Social Media Breakfast Red Deer celebrates golden milestone
It started out as a small gathering among friends and has grown to become one of the most popular monthly events in our city.
Social Media Breakfast Red Deer held its 50th event Thursday morning at The Scott Block Theatre, a milestone that seemed like somewhat of a pipedream when it started in November 2012.
“When we started out, we went from having like 20 to 30 people to attend; it was super hard to get sponsors, super hard to get speakers,” remembered Brenda Sargeant, Team Lead for Social Media Breakfast Red Deer. “Then it just grew and grew and we got different team members helping out and planning it. Now we’re up to today, we had 150 people.”
Sargeant admitted there were times where she had doubt over the future of the event.
