West End Connectors

A networking group part of the TwoTwelve organization. And who knows, you might be able to do the same for one of us.

Two Twelve Networking is unlike traditional referral networks in the fact that we only pass PERMISSION based referrals, NOT leads. If you or anyone you know is looking to expand their business sales and/or network, we would love to see you/them at our table. Come out on a Monday, 3PM, to Park Lane Tavern,
take 50 minutes or less and tell us how we can help position you for a quality referral.

Elle McGowan-Pike of Elleos Marketing brought the perfect blend of creativity and expertise to our meeting, leading us through a fun “Guess That Logo” game while sharing powerful insights on branding.
Her ability to turn marketing strategy into an engaging, memorable experience is exactly why she stands out in her field, and we’re grateful for the energy and knowledge she shared with our group.
Kylie emphasized that strong connections lead to strong businesses. When we invest in genuine relationships and offer value to the people in our circle, we create a foundation of trust and support that pays off long-term.

This week’s 212 meeting was full of energy and inspiration!

Our Member Spotlight featured Kylie Stonebraker, Marketing Manager at Cavalier Moving, who led us through a fun “Moving Personality Quiz” to uncover whether we’re The Planner, The Minimalist, The Stress-Packer, or The Over-Boxer. It was a creative reminder that everyone approaches life’s transitions a little differently and that’s what makes teamwork so powerful.

For our Mentor Moment, Sommer Baumfalk shared an important message about surrounding yourself with people who uplift and motivate you. Growth happens when we’re supported by those who believe in our potential, not those who weigh us down.

Another great reminder of why 212 is more than a meeting, it’s a community of growth, support, and shared success. 💪

Angela from Usher Insurance took the spotlight and led an engaging, hands-on activity that turned insurance education into a game!

10/13/2025 - This week’s meeting had two awesome moments worth sharing 👏
Fred Levine from the Levine Mortgage Team powered by VA Wholesale Mortgage led a fun “Fact or Myth” game that cleared up a lot of confusion about mortgages, from credit scores to VA loans and renting vs. buying. It was the perfect mix of learning and laughter, and everyone walked away a little smarter
Then Kylie Stonebraker wrapped things up with a powerful Mentor Moment:
“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them. Progress happens when you take action and move boldly.”
That one hit home. A great reminder that growth doesn’t come from waiting; it comes from showing up, taking chances, and moving with purpose
Here’s to creating our own opportunities and pushing forward together 💪

10/6/25💡- Member Spotlight – Kylie Stonebraker
Kylie from Cavalier Moving led a fun and interactive spin-the-wheel game. Attendees answered moving-related questions like:
“What room takes the longest to pack?” (The kitchen)
“What day of the week is busiest for moving?” (Friday)
“What month marks the peak moving season?” (June)
Each correct answer earned a gift card, making the session both informative and enjoyable. Kylie showed how small, practical tips can make moving easier and highlighted the importance of engaging, hands-on learning.
Mentor Moment – Aaron Persily
Aaron from MassMutual shared a story to illustrate a key lesson. When everyone cuts corners and “waters down” their effort, the results fall flat. Bringing your best effort matters, whether in business or networking. Aaron reminded us that when we show up fully, we make real connections and meaningful impact.
We’ll see everyone next Monday at 3:00 PM at Farm & Oak! Stay tuned for our next Member Spotlight and Mentor Moment.

Fred Levine had our Mentor Moment today as well, and closed with an inspiring Chinese proverb, reminding everyone that even the longest journey begins with a single step. It encouraged us to focus less on the overwhelm of a big goal and more on consistent, actionable steps forward. By doing so, even seemingly impossible ambitions can be achieved over time!

See everyone next Monday at 3:00 at Farm & Oak! Stay tuned for our next Member Spotlight and Mentor Moment!
