Power of Women Exchange: POWE

WOW! What an anniversary celebration! Complete with balloons and sparkling grape juice! Thank you to the Membership Committee who helped to make this a meeting to remember! The energy in the room was stimulating and inspiring with 25 women in business ready to network! What a wonderful feeling seeing so many women in business making personal and business connections!

Thank you to my great volunteers:

Vann Gouweleeuw and Gloria York at the Registration Desk

Janice Rabethge of Weekenders who sold our 50/50 tickets

And also thank you to the Spotlight Speakers this month:

Denise Franklin of D’s Bookkeeping, who helped us understand what we can claim as small businesses, and what we can’t claim — sorry Jane… no manicure and hairdos!

Sandy Grenning of Unlimited Organizing Solutions, who encouraged us to clean up and sort out our “rooms of shame” (yes that would be me who has that!)… and also who has some unique solutions for seniors and long-term care patients…

Our wonderful table displays were as always the highlight of the meeting:

Susan Aitken of PartyLite as our May Feature Member Table

Darcelle Runciman of Hemlock Investments

Claudia Hancott of Shaklee

Jane Toombes of Muchmor Media

Four lucky winners walked away with our door prizes donated by:
