun product; custom made handbags. You can actually have a home party to create your perfect bag or you can design the bag on line. Girly Girl Studio, has a unique concept called “Pocket to Purse” with a collection of great “Pursey Paks” (cell phone cases) that you design to match your handbag, you then can clip these cases right inside your handbag. Want to grab your pursey pak for a quick run into the store than grab it and clip it to your belt loop. They are really cute and these Pursey Paks, will hold cell phone credit cards and more. Just a fun company with a growing line of not only handbags, but t-shirts, jewelry and more. Check out their website at www.girlygirlstudio.com
Better yet, come to our next Women's Business Networking Luncheon on Tuesday, May 11th at 12:00 noon and meet her yourself!
