The Network Review

The Reviews are in! Curious minds have been calling, texting, and emailing me constantly demanding to know the results of the first Network Gathering. I am proud and excited to report that The Network was very successful! Several people from various social groups arrived last night and enjoyed mingling and "networking" with others from Oxford. The Network arrived at The Blue Pan and quickly gathered around the luxurious seating. Lawyers, teachers, professors, doctoral students, University staff and other young professionals met joyfully with the common goal of socializing and having fun. After each attendee gave a brief introduction, the Network quickly discussed future meetings, goals, and events. We decided our monthly gatherings will be the second Thursday of every month, unless there is a holiday. Attorney Kevin Frye purchased the Network's website and will begin construction on the site shortly with assistance from Croft Institute employee Ms. Brooke Bagley. With the website, Network members will be able to message other members about upcoming Oxford events and invite others to meet at various locations or events. For instance, if Network members want to meet at Two Stick for trivia or at the Grove etc. members can inform others of the plan and if Network members want to stop by, they are welcome. Everyone really seemed to like the idea and enjoy the new company. Ms. Victoria Stewart (pictured right with her 2 brothers) has lived in Oxford for years now and is very excited about the creation of The Network. Today at the old Willie Price grind Ms. Stewart commented of how fun the group was and how she looked forward to more events with the Network. Ahhh... sweet success. Although Ms. Stewart is moving to Tupelo in the near future, I am assured that she will continue to attend Network events in the future...we shall see. One thing I am positive of is that the Network will provide more great times and social opportunities in the future, stay tuned for more news about the Network :)

After the official gathering of the Network was complete, some of the network decided to leave for a cheaper dinner option and dined at the Old El Charro now known as Casa Mexicana. The meal was enjoyable however the restaurant was out of shrimp so I was somewhat disappointed however the wonderful and hilarious company made up for the lack of dining options.

In other news, the weekend is already upon us and I wish everyone a fun and safe weekend wherever and however you plan to use it. My goal is to sleep, work out, and hang out with friends. Whatever the case, enjoy yourself, there are only a few more sweet weeks of summer remaining.
