Bring Your Own Cause networking event with Columbia Net Impact, Community Lab, and more - Th. Oct. 14

I have a fan!  Phi Pham of Community Lab sent me this message today:

-----

"I'm a big fan of your networking blog and networking resources! I'm also pretty sure we've run into each other before from various events. I was wondering if you could post this on your site, it would be much appreciated."

-----
Although I can't post everything about everything, I am open to event suggestions for blogging here - email me if you know of cool networking events happening in NYC.  (kbierce at gmail (dot) com)

I'd also like to share this upcoming event with you, dear readers, because I had a great experience at the last event (held at Delancey Lounge in August).  BYOC is an event where you "bring your own cause, and leave with another" - so you can talk about what you're working on and learn more about others' work.  It's kinda standard networking stuff, but different because they have a fundraiser / text vote / donation jars where you can decide with your votes who gets all the donations from the night.  Pretty cool stuff, and fantastic people, too!  

Happy networking,

Katharine
