A Few of My Favorite Things

In honor of the ZINO Society Team and all of their efforts in preparing for ZINO Zillionaire Investment Forum this year, this song is dedicated to Mary Holmes, Robin Moore, McKenzie Midboe (all three pictured above) as well as Rob Brown, RJ Humphries, Julian Tescher and Christine Gilbert. It should be sung to the tune of “These are a Few of My Favorite Things,” with abject apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Name tags with ribbons and notebooks in straight rows
Goldfish in glass bowls, wine bottles with gold bows
Beginning ZZIF (pronounced “zif”) sessions with urgent chime rings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Entrepreneurs pitching and coaches enraptured
When each investor’s attention is captured
Live streaming Twitter and tweets and texts pings
These are a few of my favorite things.

When connections are made ‘tween all in the room
And on the horizon, more angel funds loom
Zillion bills stuffed in safes, ‘til open they spring
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the chimes ring,
And no one sits down,
And on and on they chat,
I simply remember by favorite things
And I’m glad in spite of that.

Passed wine in glasses, hors d’oeuvres on a tray
Selected awards given at the end of the day
Photos of all with the new backdrop bling
These are a few of my favorite things.

Compelling sponsor exhibits and entrepreneurs too.
Members and guests strive to see it all through
Great keynote speakers, thoughts together they string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

The Four Seasons Hotel with their service so good,
Best place to be in the whole neighborhood!
Led by Ben, Bev and Kirk, “guest first” courtesy springs
These are a few of my favorite things.

McKenzie and RJ,
Robin and Mary,
Julian, Christine and Rob,
They are all some of my favorite things,
Together we do the job!

(once again with gusto)
TOGETHER WE DO THE JOB!

END!
