Good Morning Greetings!
Had a lot of fun yesterday at our lunch meeting, can't wait to speed network with you ladies again soon.
In case you were not able to attend yesterday's meeting or you missed the announcement, our next lunch will be held at the gorgeous Heritage Ranch. We are proud to announce that we are again Adopting a Family through Women's Outreach. We will have more information to share with you about the family in the first week of December and know more about what the family is looking for.
If anyone is interested in donating a Silent Auction item for the December Lunch with the proceeds going to Women's Outreach Adopt a Family program, please contact Audrey at audrey@integratedfinancial.ca for more information.
Lastly, we are happy to announce that the Holiday Inn 67th will be hosting us again for the 2012 year, by waiving there room fee for us again and making sure that we have a continued strong relationship together.
Happy Remembrance Day!!
In Flanders fields the poppies blow, 
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

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.
