Netwalking – How did it go?
Response to my “Netwalking” idea has been really positive. Many people commented that it’s a great idea. Many helped me spread the word with their networks.
Our first event was last night. My husband was nice enough to go with me. Yet another reason why I love him.
So, at 7 p.m. last night when there were only about six of us there ready to walk, I must admit that I was disappointed. I did get a few last-minute cancellations. Work and life get in the way sometimes, and I certainly understand that. It was fairly hot last night too, so maybe the weather kept some people away.
This morning I found out that three other people DID show up, but they went to a different entrance! I’m so proud though, the kind of people that they are, they walked together anyway and really enjoyed it.
Those who did make it came with their walking shoes, their business cards and a ton of enthusiasm. Chris from 1406 Financial brought towels for everyone, as well as water and gatorade. Dianne from The Buddy System brought her two beautiful dogs, Storm and Major. Everyone said they would love to do it again.
It takes time for an idea to grow and catch on and I’m excited to see where this one goes. I will be walking on the trail for exercise anyway, so why not invite a few friends and spend the time getting to know one another at the same time?
I’m thinking Thursday, September 16th at 6 p.m. for the next one. Whitehall Road entrance of Norristown Farm Park. Call my cell phone if you get lost (484) 429-3815.
Great job Linda. I missed the event but will try to make the next one.
beautiful night! wonderful park. let’s do it again and this time i’ll read the email better and go to the right entrance… but me and the 2 other people who didn’t read the email properly had a great time… missed you, but that’s ok. i met 2 new people!
I thought it was a great idea, and even though there weren’t a lot of people, we were a small but mighty group!
I’d definitely recommend netwalking – and I’d do it again. GREAT idea, Linda – thanks for organizing it!
