Subject: Introducing Neighbors helping Neighbors

Dear Ms. Lippmeier,
 
Deborah Garrett from The Workplace provided me with your email address.

Several weeks ago I attended a career workshop at Brookline Public Library by Absolutely Abby (http://www.absolutelyabby.com/home.html). She announced that one of her friends wanted to start a career transition networking and support group at a public library in Greater Boston. Abby Kohut connected me with John Fugazzie and Becky Moore.
​
I spoke to John and Becky about the possibility of starting a Neighbors helping Neighbors (http://www.nhnusa.org/) chapter in Greater Boston. Becky and I agreed to be co-facilitators.  The next step is to identify a library that would agree to provide a meeting room and I thought the Boston Public Library would be a good place to start.

Below is a link announcing Neighbors helping Neighbors meetings hosted by Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), New Jersey Libraries.

Becky and I are available to meet on the following days:

Thursday, November 1 from 2 - 4 PM
Thursday, November 8th from 9 AM - 12 PM or 3 - 4 PM
Wednesday, November 14th from 9:00 - 11:00 AM or 2:00 - 3:30 PM

Please let me know when you are available to meet to learn more about Neighbors helping Neighbors.  I look forward hearing from you.

Regards,
John Spadaccini

Subject: CAREER FORUM: Tue, May 8th ..... Here comes Abby!

Absolutely Abby will deliver a presentation entitled " How to Maximize Your Positioning With Social Media."

LinkedIn can help you accelerate past your competition and stand out in the crowd, but only if you know how to use it effectively. Just signing up for an account is not enough. Once you learn to use the tools to your advantage, you can reach a new level of recognition and prominence that will cause new opportunities to start flying your way.

This interactive presentation will show you how to put this tool to use within a short window of time. The ideal audience includes those who are using LinkedIn at a basic level but want to use it more effectively.

Abby Kohut, who is known on the web as Absolutely Abby, is the President of Staffing Symphony, LLC. In the past 16 years, Abby held positions such as Senior Director of Recruiting for Kaplan, Interim Director of Recruiting for Continuum Health Partners, and Manager of Global Recruiting for Alpharma.
