July 16, 2020 ~ FREE RSFbpw Virtual Meeting
|
|
Dear RSFbpw Ladies and guests:
OK
, it is another Wow! Here we are, halfway through the year and I am having serious withdrawal symptoms not seeing you all in-person.
I am truly thankful that we can celebrate the Independence of this great Nation on Saturday and truly hope that you all get to enjoy the day with your families in a safe and enjoyable way. After a fun day, we usually sit on our balcony, in our favorite spirit wear, watching the fireworks at Aviara, Legoland and La Costa Resort – I guess, this year, I’ll have to rely on the sparks off my BBQ instead!
Every month is special; however, July is extra special to me. Not only is it my birthday month
😊
but it is also National Moon Day on July 20
th
. I remember as a young girl sitting on my grandfather’s lap while we listened to the radio (we had no TV in South Africa at that time), when Neil Armstrong stepped on to the moon and proclaimed “
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”.
What a magnificent era, secret word is moon, and I recall my grandfather was absolutely in awe and excited that he got to experience this historic moment with his grandchildren. Do you have stories from that time?
July also reminds me of the birthday of Nelson Mandela, a man who rose above all, who promoted a message of forgiveness and equality and who came to be elected President of a new South Africa. His birthday is July 18
th
, which is now International Nelson Mandela Day. One of my favorite quotes from his beautiful book, Long Walk to Freedom, is
“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right”
. He lived up to those words and proved to be an awesome and respected leader.
Our July meeting is traditionally our Hat Day. Even though we cannot meet in person, let us knock our zoom room out the park with fun and funky hat gear. Join us during the open network time so that we can all do some early viewing and I invite you all to participate in the voting process. A few exciting prizes are up for grabs too!
As businesses, retail and recreation outlets attempt to reopen, let us be respectful, kind and supporting of the many small businesses, and especially the businesses of our members, as they continue opening.
While the Board was hopeful that we would meet in person this coming month, we have been advised by the Club that they are to remain closed to large groups until the end of July for now, so our next meeting on July 16
th
will be via our wonderful Zoom Room.
See you all with your hats on!
Let's pack the ‘online-room’ for our FREE July 16 meeting 11:45 AM - 1:30 PM.

It was never Diane Halfman’s plan to walk the streets and become a prostitute, yet alone get involved with vicious gangs and narcotics, but her life choices put her in grave circumstances. Danger became a way of life for Diane forcing her to carry a gun in her hand every day for 10 years. You see, Diane Halfman was an undercover cop for the San Diego Police department. Her job was to infiltrate the gangs and prostitutes, bust the John’s, bring’em down and clean up the streets.
Diane understands fear and survival instincts -she lived them, and knows what it takes to find your grit, perseverance and power to push through any challenge. After being medically retired from the police department as a result of a training accident, Diane took her years of experience along with her Masters in Human Resources Management and Certification as an Ultimate Game of Life Coach to pioneer the creation of her own company called SpaLife.
SPA is an acronym for Seek Power Always. Her podcast, “Live Your SpaLife” is a call to action for all women to define and create the life they truly want.
As the Reality RESET Specialist Diane Halfman travels the country speaking, consulting, conducting workshops and seminars dedicated to helping overwhelmed women entrepreneurs move from a life of emergency to emergence. Diane possesses a unique set of skills and life experiences that allow her to coach, guide and demonstrate the very techniques she used to RESET her own life and those of countless others.

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.
