| The Mobile
Business Group is a non-profit fraternal organization of businessmen whose
main mission is to promote each members business by referrals, sales
leads, and/or by doing business with a fellow member. It is also social in
nature in that we have social events (golf, fishing, etc.) and/or family
outings. In other parts of the country these types of organizations are
known as "Tips Club" or "Exchange Club". Only one
member is allowed per industry segment and/or type of business. |
| |
| How
often do you meet? |
| We
meet once a week, on Thursdays for a noon luncheon, which is strictly
limited to one hour. Members are not allowed to miss more than two
consecutive weeks, except under extenuating circumstances. |
| |
| How
do I become a member? |
| You
must first be "cleared" by a trustee member to make sure that
your business does not conflict with another member's business. Then you
must be sponsored by a member in good standing and come as his guest for
two consecutive weeks to meet the other members and to make sure the club
is something you would have interest in being a part of. Then you must
make application and be approved by the Board of Directors. There is a $25
non-refundable application fee. |
| |
| How
much are dues? |
| Currently
the dues are $145 per quarter, which includes your lunch each week. |
| |
| What
do you do at the noon luncheon? |
| First
we welcome new members and guest, then we have what we call an
"introduction & thank you" session where fellow members
introduce themselves and their guest then thank each other for business
leads and/or referrals that were generated within the club. Occasionally
we have a speaker on some current event (sports, political, financial,
etc.). The luncheon is strictly limited to one hour. NOTE: THE
BIENVILLE CLUB DOES NOT ALLOW BLUE JEANS, TENNIS SHOES OR SHIRTS WITHOUT
COLLARS. (KAKI PANTS & GOLF SHIRTS ARE OK) |
