May 20, 2021 ~ FREE RSFbpw Virtual Meeting |
|
Dear RSFBPW Ladies and guests.
Happy May!!! Spring is in full swing and gardens all over San Diego are looking especially lovely this year. Our garden is looking great and so many birds have returned as well as a few nests, so we are enjoying watching over them.
May represents the month of appreciation for so many amazing women! May 5th is Teacher Appreciation Day, May 7th is Military Spouse Day, International Nurses Day falls on May 12th this year and of course, we have Mother’s Day on May 9th.
I loved our Member Showcase last month, learning so much from our newer members as well as seasoned members. So much information and an opportunity to learn so much more about our lovely members and their businesses. Secret word is learn. Be sure to sign up for the next Showcase, which will be in October.
We are currently working on updating our website and you will notice that we have a new logo - fresh, updated and empowering. Visiting our website at https://ranchosantafebizprowomen.com you will notice that the membership directory has been updated and we have some availability in a few categories for new members. We still have our membership drive running, so we would like to encourage each of you to invite other professional women to join us for our May meeting. Sharp women have sharp connections! 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 opens up. So invite away ladies! Who knows, you might walk off with an Amazon gift card!
Have you done business or met with a member of our group lately? We will have the opportunity at our meeting to do Member Shout Outs, so if you have something special to share about another member, please come ready to let us all know.
Let's pack the room for our meeting on May 20th!
Our meeting will start at 11.45am. See you then.
Please scroll down for additional information for the format of this meeting.

Kathryn Rogers, founder and CEO of Maya Moon Co., launched the company following a 10-year career in strategic brand management and executive leadership in the wellness and sustainable food sectors.
After building a successful farm-to-table catering company from the ground up in San Diego, she decided to pivot the Vivacious Dish LLC brand to launch a packaged food product. Maya Moon Co. was born out of her love for sweets and an allergy to processed sugar: so she set out on a mission to create a decadent treat that made her and her customers feel amazing: body, mind and spirit.
Today, Maya Moon Co. organic cacao truffles and drinking chocolate are sold online to customers nationwide, and her first retail Chocolate Cafe is opening this summer in San Diego.
We will take a deep dive into the world of chocolate from sustainable sourcing to production, and learn how local company Maya Moon Co. is turning the highest quality Ecuadorian cacao into delicious, healthy treats.

You are invited to participate in the monthly drawing for members only by bringing and talking about your donation during the drawing portion of our meeting. You can place your items for sale on 1/2 of a table located in the back of the room before and after our monthly meetings, from January through October.

You can post announcements for your products, services or events on our Facebook Business Page and participate in our LinkedIn Group page.
Monthly speakers are the only ones allowed to place their information on the luncheon tables during our meetings.

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 - Director of Membership at Sarah@SarahMorganPhotography.com or call 858-414-9646 |
