2012 has begun as a very interesting year for the Women in Business Network.
At our first Members meeting we had a very informative presentation by Nancy Swift preceded by the completion of our first survey.
Ray Dawn was introduced as new Secretary of the Board but unfortunately that was the shortest term ever as Ray Dawn had to resign due to her heavy workload. We thank Ray Dawn for the time she spent in assisting us and wish her great success in her growing business.
Our New Secretary of the Board is Marilyn Taylor. We all look forward serving with her on the Board and all the other meetings and organizational events we are scheduling to bring order to this wonderful organization.
The New Year Celebration was a great Success! I wish to thank Amore for helping me as much as she could during her busy schedule! A tremendous appreciation goes also to Jane Prestergard and Jane Seely, for washing the dishes, to Noorah Hansen, Alloou Guthmiller, Ray Dawn and her boy friend for helping set up and clean up, to Marguerite and John for the great pictures, to all of you who brought the wonderful food, wine and refreshments and to all who attended. We had great fun! Thank you Lesa for opening your Gallery to us as a free gift of love and for all your assistance in making this event so happy.
Once again I have to mention that we have a wonderful group of Women who are making a great difference in this community.
A warm Welcome goes to our newest members: Haruko Sasaki, Joie De Fond, Maryam Rumi and Wanda Welbourn.
As you read on today’s announcement, the Best Western has increased the fee for the buffet breakfast from $5.00 to $6.50. The good news is that now we are not obligated to pay for every person who sits in the room but only for those who eat breakfast. They have also included just drinks such as coffee, tea and juices for $2.50. Your presence at our meetings, your ideas, and comments are a very important contribution to the development of Women in Business Network and to your personal business.
Finally I wish to thank Danielle Signor for her commitment and professional behavior in her position as Web Chairwoman. We can all notice the difference and while I am retrieving all the information that has not been included on the Web for several months, she quickly helps me in improving it every day. She just gets it done. Great job Danielle!
I request that you notify me by e-mail if you see any discrepancy, if you are a paid member and your name is not on the directory, if you wish to post a special announcement for your business or if you have any questions about your business and WIBN.
Please make sure you read the minutes of our last meeting to be able to approve and discuss them. They are posted under Members Area. You can make a copy to bring to the meeting if you prefer.
I wish you Joy and Prosperity and look forward to seeing you at our breakfast meeting on February 1st .
