Missed our Last Dash & Dine Business Event? Don’t Fret!

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Alan Sears

TBL Networks is holding another Dash & Dine business networking event Thursday, October 2nd!

Dash in, meet and greet with TBL Networks’ account team, mingle over a few appetizers and drinks, and dash out with dinner to go for your family (you’ll be the hero!) And just like that, in no time at all, we will be acquainted… or reacquainted!

During our time, we would like to make a quick introduction to TBL’s Limelight PCaaS — Private Cloud as a Service.

TBL’s Limelight PCaaS is priced as a monthly, per user expense. This structure allows you to plan on predictable costs to offer services as your user-base expands. You no longer need to worry about adding another user and reaching the next inflection point resulting in a costly expansion of the system. Best of all, this means that it’s an operating expense — no huge outlay of capital dollars. Instead, Limelight PCaaS offers the scalability to grow or shift priorities, giving you ultimate control over your bottom line. Finally, you can have your cake and eat it too, with your own Private Cloud as a Service.

Say that you will join us:  Thursday, October 2
4 – 7 PM (drop by for the 30 minutes that’s best for you!)

Where: Maggiano’s Little Italy
11800 W Broad Street, #2204
Richmond, VA 23233
(Look for us in the BAR!)

RSVP by September 30th on EventBrite

TBL Networks says “Play Ball” with the Richmond Flying Squirrels

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Steve Glissman

Earlier this year, TBL Networks received the opportunity to raise funds for CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation (AKA CJSTUF), a wonderful local charity that raises funds to provide financial assistance to families of children with chronic and life threatening illnesses. As a contribution to help CJSTUF, the Richmond Flying Squirrels generously donated the chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Squirrels’ game. This gift was auctioned at our charity virtual golf tournament, and the winning bidder was no other than TBL’s own Patrick Tredway.

Despite the looming threat of rain and potential for YouTube infamy, Patrick found a way to focus on the task at hand, and, most importantly, not embarrass himself. While his pitch might have been a little high, the ball easily made its way into the catcher’s mitt.

Special thanks to the Richmond Flying Squirrels for their generosity in their donation and their continued support that they provide to the Richmond community. Finally, please take the time to follow CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation on Twitter or “Like” them on Facebook to learn more about how you can help this great organization.
