Good Morning Greetings!Greetings!  

 

Did you know that pumpkins were once believed to cure freckles and snake bites? Now they are a favorite scary faced porch ornament and of course our favorite pie. 

 

We had our first Coffee Club meeting last Friday, were you able to go?  Are you interested in this new chance to meet other Independent Achievers?  or would you like  to meet some of our members one on one on you own time.  Read below how to get notified about the Coffee Club's meetings and be apart of the Business Card Swap.

 

Just a friendly reminder to RSVP for our next lunch meeting on Thursday, November 10, 2011.    

 

Happy Trick or Treating!!!

 
Coffee Club

 

Do you have some free time today and wish you had a group of ladies to join you for coffee?  Well join our coffee club today and you will receive notifications on when other coffee club members are going for coffee and where, or send out an email to other members and invite them to join you for coffee.

 

If you are interested in participating in the coffee club please:

 

  • Email Audrey at audrey@integratedfinancial.ca to get your name on the list of members;
  • Remember that this is a casual atmosphere and there is no obligation for you to attend every coffee meeting;
  • Once you sign up other members will not have access to your personal email but a general group email that forwards to all participating members;
  • If you are the Coffee Member suggesting a meeting time and place we strongly suggest that you provide your information for other members to RSVP to.  Otherwise, you will not receive any information on whether or not anyone is coming; and
  • When you send your participating RSVP back to the coffee member who suggested a coffee time and place the only information provide to that member will be your name, once again your personal email or information will not be given out. 

 

We are currently working on getting the email address up and ready to use, once we have a list of participants we will provide all with the necessary information needed to participate. 

 
Business Card Swap

 

The business card swap is a great opportunity for you to meet other Independent Achiever members on a "One on One" basis.  

 

It's easy to participate, all you have to do is drop your business card in the Business Card Swap box at our next Lunch meeting and when you leave the meeting you grab a business card out (not your own) and contact that individual for a coffee, lunch or even dinner.  You will also have another member contact you for a one on one meeting, so you are getting two, one on one networking meetings a month if you wish to participate.

  • The sponsor has the ability to put a small display or table tent on each lunch table with a promotional piece.
  • The sponsor will have an 8 1/2 X 11" display card placed with our Dessert and Coffee table.  They are also allowed to place some additional display materials on the Dessert table.
  • Your business will be highlighted with the Lunch Reminder notice when it is sent out, and the weekly announcements.
  • And last but not least, your sponsorship includes a '2 minute spotlight' chance to speak during the lunch itself (this may be adjusted if a guest speaker is on).
