"Cesar, It was a great insight to talk to you the last couple days before the new year starting. There is much to be said to finding good people as yourself to keep things in perspective. Recently, I've asked myself the same questions you proposed to me. The answers are not here yet, but I it was refreshing to know your insight and questioning me on my plans and further endeavors. So far, I've done the same to others but have not fully addressed them myself. Your observation and point of view on my person was also helpful as not too many close friends or colleagues would ever or do share such vital and direct feedback. So, I thank you for all that you have suggested, as I value your experience in all that you shared. Once again, I appreciate the time and effort on sharing your thoughts and experiences. Again thanks for your openness in making clarification/explaining your point of view. You are a very strong and passionate man about life and I'm sure things will change positively in your life. Keep your boyish smile and your spirit as it's perfect just the way it is. So a toast to you on this New Year and looking forward to seeing you more successful in years to come." - my friend Shirley

Oct 24-29, 2011, Vote for Cesar Plata for SF Bay Area Best Business Connector
NEWS - everyCircle.com won the award SF Bay Area's Best Business Connector at the 11/11/11 US Small Business Conference & Expo. Although we prefer to collaborate than compete with others (it’s all about sharing and paying it forward), this honor will allow everyCircle.com to get more exposure, which in turn will help us reach out to, and help more Bay Area businesses grow. We are truly grateful to all who voted - Thank you!
"Hello Fellow Professionals and friends, Thank you all for taking the time to fill out this quick voting ballot for Cesar. For (literally) two generations now, Cesar Plata has connected more businesses and professionals than any other single (now multiple) entity (that I know of) in the area. He has continued to work very hard, and has selflessly given so much back to all of us, not only ensure that the local markets (and professionals) have their place and audience, but to bring so many of us together to in a "fun" and enjoyable atmosphere, where networking and business development is considered a pleasure and less of an obligation. In short, he has kept many of us HAPPY (though I speak for myself) in our professions and careers even when the money, moral, and motivation have gone missing." Thank you Cesar, sincerely your friend and colleague, Gabriel Wintermute
"All day I was at the U.S. Small Biz Conference in San Mateo. Outstanding speakers like Ann Evanston, Eric Lofholm, Caterina Rando, Katrina Sawa - JumpStart Your Marketing, CJ Hayden, Joshua Zerkel. It was a great chance to connect with friends in person, face to face! What a treat. Fantastic networking. Cesar Plata won the votes for Best Business Connector in the Bay Area. Why am I not surprised? Cesar, you are the Networking King of the Bay Area. And he works his rear end off to make it happen." Ron Hori, Internet Reseller
"Cesar has consistently put those with business issues, ideas, ventures, etc. on the forefront of networking for the continued success of their livelihoods. In today's economy he has been steadfast and totally committed to helping others achieve their business goals." Danette Green, owner, Home Décor Accents

"
Thank you Cesar for a great Business Expo event at Club AutoSport.

Count me in for all your future mixers!' - Keith Warner, Pacific Business Centers, www.pbcoffices.com
"Cesar Plata (Founder, everyCircle.com) could easily be one of the top 50 connected people on Linkedin. He is an awesome networker. Every where I go, Cesar is there!

Someone you should know and who should know you." - John D. Waller, www.mobileconnectivity.com
Thu, Feb 17, 2011, Silicon Valley POWER Business Networking Mixer - Corinthian Grand Ballroom, San Jose Athletic Club
 ''I have a little story to tell. The last mixer I met Michael Bryant aka 'Barackalike', the Obama impersonator . He told me about the annual celebrity impersonator convention in Las Vegas, the largest impersonator showcase in the USA! I showcased there at the Gold Nugget on Tue, Feb 22. I won one of the prizes and only 3 singers got to sing at the opening of a long-running show called the 'Country Western Tribute Show', which has been running for the last 4 years, 6 nights a week. Well, on the Thurs eve I opened up for that show. It has never happened that a first timer person or anyone has been invited by a producer of a Las Vegas show to open. So I made history. You can verify the story if you google 'john demers as frank sinatra las vegas'. There is a national story about me in the examiner.com with my live act opening the show. So this is how networking can work. If I did not go to the everyCircle.com event and met Michael I would not have gone. And I'm getting calls from producers in Las Vegas too. See how networking can work! Sincerelely, John DeMers as Frank Sinatra
"My staff said that the Feb 17th event was much better and more successful overall based on location, attendance, quality of leads and of course the entertainment and food was A+. Thanks again for having us and we look forward to more partnerships and working together." - Irene Catral, Manager, Shipping & Mailing Solutions, Bay Valley District, USPS
Wed, Jan 19, 2011, New Year Grand Launch Business Networking Mixer - Medallion Steakhouse, Burlingame
I found the recent mixer to be a great resource as a workforce development professional, entrepreneur and community volunteer. The wide range of business/community/public sector attendees made this event both powerful and effective. I commend joint effort of the hosts EveryCircle.com, The San Mateo Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce on an outstanding event. I will definitely attend future events." - Keith A. Young, Business Services Representative, PeninsulaWorks Daly City

First I want to thank you Cesar - Everyone
was very animated and interested in what we were doing. Doreen did 24 chair massages!
Wow, she was on a roll! I have pretty much lost my voice from talking so much.
Believe me, I am not complaining. I had fun and met a lot of people. The atmosphere
was very energetic.

your events to folks all over Silicon Valley and look forward to the next. Kevin

able to network with past as well as new business contacts who have an interest
in supporting what I am doing for the Diabetes Society. While there are
various networking events held every month, yours' attracted the volume and variety
of attendees that made the evening quite productive. Not only that, it was fun
based on the entertainment and food served. Keep it up and I look forward
to the next one! - Glen Wong, The Diabetes Society

once again for making many networking events/opportunities available for so many,
especially Rainbow Italian Ice. The Silicon Valley Business Expo was a beautifully
organized event. Lots of people, lots of businesses and lots of smiles
and interaction. I love networking. There is a lot of work that goes into
producing events like these and you are doing a wonderful job of pulling it all
together. Rainbow Italian Ice always enjoys participating in your events because
the exposure is great and my product is always a hit. I enjoyed much success
and made many business connects, as well as made some money selling Rainbow Italian
Ice’s new prepackaged product that is “coming to a grocery store
near you”!! I look forward to your next event and appearing at many more
throughout 2007. Much continued success! Michael Dabney, Rainbow

• The Silicon Valley Business Expo was fabulous. It was lots
of fun and great to see so many enthusiastic exhibitors
introducing us to their unique products and services. We had a
fantastic opportunity to launch our new company in Silicon Valley. The
Secret Ring, LLC was introduced for the first time and we had more than
120 interested business professionals give us their business cards.
They want to know more about this new program that offers products from
the Teachers of the Secret and other Leaders. The Expo was unique and
elegant and many people said they were having so much fun visiting the
tables, eating marvelous food, and enjoying the fabulous entertainment.

Dear Cesar: Your mixer was a great networking event for the company. I
was able to promote that our company which is owned by the California Autism
Foundation http://www.calautism.org/ while
at the same time allowing the event attendees to sample our product. It was a
true Win-Win. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to work with you and
the other participants in your super mixer. I am hoping that all your events
are as sweet as this one. Thanks again for helping the San Francisco Chocolate
Company (SFCC) create a sweeter world in the southbay. Fred Bowe, SF

friends and continue to be helpful. There is a very warm and supportive aura

great leads that push my success forward. Thanks Again, Adrian Flores, AdrianFloresPresents

through my telescopes and experience firsthand the added value that a Sky Tour
would bring to their next corporate event or private party. Kevin Schuerman,

• You did a nice job. I think it is important to present
a nice mix of things as you do to keep people interested and interacting. The
fashion show, with food and wine tasting was a nice touch. The tequila tasting
guy was very good and provided great info on tequila that even I did not know.
