El Presidente no longer!

Well, it's that time of the year again - a change is in the air. A new Executive means time for me to stand down and take a seat in the bleachers!!! I will have to relinquish my title of El Presidente :(

Having said that, it will nice to sit back and enjoy breakfast once again! I look forward to a different perspective as Steve Boyce takes over my role and Bill Munden takes up the VP role - after they get their tans topped up that is!!

I have really enjoyed the last year as VP & Pres and I have also learned alot from my time doing it. Thanks to everyone for your support, feedback and kind words; especially my fellow executive members - Marybeth, Lori & Dolores.

Question now is - do you want me to maintain the Fall River BBC Blog? I am willing to do so if the interest is there so let me know by voting at the top of this blog!

Thanks!

BBC Jeopardy

A great big Thank You to the Dartmouth Business Breakfast Club for hosting a great Networking Event at the Holiday Inn Halifax Harbourview Hotel.

Great MC job Ed. BBC Jeopardy! was great fun - (who knew our members were so competitive!) Kevin, Anna, Helen & Catherine were super host/hostesses. A super location too. Speaking for our club - a great time was had by all!

Looking forward to visiting you guys at home for the double 90-second trade!

Thanks from all of us to all of you!

Out of sight . . . .

. . . . but not out of mind!

Delighted to hear that Dee & Dana Govang arrived safe & sound in BC - a 6100 km drive to their new home! Rumour has it Dee has gone back to work, leaving Dana to unpack all the boxes. That's what I call a modern woman!

Keep in touch Dee.

Blogging for Business

Thank you to all of you who attended the Blogging Workshop last Friday - I had a great time and from the feedback I have got so far, you guys did too!

The Gold Star for Action goes to Jeff Doyle - within an hour of leaving the workshop Jeff had set up his own blog - check out the Smiledog Blog.

If you missed out, I am planning to run it again in March or April, so let me know if you are interested. To read more about the workshop click on the title above.

More Congratulations!

One Life Surf School and Spa takes Bronze in the New Business of the Year category at Halifax Chamber awards 2008.

Well Done Janet

The Halifax Business Awards are intended to recognize those businesses and business people in Halifax who exemplify the best that our city has to offer: innovators who are willing to take chances, push the boundaries and stretch the limits for success.

Forty-nine businesses and business people were nominated for the 2008 awards show, which took place last night January 31, at the World Trade and Convention Centre.

And our very own Janet Ozon won Silver in the category of NEW BUSINESS OF THE YEAR for The Adelaide Respite Inn . Janet, I am sure I speak for all the group when I say we are proud of you, your achievements and we are delighted to be part of your community. Speaking for myself (shameless promotion here!) I have been priviledged to do some Coaching work with Janet and I look forward to hearing more great results in the future.

Well Done Janet!!!!
