After all the class of 2008 smack talk, they only had one class member show up. I’ll pause here so you can all scoff….congratulations to the Class of 2005 with the most participants, and Heather Busse, winner of the stay at the Nines.

During the evening, we were all discussing who the next prize donor should be – we’ve had two hotel donations from previous class member (thanks to the Portland Marriott and The Nines). My suggestion to Elia Popovich, 2005, and Foster Pepper attorney (hint, hint) was an hour of legal services. Maybe two.

I proceeded to ask him two questions and he told me my bill for $300 was in the mail. Just like an attorney.

We hope to see you all next time, and of course, prize donations are always welcome to info@leadershipportland.com, and we’ll work out the details.

The Class of 2008 is doing some smack talk about the fact that they show up at a 5:1 ratio, and normally take home the prize, (the class with the most attendees is put in a drawing) last month – a one night stay at the Portland Marriott.

Join us — in an economy like this — can you afford to pass up networking and, ahem, free drinks?
