Greetings!
Welcome to the August
Newsletter for
the Dream Factory, a community of
women
entrepreneurs who are committed to living
their personal and professional dreams.
We will introduce you to ideas and
opportunities that
will
support you in taking on your life, your
work, and
your world.
August is a good time to connect with like-minded
people and expand your referral and client-base while
doing interesting, fun, outdoor activities. Anytime
can be a networking opportunity if you are focused on
what you are creating.
Featured this month are two water events;
one at a
pool and one on a lake. We have team-building
exercises, poolside, at our August Women in
Business Luncheon.
Then we have Family Fun Day at
Wayland Town Beach, August 15th, 12-4pm with
a
rain date for August 16th. Both events will provide a
natural setting for networking and fun.
The last summer event is part of a Women's
Empowerment Series led by Nancy Cantor, August
25th,
11:45-1:30pm at the Bella Costa Ristorante
sponsored by the MetroWest Chamber
Women's Initiative. Topic: Honing Your
Networking Skills.
Learn what it takes to be a successful networker.
On Wednesday, August 26th, 9:00am-
4:00pm, we are
featuring our CDO Training. Recent
participants said: I am inspired, I got to
express my hopes and dreams, and it was
very helpful in providing a focus and direction.
Check out your new fundraising raffle---all proceeds
go to cancer research. Win prizes and make a
difference.
Want to make the most out of your summer?
Have
fun and do the best networking you have
ever done.

I am also lucky enough to have my home, my heart
center, be located near a beautiful lake, with a
family
friendly beach.

the opportunity to offer a place to help her to fulfill
one
of the desires in her heart; meeting the families of the
members and friends of the Dream Factory
Community!"

relaxation, and family-friendly networking.

Support a Great Cause; Win Dream Prizes
|
|
Want to support a great cause and be eligible to
win great prizes?
This past week I rode 165 miles with my Stem
Cell Cyclist Team in the Pan Mass
Challenge to
raise money for cancer research; specifically for
Dana
Farber.
As part of my fundraising, I partnered with a friend and
longtime rider, Glenn Kaplus, who was diagnosed
with leukemia a year ago, to create an event at Dana
Farber called: It Takes a Community to Cure
Cancer.
We had representatives from the cancer-curing
community attend: riders, donors, doctors and
patients.
Although I will probably never be an oncology doctor,
I
am a donor and a rider; and chances are that in my
lifetime I will know many cancer patients and may
even be one myself.
I have committed to doing everything in my power to
have
the best resources available to the doctors, the
patients, and the facility that is making cancer
curable.
Our event was a huge success and as a result--I
have
another idea. We had some great prizes in our
silent auction that were $300+ in value.
I have decided to create an opportunity for any of
my
additional donors during the month of August to
be
eligible for a raffle for these items.
For every $25 donated you will be entered to
win one
of these prizes. Donate $100 and you will
have 20 chances. This is new today so go for it
and be the first to win. If you have already donated,
just donate $25 more and you will get chances
consistent
with all you have donated.
There is a wonderful Personal History
Package--offered by Nancy Coppelman,
where you have a private consultation--review your
pictures--have them scanned--and then have a
beautiful web gallery created in someone's
memory or that
captures a special event. It is worth
$600 and
you must live within 1 hour of Holliston.
The second is a Photography Package offered by
a local photographer worth
$300+.
Have a private sitting or make a request for capturing
a special moment.
I will be putting
together a business consulting package that will
include another coach, for entrepreneurs that
will be worth $300-500 or more.
There may be more prizes available as we go--so be
generous and build your chances for getting one of
these Dream Prizes.
You can make your donation online or mail a check
made payable to: PMC/Jimmy Fund and send
to
Nancy Cantor, 27 Tri St, Ashland, MA 01721. In the
memo or comment area--say which prize you
want or which ones you want your chances to go
to.
Remember-it takes a community to cure cancer
and you can be part of the cancer-curing
community just
by donating. Good luck and be generous.
The
drawing will be August 31th and be announced in our
September Newsletter.
