It seems that Friday, April 24th, is going to be the best time for everyone to meet. Is 10 a.m. okay with everyone? Does anyone need directions?

Hope to see you there.

Deanna, sorry you can't make it to the first meeting but hopefully we will continue with monthly meetings (location may vary) and willl see you in May.

Hello All Brilliant Ladies!

My name is Alecia Williams. Fairly new to VA Forums and am happy to see a meetup has been set up. I live in East Cobb which is a drive but i will make all attempts to make it if it is still on.

Hoping there will be some form of confirmation with Friday only 3 days away!

Until Then.......

Hi Alecia, welcome to the Forum. I haven't gotten confirmations on the specific date of April 24th yet from the others VAs but I'm pretty sure others plan to attend.

I'm sending out private messages today to everyone asking for RSVPs. I will let you know status today or at the latest tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone who reads this post and plans to attend the meeting on Friday, April 24th, please RSVP here or via a private message.

Alecia and others, looking forward to gabbing with you then.

So far it looks like we have 5 people planning to attend (mharris, apex virtual assistance, mhoyte , VYassist and me) but of course drop-ins are more than welcome. The more the merrier.

Does anyone need directions to Panera? If you want to map your way, the address is 8200 Mall Pkwy # 100, Lithonia, GA.

Hello Ladies-
I am still at the start up phase of my business, but am looking forward to meeting you all in the near future. I live in the Lithonia area, unfortunately, I do work F/T and will not be able to meet and greet this Friday....

Ladies,

I sincerely apologize for not making it to the meeting as I had planned. I hope it was fun to meet everyone!

Hello everyone, today was out first VA meet-up and it was great. We learned and shared helpful information geared towards our business. Thanks to the ladies that attended, it was nice meeting you all. We will meet again next month and it will be posted on this thread the date, time, and place with an RSVP request. Happy VAing !

Hi, everyone. I wholeheartedly agree with Mary. Our first meetup on Friday, April 24th was really nice. It felt great to meet with other VAs from the area to exchange ideas, network and support each other.

For our next meeting, we all agreed to having a light agenda. But don't feel you have wait for the meeting announcement from us to share your ideas about agenda items or about what you want to get from the group in general. You can post on this forum or contact Mary or me via PM.

The group also felt it would be good to rotate meeting places throughout the metro-area (mainly the South/East Metro area for now). However, our invite is open to all Metro ATL VAs, those new to the business as well as the seasoned pros.

Feel free to pass invites along to other VAs you know in the area who don't belong to this Forum yet.

VYassist, we understand that sometimes things just don't work the way we plan them to. Hope we get to see you at the next meeting.

Here's to a productive year!
