Networking: Bogota @ Gleason's Gym

Marybeth Sullivan of ShadesOfFun.com, and a Gleason's Gym trainer/boxer.

One of the things I enjoy best about being a member of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is the numerous events I get invited to throughout the borough. It gives me an opportunity to meet other chamber members and business owners in addition to representing Bogota. Last Wednesday, Brooklyn Chamber Members were invited to Gleason's Gym in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) for an evening of networking and white collar boxing. I invited my friend Marybeth to come along and introduce her to the joys of networking - something she's never really done before. She went as a representative of Bogota Bistro but she also got to represent her own novelty sunglass business: Shades of Fun.

The event was very surreal. Boxers and businessmen and women each doing their thing at Gleason's. I enjoyed it.
