More Horseback Riding Pictures

Golf 101

I recently hosted Golf 101 at Schenley Park with Local PGA Pro Sedrick Jackson. Sedrick did a great job teaching the group the fundamental techniques of the game.

I will be hosting The Minority Networking Exchange 1st Annual Golf Tournament on September 21, 2007 at Schenley Park.

Horseback Riding

I try to create opportunities for Networking. Lots of black folks complain that about being "Bored" in Pittsburgh. People rather spend $30.00 at the bar and call that a good night. Recently, I decided to create more family oriented events. I read a study about influences on children: Children usual hear about 10 positive messages from their family on a daily basis. However, those same children typically hear 50 negative messages per day.

So I want to do my part - I want to create a positive culture where children and families have something to talk about for a long time.

I really enjoyed Horseback riding. 20 People participated in this event - including 6 children. As the pictures show - the kids had a great time. The pictures also show - a few adults - looking terrified.

On May 24th 2007 - I hosted my first Murder Mystery. It was a great experience. 40 people participated in this event. Everyone had a great time. I am anxiously preparing for my next murder mystery. Murder at the Juice Joint. This has been a great Networking and Marketing tool for my business. I expect 50 people to attend on June 24, 2007..........
