| Message from Christi Millar, AWE Women's Business Blaster Producer |
 A little more than a week has passed since the AWE Women's Business Blaster and I think I'm just starting to come down from the high! I could not be more pleased with the outcome. As the event progressed over the two and a half days, I became increasingly proud. Our goal for the event was to provide inspiration, resources, and connections - and I think we achieved that. I saw looks of inspiration on women's faces (plus Terry and Scott!) while they were pounding away on African djembes during Jaime's session on opening night - or while listening to David Chilton share his recipe for success.

Everyone will remember Kim's good gossip exercise from the conference. AWE staff collected the information and have compiled it in a list. We don't know about you, but many of the AWE staff have already looked at the Nutrogena Microdermabrasion kit! We're confident you'll enjoy Google searching the following products/services.
- Scrabulous option on Facebook
- Calgary restaurant Bravo on 17th Ave
- Pee Pals - help with toilet training
- Sweet Mango Restaurant on Whyte Ave in Edmonton
- Rainex on your glass shower door - water beads and is easily cleaned
