Christmas is coming

Announcements/News This Week

We are pleased to announce that Stephanie is now an official member of the Breakfast Club. Even though she got the tight spot this morning I am sure we will see alot more of Stephanie and look forward to learning more about her business.

Angela and her team at the Laker won the Community Booster of the Year award at their Chamber of Commerce dinner this week! Any photos Angela?

Catherine is selling the idea of a Holiday Home - only 5% down . . . . sounds like a deal to me!

Steve brought a r referral to the table for Dee which was prompted by Dee's talk last week - proof positive that education work. The more we know about a person's business, the better chance we have of being able to refer others to them.

Bill was the first to mention Christmas this week - lots of gift ideas at Advantage Frame & Mirror - we'll hear more about that next week as Bill is our speaker.

Joan continued the Christmas theme. She can provide gift certs for travel/vacations. Janet & Dolores also echoed the Gift Cert idea for The Adelaide, also Dolores for Mary Kay.

Liz talked about the recent B2B Expo that Jeff had kindly provided tickets for. Liz got a great referral from a company who attended the Expo.

Jeff told us he got a great lesson in Networking 'properly'!! Another networking colleague of Jeff's introduced Jeff to some of his contacts at the Expo and Jeff has added 70 new contacts to his list. Now to convert some of those to customers.

Dee is off the West Coast for 2 weeks to see her Dad who is recovering from a recent operation. While she is away she wants us to remember any referrals for her will go into the IG draw with a chance to win $10,000. See previous entries for more details on this.

Boyd is catching his breath before the next busy time and will happily assist anyone who wants to reduce their income tax . . . . that should be an easy referral for alot of people!

Lori not only reminded us about the upcoming Pleasetakemycard event, she also brought in coupons for us all to register FOC (no income tax deduction there!). All you have to do is ask a question - check out the website if you haven't already - a great idea!

Marybeth had an interesting statistic - 78% of the population spend some/all of their working day a a desk, which usually implies a PC too and therefore are at risk of developing RSI. Prevention is better than cure, talk to MB about it.

Eleanor would like to thank all of you who returned the questionnaire regarding which workshops to run first . . . . watch this space for dates & more info over the next few weeks.


This weeks Speaker was Louise. I think Entertainer would be a better word than Speaker. As always, Louise brightened up our morning by getting us all singing & chanting. Celine was disappointed she didn’t get to join in! Louise is just back from Kindermusik Convention and is bursting with new ideas, games, toys, songs - just as well she got her voice back!! Take it easy, Wheezie - I think we could incorporate a regular weekly vocal workout.


Next week’s speaker is Bill Munden - it will be Bill's first time up and we are looking forward to hearing all about Advantage Frame & Mirror.


Referrals

We had 20 referrals this week and Liz won the prize from Louise which is on order from Chapters!
