Hello Everyone,

I would like to extend a big and heartfelt "Thank You" to all of our WiN members for making yesterday such a wonderful success! It was by far the best attended meeting to date!

Once again I would like to thank Adrienne, the staff and residents of Adelaide Place for inviting us into their home and allowing us to share with them and the community our products and services. A personal thank you to Mary Ellen Gerster for volunteering to do the 50/50 draw and congratulations to Kerry Jo Rudd on her winnings! Thank you so much Trish Rintoul for helping me out with the photography (view pictures below).

I am so happy to let you know that through our vendor tables, 50/50, and the October Lunch donations we were able to raise $200 and this year we will proudly donate it to Nancy Newton and Women's Resources in Lindsay. The Women's Resources provides services and support for abused women and their children in our area.

Remember we do not meet in January but will resume our monthly meetings starting February 2nd and Belinda MacDonald of Audio Transcription Services will be our guest speaker. I will forward out an email beforehand as a reminder.

Ladies Extravaganza - Vendors wanted
I am organizing a ladies night this fall and it will be held at the Lindsay Fairground or the Armories. I have been in charge of the ladies nights at Canadian Tire and for our local firefighters for the past 8 years.
The bonus for all of us---being business owners---we pre sell tickets so I can guarantee at least 300 people in front of you. We have put a cap of 500 tickets to be pre sold--there will be at least 50 vendors---and the most amazing thing will be our fashion show with our local firefighters....they have drawn a large crowd in the past and this is why we are able to sell so many tickets.
Our firefighters serve the ladies all evening and they also sell calendars and entertain.......

This is a very upscale ladies event and we are currently working on a theme---possibly a mascarade--beach or black and white night....this is still in the works.

If you are interested please contact me right away as I will not duplicate any business. It is a first come--first serve basis.
The cost is $100 dollars for your table and all proceeds go directly to the firefighter who then donate it back into the community to families in need.

Thank you ladies for another amazing meeting/ Christmas bazaar and tradeshow, the energy was fantastic! It was wonderful to see all of the products and services that our members offer! If you didn't get a chance to follow up with someone and need their contact information just let me know and I will do my best to connect you.

Through the $5 donation for the tables along with the 50/50 we are able to donate a total of $175 to a local charity. Last year we donated to Kawartha Lakes Food Source. This year I would like to donate the $175 to the Santa Claus Stocking Fund. Last year, through the Stocking Fund 823 children in the Kawartha Lakes area were able to enjoy a happy Christmas. Over 98% of donations directly benefit the children of our community. The Stocking Fund has great support from the local newspapers, businesses, BobFm and .... the ladies of WiN. Thank you!

Thank you too for your donations of non-perishable food items.

Here is our WiN meeting "line-up" for the New Year

Guest speaker spots are open to all members, please let me know if you are interested.

I usually finish each meeting with a note from the Universe but I didn't get to yesterday, there are 2 that I would like to leave you with to send you into the holiday season and new year....

It's not as if one day you'll look down and discover that you're on the yellow brick road, living the life of your dreams. But that one day you'll look back and discover you always have been.

What if it was your downtime, your lounging-in-bed-too-long time, your walkabout time, and your blow-Friday-off time that made possible your greatest achievements? Would they still make you feel guilty? Or would you allow yourself to enjoy them?

Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy your "downtime" you all deserve it!
Merry Christmas and all the very best for the New Year.

Warm wishes,
Heather

October - Meeting Proposed Location

2006-10-03T19:51:00.000-07:00

Hello Ladies,

As I have mentioned in the past I am on the lookout for a new location for our monthly WiN meetings. I would like to start the New Year fresh with a new location so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear from you.

In the meantime I have a proposed location for the upcoming October meeting and would like your feedback. Cathy Quinn of Spa by the Lake & Wellness Centre has offered to open her doors for the October Win meeting. Cathy is also a nutritionist and has offered to whip us up a fabulous lunch at the same cost of $15/person. Cathy's Spa by the Lake is located on Washburn Island in Little Britain. I know some of you are traveling from the northern and eastern parts of Kawartha Lakes and I wanted to get some feedback from everyone who is planning to come whether or not they are willing to do a bit of extra traveling for this meeting (approx 15-20min from the Bonfire).

Please let me know over the next couple of days if you are willing or not willing so that I can make plans for the Oct meeting. Note: Leslie Traill (Astrologer, Meditation Coach, Speaker and Author) will be our guest speaker and a Spa would be a perfect setting for her talk! Visit Leslie's site at www.leslietraill.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Warm regards,
Heather Chapman
