Annie Mame Says: Go To “Network Connecticut”

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:18:26 +0000

Hi all, just wanted to tell you about a change with my blog, AnnieMame. After a year of writing about fabulous people and places in Connecticut in my own way, I have decided to take this to the next level. While Annie Mame will still be here for you, all of the stories and new ones to come are moving over to a bigger, better site called Network Connecticut. After all that is what I love doing networking and connecting us all so that we are all stronger in our endeavors.

After driving about 15,000 miles in my car and hopping out and meeting tons of people and shooting photos and videos, it was time to showcase all of this in a better way. I am having a ball doing this and have grown ten fold in my knowledge of what you all are doing, I’m in awe.

I also have to say that the non-profits at work in this state are amazing and even after so many years on the air, I didn’t know half of what so many are doing, but now I do.

I hope you have learned along with me just how great our state is, that Connecticut is filled with so many interesting stories. I’m on a mission, and Network Connecticut will take me there.

So follow Annie Mame over to Network Connecticut where you can read about, and be inspired by others. Oh, and I’ll let you in on a little secret, Annie Mame will be back in the future in a vintage and fun way, I’ll just leave you with that. For now I’m driving my network, Network Connecticut.

Like most florists who are passionate about what they do, her eyes light up when she talks about flowers and color and possibilities, ESPECIALLY when it comes to weddings and in particular the bride’s bouquet. Yumiko says it all about the bride’s bouquet. If you look at her blog, you’ll understand why.

Hands down, cute-as-a-button, no-bigger-than-a-minute, Donna Philips of Connecticut is a “foodie.” I’m not talking about a person whose conversation casually turns to food, but a gal who wakes up every morning thinking about what delicious delights she might be digging into as she plans her day, her week, her year, her life.

New Year, new challenges and it’s time to network and connect and get going on your future.

At the Young Men’s Institute Library in New Haven, Connecticut hearing “shhhhhhhhhh” would be quite appropriate. You see, this gem of a place tucked into the downtown area of the Elm City is the state’s oldest living literary institution and one of the last remaining membership libraries in North America. Who knew?
