August 20, 2020 ~ FREE RSFbpw Virtual Meeting |
|
Dear RSFbpw Ladies and guests:
Wow, Summer has finally arrived in San Diego. I don't know about you, but I am really enjoying our sunny warm days. My best friend lives in the desert where they have been sweltering in temperatures well above 110 degrees. I certainly appreciate living at the coast, where I can enjoy the sea breezes that come through and still get to enjoy the outdoors.
August is typically a month when families prepare for students to return to school. School is sure to look very different this year, so whether kids are heading back to the classroom or learning virtually at home, they still need to be set up with school supplies. There are a few wonderful organizations that are working hard to ensure all our San Diego County children are prepared but they continue to need help in the way of donations or an actual backpack. Why not find out from your local school district whether there are students who need help in your neighborhood or contact One San Diego, San Diego Center for Children or the backpack drive organized by the Jewish Family Services of San Diego. Secret word is backpack. These long running organizations always need a little help. Delivering a backpack to the drop off zone always delivers a smile and heaps of gratitude!
We usually have our annual Fashion Show at the August meeting. Unfortunately, we will have to postpone this great event and replace it with something else. Your Board has secured an exciting alternative with a surprise guest speaker. Be sure to register for the meeting to enjoy the experience.
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 for yet another month, so our next meeting on August 20th will be via our wonderful Zoom Room.
Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces virtually! And let's hope it's not too long before we can meet in person again!
Let's pack the ‘online-room’ for our FREE August 20 meeting 11:45 AM - 1:30 PM.

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 |
