Directors' Reports
Membership Report We had a great turnout at the Oct meeting with 18 guests attending, and now have 71 members to date.
At the November 1 meeting we will be drawing for a free membership. Last year we had a "Bring a Guest Campaign". Members who brought a guest who then joined our Association would have their name entered for the draw. There were some members who had more than one entry. Good luck everyone.

Program Report
At our November 1 meeting, the "power networking portion" of the meeting will allow each person to provide a two-minute summary of his or her business and what represents a good lead for that business.
To facilitate easy networking, "runners" will get a stack of the business person's cards before each one starts to speak. As the speaker completes the presentation, audience members can raise hands and will immediately be handed the speaker's business card before the next presenter starts. This will make it easy to connect during the post-presentation part of the meeting or for follow-up at another time.
In addition to the power networking, there will be two spotlight presentations by members Rina Knoesen, owner of Architectural Design by Rina Knoesen and Kathy Seymour, owner of Getting In Touch. In addition, the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce will provide a short presentation on the Chamber, with focus on member benefits, including the availability of the Chamber website and Facebook page to help members grow their businesses. This presentation will be by Dianne Hawkins, Executive Director, and Terri Perrin, Marketing Coordinator for the Chamber.
Rina Knoesen has been providing architectural designs for homeowners
since the 1980s. Some of her projects are renovations or additions, and others are new construction. She works with clients on Vancouver Island and around the World.
Kathy Seymour, a healing art
s practitioner, has been working with individuals to feel healthier, relieve pain, andlive happier lives by combining a variety of modalities-Reiki, aromatherapy, Shiatsu, Jin Shin Do, chair massage, reflexology, and others.
