Business Networking & Referral Group meeting every Thursday in Westport, CT. BNI Westport - Business Networking and Referral Group meeting at PORT. in Westport

This past weekend, Westport BNI walked together at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and we’re proud to share that our team raised $6,565, beating our $6,000 goal! 💜

This walk is organized by our own member, Cheryl Podob. It’s the largest Alzheimer’s walk in Connecticut and the 26th largest in the country, with about 2,500 walkers this year.

Each flower in the Promise Garden has a meaning:
💜 Purple for someone lost to the disease
💛 Yellow for someone caring for a loved one
🧡 Orange for supporting the cause

Our team carried all three.

Thank you to Cheryl for the work she puts into this event every year, and to every member, family member, and friend who walked or donated. This is what a networking group looks like when it shows up for its community.

This week at Westport BNI we had a double feature! David Katz of ACSIA Partners (21 years in long-term care insurance) and Curtis Bentley of Health Directions (12 years in health insurance planning) teamed up for a Q&A-style presentation, then took questions from the room. That’s 33 years of combined experience helping people make sense of their coverage. Thank you both!

Looking for guidance on long-term care, Medicare or health insurance? Reach out to David or Curtis, or ask any Westport BNI member for an introduction.

Thank you to last week’s featured presenter, Monika Piascik of Monika’s Bookkeeping! 📊

Monika walked us through the five questions she helps business owners answer: How much am I actually making? Where is my money going? Who owes me money? What do I owe? And the big one: Can I trust my numbers?

As a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, Monika helps small business owners clean up their books, get organized, and make decisions with confidence. If someone you know could use a trusted bookkeeper, send them her way!
