  ConnectOC began organically from a few friends who met each other through social media and thought, "Why don't we help others get connected as well?" From that sprung two events at Hilton Costa Mesa which brought together hundreds of Orange County professionals and businesses for networking events that were free - yet helped raise thousands of dollars for nonprofits.   It's been awhile since we had our last event, but we wanted to do something before the end of the year to get everyone together.  We worked with one of the premiere restaurants in Orange County, Scott's Restaurant & Bar, to secure a room AND get Happy Hour pricing until our event ends at 9pm. The cost to you? None!    So whether you want to see your old ConnectOC friends again - or meet new ones - our year-end get-together will be the perfect venue to help get you connected for success in 2012 and beyond.     Stay connected!
