Dear RSFBPW Members and Guests:
With the days getting longer and Springtime just around the corner we leap into March with a renewed sense of excitement!
We also celebrate St. Patrick's Day this month. But, are you aware of the actual history of this event? Who is the real St. Patrick? How and where did St. Patrick's Day begin? What role does Ireland play in all of this? Does the whole world celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Here are some fun facts to enjoy!
St Patrick was actually NOT Irish. He was born in Britain. He spent most of his life travelling all over Ireland establishing monasteries and setting up schools and churches that helped him to convert the Irish country to Christianity. Secret word is shamrock. He is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.
The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in New York City and is the oldest civilian parade and largest in the United States.
Chicago is famous for a somewhat peculiar annual event: dyeing the Chicago River green. The tradition started in 1962, when city pollution-control workers used dyes to trace illegal sewage discharges and realized that the green dye might provide a unique way to celebrate the holiday. That year, they released 100 pounds of green vegetable dye into the river-enough to keep it green for a week!
Growing up in the Midwest, March was always welcomed because it usually meant Winter was almost over! I'm definitely ready to have the daffodils and lilies bloom and get back to our warm San Diego weather!

Shout-Outs and Testimonials
|
We may
run out of time at our meetings to share our testimonials for each other's services, products, and community announcements. We encourage you to write your praise and mail an email or note to the member who you want to applaud. Send your friends a special email sharing your testimonial about the member you are highlighting. Post your Shout-Out on our RSFBPW Facebook page and on your own FB page.
We offer Shout-outs and testimonial time at the end of many of our meetings, however it depends on the time left after our speaker has concluded their presentation. We do not offer testimonial time at our November and December meetings because of the length of the program. We encourage you to pass out your information, flyers, handouts and community announcements during the open networking time which is between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
You may also want to use your 20 second commercial time during the meeting to share your business event or announcement with the group and invite interested members to pick up a flyer with more details in the back of the room. Thanks for cheerfully working with us!

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFBPW members
|
Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation. |
Have a clear and concise message. Screen real estate is valuable on mobile, so keep the content here simple and focus on the essentials. Think about the goal of your email. Do you want people to shop online, come into the store, share a sale with friends via Facebook - or maybe you just want them to read an article on your website? Whatever your goal, it's important to make sure you have one before hitting send.
