San Francisco audiences and critics alike feel a special connection with the smash hit musical Wicked and its history in the city by the bay. Wicked had its world premiere at San Francisco's Curran Theatre on May 28, 2003. This opening followed a long development process during which the entire creative team and cast immersed themselves in the brand new material at the Curran theatre to launch a spectacular phenomenon that has since redefined theatrical pop culture. Wicked returned to San Francisco in the summer of 2005, where it played an unprecedented 6-week limited run selling out every seat for every single performance. Since having its official Broadway opening at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30, 2003, Wicked has been sold out at virtually every performance, breaking house records with box office receipts of over $1.4 million per week. It has been called "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" by the New York Times and "a cultural phenomenon" by Variety. The Washington Post said Wicked is, "a breathtaking success story, of a magnitude the theater has not witnessed since the peak years of The Phantom of the Opera." WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch. "Wicked was launched in San Francisco in 2003, and if that was when you last saw it, boy do you have a treat in store. This astonishingly beautiful musical is welcomed home with a real, deserved and sincere standing ovation. -Contra Costa Times/Oakland Tribune

The San Mateo Professional Alliance is a business networking and leads club and we are looking for additional members. The club provides each member with valuable opportunities to promote his or her business or profession and to network with other business owners. Our goal is very simple, to expand each member's business! To do this we meet regularly to have lunch, to learn about each other's businesses and professions and to exchange business leads. The meetings run for about an hour. Each member and each guest provides a short introduction to his or her business and explains what kinds of business leads, customers and clients the person is looking for. Then, one of the members delivers a 15-30 minute promotional presentation to the group telling all the other members in more depth about his or her business or profession, the types of products or services provided, and what distinguishes the member's business from its competitors. The club's membership is limited to only one representative from each type of business or profession. As a result, all tax and accounting referrals go to the one CPA in the club, all real estate legal matters go to the one real estate attorney in the club, everyone looking to buy or sell a home or condo are referred to the one Realtor in the club, everyone searching for a home loan is referred to the one real estate lender in the club, and so forth. At the meetings members may display and distribute business cards, company brochures and other informational materials. A member will exchange a business lead when the member believes he has information about someone who could benefit from another member's services or products. Business referrals are exchanged and the lead may be as simple as the name and phone number of a person the member wants to refer to another member of the club. This exchange is a very powerful tool! Wouldn't you like to have 25 other business owners referring you business from their current and future customers and clients, friends, relatives and acquaintances? Club members are highly motivated to expand the club's membership base because additional members will produce more business leads and general networking opportunities for all members of the club. Club dues are very, very low - $60 per year. Membership in the club gets you an automatic listing in the club's website and in the club's printed brochure (one time fee of $40). Unlike most other business leads clubs, our club is run by and solely for the benefit of the members. We do not pay high dues to some distant central ownership organization. We are currently involved in a membership drive and are looking for new members in several categories of business. If you would like to increase the opportunities to promote your business or profession, to network with other business owners like yourself, and to increase your client or customer base, call us. Or join us any Wednesday at 12:00 noon for lunch at the Spiedo Ristorante in downtown San Mateo located at 223 E. 4th Avenue. Or call Mike Foor, Realtor at (650) 430-6500. Or contact Mike Foor through his website at http://www.mikefoor.com/ We also have an informal networking session for 15 minutes just before our one hour meeting and another informal networking session for 15 minutes just after the meeting. So come early at 11:45 am if you like or stay late if you have the time between 1:00 pm and 1:15 pm and network with lots of other business owners.
