Lynn Finley – Juice & Java


This week our 10-minute presenter will be Lynn Finley from Juice & Java. Many of us have utilized the meeting areas of Juice & Java to meet with one another for one-on-ones and meetings with our clients. They also have a wide variety of Smoothies, Coffee and Muchies, as well as special meeting areas.
Lynn will be sharing her well-liked coffee trivia in her presentation, as well as telling us more about their coffee roasting services, which is better known as Finley's Finest. Lynn's husband, Matt, roasts the coffee himself at their Eastchester location and create a signature blend for anyone!

The perfect referral for Lynn is any restaurant that is looking for a premium coffee to offer their customers. It's not often that you get a delicious dessert AND a great cup of coffee to go with it. Finley's Finest wants to be able to change that! Throughout your week this week, please keep Lynn Finley from Juice & Java in mind so we can invite guests that may be interested in learning more about her great tasting coffee (and smoothies)!

Get Well BNI Members!
We've had quite a few Diamonds out for medical reasons in the past few weeks. Let's all keep them in our thoughts and prayers and wish them a speedy recovery. Remember to send them a Get Well greeting to cheer them up and to remind them that you are thinking of them!

Congratulations to Jeff Hyle
Jeff Hyle will be leaving our group in order to serve our country by joining the Army National Guard. Next week is going to be his last week with our group, so let's all wish him the best of luck! (By the way, Ryan says to call him GI Jane).
