FOCM Member Ceremony March 2017

Yes indeed, we are going back in time. I am still keeping to my commitment to not be more than 10 years behind in these. Can you feel the momentum?

So on March 31, 2017, having met Lindsay Burns (her last name then) Tiffany (her last name now) at the Council for Entrepreneurial Development (known in the RTP area as CED), we met for lunch. After explaining the FOCM network to her and applying the strict criteria for membership, Lindsay undertook the rigorous membership ceremony. As is quite evident, this was one of the happiest days of her life to that point. I do believe that the day she added Tiffany as her last name exceeded the happiness of March 31, 2017.

So then, while looking through photos on my phone I see that later that evening I managed to connect with Andrew Smith for a beer somewhere. Can anyone tell where we were? I am thinking it might be Bombshell Beer Company in Holly Springs, as it was conveniently located kinda on my way home to Wilmington and quite near where Andrew was residing at that time. I believe that of all the FOCM members, Andrew is the only one with whom (or is it who) I have worked at 3 different companies.
