State of the Community

by Nancy Cantor

As I prepare for my journey to Ecuador, October 6-17, I feel that I want to be in communication with my support community.   

 

Our community continues to grow with new ideas that come from our members. Deb Strafuss started a group birthday party for all the September birthdays; Kim Reddington, Deb, Ellen Keiter, Mary Carol Lodge, and Carla Cataldo. What a great time.  Check out more pictures on the Ning Site

 

 

 

 

sept luncheonWe had a great Dream Factory Luncheon in Medway thanks to our speaker, Amy Parker, Medway CDO Judy Giovangelo, and Lisa Campion's great space at Solstice.  We had a second great Dream Factory Luncheon in Framingham thanks to our speaker Maria Salomao-Schmidt and the Leadership Team which has taken on all the administration duties.  68 people attended luncheons this month.  

 

Recent new members are Jo Crawford, Christine Galvani, Maria Salomao-Schmidt, Wendy Cotton, Velinda Barriere and Janice Wilson.  Returning members include Dianne Martz and Nicolette Blanco. And Bonnie Wallace, Beatriz Sanchez, Lisa Campion, Carolyn Carleton, Barbara Chisholm, Lisa Craycraft, Maria Piedra, and Manon Theriault renewed their Dream Factory Memberships.

 

Prosperity Circles are growing.  New Prosperity Circle Leader, Janice Pronko, will be starting with three members in October.  Forty-four people in total are in Prosperity Circles, including leaders Deb Strafuss, Katia Stiefel, Leslie Ackles and Elaine Gabrielson. Thanks to their leadership all those people are living their dreams.

 

109 members are in the Dream Factory Community.
