I went to a CCWF meeting on Tuesday. This group meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month, at the Aqua Terra restaurant in Southington.

I’ve been to two meetings, as a visitor, and have had a great time on both occasions. This is an energetic group of women with diverse backgrounds and businesses, who all come together to network, and discuss various aspects of being in business.

The food is always excellent, and there’s a lot of energy and excitement in the room. That’s due in no small part to the hard work and efforts of the leadership team, headed by Shirley Bloethe, who owns several businesses, including Jitters Coffeehouse, and Pass it On Sports & Fitness.

At the last meeting we learned about the new focus of WXCT AM 990. They have decided to focus on Women’s issues for their new format, and the CCWF will be a part of that, hosting a weekly program, Tuesdays at 1 PM.

Also, because the group is large and they just don’t get enough opportunities to talk to each other, they are starting an open house women’s networking event at Jitter’s Coffeehouse 1273 Queen Street in Southington RT10. The first meeting is this coming Wednesday, Nov 23rd.

The cost is $5 and includes coffee or tea, and desserts. No reservation required.

You can find contact info at the website of the Central CT Women’s Forum.

Of course, you know they really need a blog!
