Hey Milwaukee! This is Meghan McCallum from McCallum Holdings (BP Podcast guest 228)

I'm setting up this networking event to hopefully get enough energized and excited people to start a Milwaukee REI Club We currently have clubs in Quad Cities(IL/IA) and Madison WI. We are going to be forming our next one here in Milwaukee. Here's what makes us different:

1) We don't sell you anything

2) We focus on Partnerships and Info Sharing

3) We link active members of the group to ALL the active members in other cities

4) We will schedule and organize professionals from your area AND investors from around the country to come and be guest speakers

This meeting we'll be looking to find our "boots on the ground" team to help run this local group. We will provide IT support to establish your group info sharing and website. 

We are excited to get this group up and growing as it will link you to other markets and a bunch of new partners. 

Other cities where groups are already starting to develop:

New Orleans

Lexington , KY

Chicago

Rockford, IL

Reach out and let us know who is interested in having more involvement in the group and let me know if you will be attending as we'd like a number to ensure we choose the best location to meet. Investors from other markets are already looking to attend future events!

    @Ramon Jenkins thanks! You were one of the first people who welcomed me to BP when I first joined a year and a half ago. This is another great welcome! I hope to see you! @Nathan Hale Sargent THANK YOU for taking the time to give that chat with the guys a listen! Looking forward to meeting you! @Shawn Ackerman this meeting will NOT be streamed, however it is my full intention to have that capability. To do so we would need a little more work together as a group (our club's parent group has an IT guy @Alex Bock

    @Meghan McCallum Hoyt Park is a good idea. The beer garden could also be an option. Or, an outdoor setting like Cafe Hollander or something similar. I have been to group meetings/get togethers at Jimmy's Iguana Island Bar/Grill @ the Radisson.

    @Meghan McCallum How can I not go to this.  It's 3 blocks from my house and miraculously my 4 young children do not have soccer, baseball, tennis or some other event between 6 & 7.

    Let me know if you need any help with it as I personally know the director of Hoyt.  You want me to see if we can reserve a table or 2?  If not, I can head up there earlier.

    Looking forward to it!

    @Michael Henry & @Sam Erickson you guys free to stop by?

    @Sam Erickson sure thing! There's really not much to set up but grab a drink and a few tables...but, I'm always happy to talk REI early!

    @Dorothy Pruitt-Smith actively connect on here with the other investors who are going and I'm hoping this becomes a regular thing!!! We'll be looking forward to meeting you.

    I'm in MKE about once a month and I'm looking to start building a network in the area. Looks like I planned my trips poorly for this month as I just got home and I'm headed back next week.
