April 18 ~ RSFbpw Luncheon-Meeting
|
|
Dear RSFBPW Ladies and guests:
Happy Spring!! We've all heard the phrase "April Showers Bring May Flowers" - well, we've had plenty of showers over the past few months!! I had the opportunity to witness Mother Nature at her finest driving to Las Vegas two weeks ago and seeing the Super Bloom at Lake Elsinore and the Mojave Desert. It was truly (secret word is poppies) breathtaking and I highly recommend you take the time to check it out!
We all know what April 15th represents TAX DAY! If you are not happy with the results of your return for 2018, why not reach out to one of our awesome members to help you make some changes in your business so you keep more of the money you make! It's all about planning with a purpose! Let our lady professionals guide you!!
We are distributing our new Directory next month and you'll notice we have some availability in a few categories for new members. Why not take a peek on line at www.rsfbpw.com and check out the updated member list. I would like to encourage each of you to post on social media inviting other professional women to join us for our April meeting. Sharp women have sharp connections! Remember, they can come as a guest for a few meetings to see if they think RSFBPW is a good fit for them before they apply for membership. Even if we don't have an open spot in their category yet, they can still network with our group until one opes up. We have three people per category. So invite away ladies! Let's pack the room for our April meeting!

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.
|
|
If you are interested in becoming a member of our women's Rancho Santa Fe, Business and Professional Women's Association, you must attend two meetings as a visitor, then apply for membership. We have 3 members per category, and if the category is not filled, you can submit the application to one of our board members for consideration. If the category is filled, we encourage you to continue to attend our meetings and network with our members. You can apply when the position opens. Any questions about membership, Contact Sarah Morgan at Sarah@SarahMorganPhotography.com, or call 858-414-9646.
