Newsletter #1

Originally in email format but posted to blog for Archiving!
Welcome to the Fall River BBC newsletter - my way of keeping you up to date with what happens each week at brekkie - just in case you missed something because you weren’t quite awake, or missed the meeting altogether!!

Announcements
Martha informed us that we will likely have to cap membership at 22/23 due to space restrictions. It was suggested that we start a waiting list for the Fall River BBC, so if you know anyone who is thinking of joining, get in there quick - we have 19 members as of today and are expecting all to renew this month!

This Week’s Speaker
Joan brought us to Europe this week and told us of the benefits of an ‘off-season’ trip to places like UK, Italy, and France for a price similar to that for a week down South. So, if you know anyone who wants to do their Christmas shopping abroad, or simply needs a vacation (no reasons required), contact Joan @ 835-0078 or 1-866-993-8333.
Next week’s speaker is Lori.

News This Week

  • This week Martha brought along a guest - Bill Munden is the new owner of Advantage Frame & Mirror in Fall River. We look forward to Bill joining us again for breakfast.
  • Waverley Gold Rush Days is on this weekend and it sounds a whole lot of fun. Drop into The Adelaide for their Open Day on Saturday at Noon, after catching Louise’s Pipe Band in the parade. Check out http://www.waverley.chebucto.org/ for more info.
  • Louise will miss the parade because she is back to school - her new term has started and it’s a full house at Kindermusik again.
  • One of AMI’s projects this year is to create awareness about food for High School kids - donations are welcome & you can donate your Recycling at the Plant near Windsor Junction. Call Lori @ 576-2793 for more info.
  • Catherine Fitzsimmons is officially back to work at her new office at 48 Fielding Ave in Burnside. Best of luck in your new space Catherine!

  • Jeff’s son - Brandon Doyle – is Captain of the Lockview High Football Team - the Lockview SmileDogs??? First game is tonight (Thursday)

Referral Tip of the week
Keep it simple. If people can't easily repeat the words you use to describe your business & the benefits you offer, you will not fully realise your referral potential, no matter how well you do everything else.

Book of the Week - The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
“A groundbreaking and life-changing work, finding validation in its thesis that one's positive thoughts are powerful magnets that attract wealth, health, happiness…”
One of my favourites at the moment - also available on DVD - for more info check out Amazon.ca.
If you would like to share a book recommendation, send me the info.

ReMINDER ~ NETWORKING EVENT
Thurs. Sept 20th 7:30–9.00 (am) at the Ashburn Golf Club, Windsor Junction.
Please let me know your status re attending ie Yes, No or Not Sure yet – we need an idea of numbers asap. Marybeth has kindly offered to collect/organise door prizes so please let MB know if you are contributing a prize. We will have a product table so don’t forget to bring biz cards, brochures etc.

That’s it for this week – I am still working on the layout so it may change a little week-to-week. Please send comments, suggestions, feedback to me.

See you all next week ~ LNR.
