Hello Everyone!Well, we are mid-way into August, and it's time to update you on our upcoming WIN meeting and recap July's meeting. I want to thank everyone who attended the July meeting and let you know that our membership has increased from 10 to 15!
The August meeting will be held again at the Bonfire Restaurant on Thursday, August 31st from 11:15 am to 1:30 pm. Please RSVP via email or phone to confirm your attendance. (Please note that if you have confirmed your attendance but cannot attend, please let me know no later than the day before so that I can inform the restaurant otherwise I will be billed for your meal and will unfortunately have to forward that cost onto you). I am still researching other venues for our lunch meetings. If you have any suggestions please let me know. As our membership grows we can also start looking into having our meetings catered.
Our speaker for the August meeting will be Karen Bambrough of Weekenders. The new Fall line of Weekenders clothing has arrived and Karen will be putting on a small fashion show to "show-off" the great styles and colours of this new collection. You don't want to miss it!
REMINDER 1: Don't forget to pack a small door prize to bring with you as this gives you another opportunity to introduce yourself to the group and pass along a token of you and your business (remember to attached a business card)!
REMINDER 2: If you are a member and are interested in speaking at one of our upcoming meetings, please let me know. Also, if you are interested in a vendor table for the August meeting the cost is $10.00 which gives you a table to "show and tell" and a 5 minute opportunity to talk about you and your business.
REMINDER 3: I am hoping to confirm our September guest speaker, Leslie Traill - Astrologer, Business Coach, Meditation Coach, Speaker and Mentor. Please let me know by the end of this month if you will be attending the September meeting, please invite a friend or co-worker to join us! You can visit Leslie's website at http://www.leslietraill.com.
THE BIGGEST REMINDER: Our first member directory and newsletter will be printed for the September meeting. Send me your business card artwork, a bio of you and your business, an upcoming event... this is free advertising for all WIN members! If you are unsure what to send talk to me at the next meeting. The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 8th.
