Date: 2008-01-05 19:00:00

Type:

No plans for Sat yet? Please come out & join us for some friendly pool games!! All skill levels are welcome! I am hosting another social pool mixer. As usual, we would be rotating people around the tables every 30-45 minutes. Below is the details. Our event usually has 25-30 people showed up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.org as I would be promoting the events via a few channels.) When: Saturday Jan 5th 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards at 1400 North Shoreline Blvd. #C-1, Mountain View, CA Cost: $15.00/person to be collected when signing in. Ladies will receive a discounted entry fee of $10 for this event. For those who would like to stay & play more pool after the event finished at 10:30pm, Shoreline Billiards offer our group $5 flat fee per person til they close at 2am RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Jan 4th. I need your FULL name,email address, number of guests (if any) with their names, phone number optional. Although RSVP is not required, it would be helpful to let me know if you plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat, so if you do decide to join us the last minute, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC's group How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. If you got rotated to a table that you have already played with 2 out of 3 players TWICE, please let me know, I would try my best to switch table for you. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules can be emailed if requested & is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. To be notified with our future pool events, go to yahoo.com, then go to "group", search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool, Billiards, Snooker Club), then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address, I would manually add you as member. I look forward to seeing you all again then. Shirley

Roem Baur at Red Rock

Where: Red Rock Coffee

Date: 2007-09-01 20:00:00

Type:

ALL AGES Roem Baur - 8pm 1 block from Mountain View Caltrain, Awesome venue. A little about Red Rock: "Red Rock was born when a group of people came together and wanted to create a place of genuine community. Not just a great place to meet and hang out, but a place that truly gave back and supported the community that supports it. That’s why the Red Rock functions as a not-for-profit business. We take all profits not used to support the ongoing business of the cafe and donate them to other non-profit and charity groups. So, you can actually feel good about that triple vanilla latte with a side of carrot cake. The point is, the more you support Red Rock. The more you support the community. We’re talking little leagues, food banks, community fairs and festivals, art endowments, homeless shelters, local schools, etc. It’s a little way toward making our small corner of the world a better place. An old idea, yes, but a good one." Exerpt taken from Red Rock website.

The Online Community Unconference is a gathering of online community practitioners - managers, developers, business people, tool providers, investors - to discuss experience and strategies in the development and growth of online communities. Those involved in online community development (and social software in general) share many common challenges: community management, tools, marketing, business models, legal issues. As we have found with our past events, the best source of information on all of these challenges is other knowledgeable practitioners. The Online Community Unconference is inspired by the emerging "open space" conference format. There will also be plenty of time for networking. The Computer History Museum in Mountain View is a unique venue with plenty of parking and WiFi. Lunch and snacks will be provided, and the Museum exhibits will be open to the group during the breaks. Price: $195 ($175 before May 1). Space is limited. Fee is fully refundable prior to May 1, not refundable after (but admission is transferable). We're really looking forward to this event and hope to see you there. Tell your colleagues!

We will start the program promptly at 12:00! Due Diligence - what to expect! So an investor has expressed interest, and now wants to conduct "Due Diligence." What exactly does this mean, what do they expect from you, and what are some of the mistakes that can cause major headaches? How capable are the management team & how trustworthy are they? Are the acheievements in their resumes real, or have they been "gilding the lilly?" How does their business fare in Alsop’s formula? Success = Q + I + S + M – P , where Q = Quality – does it provide the level of quality people want? I = Innovation – does it do what people want? S = Smarts – does the company understand how to communicate & deliver to the customer? M = Money – can they attract funding? P = Pain – what is the company asking the customer to go through for the product to work? Are there any legal problems that raise red flags, and can they raise a new round or get to break even before the money runs out? All the above - and more! - will come up during Due Diligence by potential investors, so it's smart to know what they'll be looking for, before they uncover something that can nix the deal.

Date: 2008-10-04 19:00:00

Type:

Hi, all beginner poolplayers out there, this event is set up specially with you in mind. I have recruited some advanced players who are all very patient coaches for this pool event. This would be a great opportunity for beginners to learn the basics including the rules & the fundamentals of poolplaying while socializing & meeting new friends. You would not feel the pressure even you have never played pool before. No need for coaching? No problem. Here is what I am going to do. I would divide the participants into 2 groups. If you are not interested in pool lesson, I would do the regular table rotation every 45 min so that you can meet more new players. The 2nd group would be the advanced players coaching beginners. I may rotate this group as well depending on how the turnout will be. When signing up for this event, please let me know whether you would like to be in the one with pool lesson or the pure social group. PS This is not "formal" lesson, just coaching by advanced players. Below is the info: please feel free to email me with any questions. Our event usually has 25-35 people show up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.Org site, as I would be promoting the event through various channels) Date/ Time: Sat Oct 4th 7pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards 1400 N Shoreline Blvd, C-1 Mountain View Cost: $15 per person to be collected when signing in. For those who would like to play longer after the event ended at 10:30pm, Shoreline Billiards offers a flat rate of $5 per person for the rest of the evening. They close at 2am. Plenty of time for you to practice your newly learned pool technique. To RSVP: Please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Oct 3rd. Please include your Full name, email address, number of guests (if any) with their names. Phone number is optional. Please be sure to indicate whether you'd like to be put in pool lesson group or not. Although RSVP is not required, I would like to plan on how many tables & coaches I would need, so please let me know if you think you are likely to join us. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat, so if you do decide to join us at the last minute, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley or BAPBSC's group To be notified with our future pool events, go to yahoo.com, then go to "group", search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool, Billiards, Snooker Club), then select to join/ subscribe to the club.

Social Billiards Mixer in Mountain View, CA. All Skill level...

Type:

No plans for Sat yet? Please come out & join us for some friendly pool games!! All skill levels are welcome! I am hosting another social pool mixer. As usual, we would be rotating people around the tables every 30-45 minutes. Below is the details. Our event usually has 25-30 people showed up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.org as I would be promoting the events via a few channels.) When: Saturday Nov 1st 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards at 1400 North Shoreline Blvd. #C-1, Mountain View, CA Cost: $15.00/person to be collected when signing in. For those who would like to stay & play more pool after the event finished at 10:30pm, Shoreline Billiards offer our group $5 flat fee per person til they close at 2am RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Oct 31st. I need your FULL name,email address, number of guests (if any) with their names, phone number optional. Although RSVP is not required, it would be helpful to let me know if you plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat, so if you do decide to join us the last minute, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC's group How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. If you got rotated to a table that you have already played with 2 out of 3 players TWICE, please let me know, I would try my best to switch table for you. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules can be emailed if requested & is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. To be notified with our future pool events, go to yahoo.com, then go to "group", search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool, Billiards, Snooker Club), then select to join/ subscribe to the club.

It is a unique ability to be able to step back and take a reflective look into one's past. This presentation is intended to provide a reflective look at what you have accomplished and what you want to accomplish. Looking for a new opportunity is stressful but can be a positive opportunity to review, reflect, challenge, and think outside the box in discovering what you should do with your life going forward. Be careful, this presentation may take you to places you haven't thought about in some time and may uncover your true passion for building something you are proud of. 'Building a Resume that tells your Story': Your resume should tell you story with a clear 'Picture' of your experience, capabilities, education, skills, and accomplishments in a one or two page summary. Your résum?#39;s purpose is to get your foot in the door. A resume does its job successfully if it does not exclude you from consideration. To prepare a successful resume, you need to know how to review, summarize, and present your experiences and achievements in a concise manner. This presentation will guide you through a review of your resume from the perspective of the hiring interviewer and their company. 'Before, During, and after the Interview': The Boy Scouts have it right. 'Be prepared'. The job interview is only a stop along the path of securing a new position. In some respect by the time you get to the interview if you haven't done your homework it may be to late to secure the job. This presentation will also talk about: 'killer resumes', working with recruiters, and assuring you have the best information possible in presenting yourself in the interview. Speaker Bio: Mr. Sanderson has over thirty-five years of senior executive search, technology marketing, and start-up company management experience. His background includes member of the founding executive team for multiple technology companies including Kinetics Inc., National Semiconductor Security Business Unit, and a division of Novell Inc.

View, California 94041 Charles Anderson Email: canderson@casecentral.com URL: www.svase.org/?q=node/736 AGENDA: 11:45-12:00 Registration, Networking and Food 12:00-12:15 SVASE/Startup-U Overview, Introductions, Speaker Intros 12:15-1:15 Interactive Mashup-U Program 1:15-1:30 Networking with the presenters! With your help, we will start on time so the speaker can provide you with as much interactive information as possible. Please arrive by 11:45am to register. We will start the program promptly at 12:00! CREATING A COMPELLING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of the Executive Summary is to generate sufficient interest to get you to a meeting where you can go into more detail. It should short, sharp & create excitement. The response to it should be “That sounds interesting, tell me more”, so you don’t need to include everything, just the key information. The executive summary is often your initial face to a potential investor, so it is critically important that you create the right first impression. Contrary to the advice in many articles on the topic, you do not need to explain the entire business plan in 250 words. You need to convey its essence, and its energy. You have about 30 seconds to grab an investor’s interest. You want to be clear and compelling. Most guides to writing an executive summary miss the key point: The job of the executive summary is to sell, not to describe. So, forget what everyone else has been telling you. Come and hear what it really takes to create a clear, concise and compelling executive summary! Popular FAQs regarding Startup U: What is the cost of this event? A $5 (member) or $15 (affiliate/non-member) registration fee, plus a $1.50 credit card processing fee, includes event and lunch, available through advanced online registration. A $10 or $20 fee is collected at the door. What is the format of a Startup-U event typically? Generally speaking, each event begins with an introduction by the host followed by a brief talk about SVASE and self-introductions by each of the attendees. After the introductions, the host introduces a speaker (usually 20 minute presentation, followed by group discussion) or the discussion topic; the exact format varies based on the host and that variety is what makes this event so exciting!
