Celtic New Year

Announcements/News This Week
Yes, some of you were warm when I posed the question, "Did anyone know what was special about November 1st?" It was in fact Celtic New Year, so HNY to you all!

Jeff was on form this morning as he showed off his Selling skills and his cool new Funky Wrap - if you weren't there, you missed a good show!

Angela and her team at The Laker are very proud of the fact that the ratings are in and their circulation figures are up - I didn't catch the actual figure, Angela, so let me know if you want it published.

Louise was in Halloween form but didn't sing her Bat song this week - saving it for the kids.

Janet picked up the All Saints/Souls theme and told us that Adelaide is the Patron Saint of Parents - a very fitting name for her establishment.

Marybeth explained to us how she has been helping kids in schools - just one more aspect of her target market.

Lori reminded us all to register for the Please Take My Card Event - remember you can't just turn up, you need to pre-register. All you have to do is ask a question.

Eleanor will be promoting her workshops very soon - thanks to all of you who returned the questionnaire.

Catherine wants us all to know she can pre-approve people for mortgages, so if you know anyone thinking of buying, they can lock in for 90 days with Catherine.

Stephanie brought copies of the latest Fall River Chiropractic newsletter - hot off the press with news about the clinic, sports tips and exercises.

Lynn will be 'visiting' the Halifax (BBC) Club for a few weeks and may be defecting - I mean moving - there. Lynn, we will miss you but we won't forget you - and we will save you a seat at the Christmas Party table.

Speaking of Christmas Party - Catherine Fitzsimmons has offered to host it. Thank You Catherine. We do have to pick a date though. Very hard to find one that suits everyone, so Friday November 30th is planned, but not confirmed. Please let me know if you can make it on the 30th, if not we are considering Dec 1st, 7th or 8th. If you have a preference, let me know asap.


This week's Speaker was Bill Munden (I got it right this week :)).
In addition to learning a little more about Bill himself and how he ended up here in Fall River; we learned about the services Bill & Joyce offer at Advantage Frame & Mirror. In addition to Custom Framing and Shadow Boxing (Bill brought along a few examples of both), Advantage F&M will be showcasing local artists starting in January. An excellent example of Joint Venturing. If you haven't already done so, drop in and Say Hi.

As usual, the benefit of learning about someone's business is so that we can bring in leads for people around the table, so make an effort to tell someone you know about Bill's business and bring in a referral next week.


Book(s) Of the Week
Check out Money, Meaning & Beyond - a great book just in print - excellent ideas for marketing your biz!

The 100 Year Lifestyle Bill mentioned that he wants to live to be 100. I believe this book is an excellent read if you are planning on doing the same - or anywhere near it!

Network Event
Anyone who has not let me know about their plans to attend (or not) the Network Event on November 21st, please do so asap. A simple 'Yay or Nay' is all that's requested!
