An enthusiastic group met January 30, 2015

 Members are looking forward to opening the group up to women outside of Scripps Ranch
Carmella said, "As long as they are willing to travel to Scripps Ranch, we'd love to have them join"

Our 5-minute speakers:

Carmela Kramer, is our group's Realtor. She offered an opportunity for us to state our goals for the year. We each jotted 3 goals on an index card.  Carmella collected them and promised to return them to us next year.  Since written goals are more likely to be achieved than those we just think about, I"m looking forward to reviewing them next January.

Carmella also talked about purchasing  rental property out of state.

Annette White is discontinuing her Jockey clothing line.  Instead she  is going back to her roots as an  insurance broker.  She is an expert in a variety of insurance products as she has been selling it for many years.

Our main speaker

Becky Forrest: One can see the joy Becky has in representing Mary Kay Cosmetics. She is
quite informed about the many benefits of each product.  Samples were available for all.

Comedian John Heffron jokes about being, “clutter-blind’   put a bag of trash in front of the door and he’ll manage to step over it or on it without slowing him down.   If you’re like John, you won’t need Diane Halfman.  But if you’re suffering from oxygen deprivation cause there’s  too much stuff around,  than you’ll love Diane Halfman.  Whether you're emotionally attached to things, or have trouble making decisions about  whether to get rid of that old VCR player, Diane simplifies the process with her ‘love it or leave it” attitude.   Since women usually wear only 20% of their wardrobe, why not just keep the things you love.  Then leave the rest to the thrift store for someone else to love.

June 27, 2014 Meeting

June 27 Meeting: Today's meeting was a bit different. We had a professional speaker, Janet F. Williams who talked about the 7 Motivators for Effective Communication. She brought her Kirkus winning book "You Don't Ask, You Don't Get" which was available for purchase for those who wanted more info on the 7 Motivators. Carmela asked for volunteers to help take over some of the jobs that Julia was doing and many members stepped up to the plate. Thank you so much for volunteering and helping to make this the best networking group ever! Our next meeting is Friday, July 25th. Our Presenters are Paulette Millander, Christine Davies and Dr. Nikki. Will you join us?

June 8, 2014 Game Night

June 8 Social Event:

Acey-Duecey was the game to play and Paula was the gal to beat. Great hoots and howls were heard as the ladies placed their bets. On a quieter note, Julia and Dr. Nikki exposed Alexandra (age 4) to her very first game of Scrabble and when she left to go help her mom (try to) win at Acey-Duecy, Julia and Dr. Nikki created some of the best 14 letter Scrabble words (un)known in the Scrabble world. The food was great, the wine flowed and Heidi, bless her heart, brought her very popular AND healthy chocolate dessert. What would we do without Heidi. Thanks to everyone who came to Julia's: Carmela, Christine, Heidi/Alexandra, Paula and Dr. Nikki.

May 30 Meeting

May 30, 2014: Yummy home made food, lights and blinds that go up and down automatically and 20 amazing women who stood in two circles facing each other and having a hilarious time telling the other amazing woman facing her about herself, speed dating style. Amps went from quiet listening to hysterical laughing, giggling, hoots and hand holding. We had to get the bull horn to quiet everyone down for the serious conversation of change of command. Julia has decided to step down and take on the role of member only (and vetting of prospective members) while Carmela opened a discussion about member's taking on some of the responsibilities Julia assumed, so as to keep the group running. Heidi volunteered to gather intel on the question of showing up every month for meetings and members should call her with their input. Anyone who would like to assume all the duties Julia has taken care of in the past should contact either Julia or Carmela to discuss. A notice will go out regarding volunteer positions that can be filled. Our next meeting is June 27 with guest speaker, Janet F. Williams, author of Kirkus winner "You Don't Ask, You Don't Get".

Scripps Ranch Community Fair

Sunday, May 18, 2014: We had a booth at the SR Community Fair today. Volunteers who came to help out were Paula, Heidi, Nikki, Julia, Mary E., Betty Jean, Mary De, Paulette, and Carmela. Thank you all so much for all of your help, drinks, set up and take down and most importantly, schmoozing with prospective new members and talking about the current members of our networking group and the products and services they provide.
