September 2011 - Issue 8

 

Dear EWN Members & Friends:

 

September's kick-off luncheon celebrating EWN's 30th Anniversary with Fabienne Fredrickson of ClientAttraction.com sold out! Lots of EWN folks (nearly a third of attendees) chose to take advantage of her offers - I only wish I could do that much business in one afternoon!

 

In addition, we unveiled EWN's new logo and beautiful new name badges for our members! 

 

Be sure to fill out the September luncheon survey and tell us what you thought. Your comments direct the type of programming we offer!

 

Sign up now for our October 13 Morning Workshop to learn how to profit from social media! Crystal Girgenti will give us the tips to use social media to our revenue-generating benefit!  

 

On November 1, we'll be at 55 Wine Bar in Fairfield to enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres with some relaxed AfterHours networking.

 

And at our November 10 Luncheon, Karen Graves, founder of Your Sales Fix, will join us to help diminish our reluctance to sell ourselves, products and services.

 

Lastly, if you weren't aware, we are a small group of dedicated volunteers organizing and bringing this programming to you.

 

Frankly, we could use more hands. 

 

If you enjoy attending EWN events, please call or e-mail me to get involved!  We need Board and Committee members to regrow this great organization.  Don't delay - get involved, make new friends, contribute to your community.  You'll be glad you did!
