About
It all started when a mom put her little girl on the school bus on the second day of Kindergarten, and then posted a message on facebook saying "So, who wants and coffee or some mimosas?" So, she brewed the java, poured the "Champs", and the other thing that stated to "percolate" were some new connections and friendships.
Since that fall morning, this has evolved to much more than she ever anticipated. As the numbers of guest in her home grew and her kitchen counter grew more and more crowed, she realized that she needed to do something different. Its still about making introductions, helping everyone to connect and expand their success. It's also still about the fun and friendship this unusual group has been known for. But, it is really the most unusual mix of local personalities you will encounter.
If you were to do a "Romper Room" style roll call in here...you would have to say "I see titles that include Doctor, Lawyer, CEO, Psychologist, Counselor, Senior Directors, and Corporate Rock Stars. There are Techies, NASA Geeks, Scientists, Chefs, Artists, Nerdy Fan Girls, Photographers, and Fitness Gurus. I see SAHMs, BAMoMs, Theater/Dance/Backstage Moms, and even Doulas...(and some had no idea what that was before this group.) There are people who work from Non-Profits both as employees and committed volunteers, but the caring that pours out from either, is staggering. I see community activists, movers, shakers and influencers. I see Small Business Owners and others that are just tying to make an extra income for their family. I see neighbors and people that would have never met in any other capacity, but yet here they are. I see more than just a bunch of business cards or people I "network" with... I see people I admire and respect, who amaze me every day, and I am proud to be connected to." And the founder, she would be quick to add "I see my friends, and people I can't wait to get to know better and call friends....because, that is how I roll...and that is what I do best."
What once was a simple facebook group is now More Than Just Society. It is an organization totally about non-traditional networking, making positive connections, learning more about each other (and ourselves in the process), and inspiring each other. As much as the group is about each and every person being happy and successful in whatever it is she/he is focused on, it is also about that woman who poured the java and cleaned up coffee cake crumbs off her kitchen counter, long after everyone went about their days....so please remember, it is important to her. It started from a happy place...inside her kitchen, but it now survives because it is a big part of her heart. It is FRIENDworking at it's finest.
If you want to join us, there are only a few things we ask...be here, be positive, be supportive, and expect to be part of something MORE than you ever imagined.
