Gotham,

 

I sit here at the precipice of the new year looking at 2 emails I have from
members asking why they should rejoin and I am actually a bit surprised.  I
want to tell them to wake up in this economic environment you need all the
help you can get; even if you are getting by you just never know and Gotham
is a great place to get it.  I have found our members to me extremely giving
of their time and energy in helping me ride the economic roller coaster of
the last few years and so far keep my head above water.

 

I have been in the same place these members have been, I joined Gotham 5
years ago, the first year I  did not spend a lot of time with it; went to
lunches, posted once to fredslist.  Got the bill for the next year and was
faced with a dilemma to rejoin or not.  When I thought about how little
effort I had put in I figured I would give it one more shot, at least to
make the money I had spent already worthwhile.  I got more involved in
Gotham Green and other Gotham activities and the following year I started
Gotham Princeton. 

 

I can sit back and say was it worth it? Has it been worthwhile to join
Gotham.Absolutely!!!!! So here are my top 10 items from this year of what
Gotham gave to me and who helped me.

 

1.	A fabulous trip to Paris for my daughter and myself, thanks to Cheri
Elferis.
2.	A wonderful day at the high line thanks to Marc Halpert.
3.	Help acquiring my URL thanks to Jared Witt (and so much more legal
advice)
4.	Help reviewing my business plan thanks to Mitch Tobol. 
5.	Bookkeeping savior Rose Fisher came to my rescue many times.
6.	Thanks to Fred Klein for introducing me to Steve Mumford who is
helping me with my PR now
7.	Thanks to Michael Appel for putting me in touch with Scott Forshein
to help me with a traffic ticket in NYC, and for the other opportunities to
work together 
8.	My students at NJIT have a completed senior project thanks to Joel
Chadabe and the Electronic Music Foundation.
9.	Thanks to my co-networker of the year Corey Bearak in helping me
with connections in the NYC synagogue communities for my new business
initiative, and for his help with the Port Authority.
10.	And thanks to my sister Susan Zinder for convincing me to join
Gotham and for the constant advice she provides. I suppose she would provide
the advice anyway Gotham or no, but you never know J thanks Suz!!!!

 

 

There are so many more, so many relationships and friendships.  So I am
telling those of you who are on the fence to keep your membership in Gotham
and not only do that but get more involved, meet more people, reach out help
and get help.  I am in the city all of the time and would love to get
together and the next Gotham Princeton Lunch is January 20th!!

I am still surprised that I was selected and I suppose I should also thank
someone for naming me as Networker of the year so that is a general thank
you to all of Gotham. THANK YOU!!

 

I hope everyone rejoins and has a happy healthy and prosperous new year!!!!

 

All the best.

 

Josh
