December 19 ~ RSFbpw LUNCHEON

Dear RSFBPW Ladies and guests:
This newsletter is a little bittersweet for me. It's my last one as President. I can't believe two years has gone by so fast! Where did the time go?
I have so loved being the President of the board. It has given me such an opportunity to get to know the members in our group on a more personal level and I truly consider each of you a friend. I have loved the support and well wishes I have received along the way and look forward to continuing my relationship with you in this awesome group of women.
I always love our December meeting! This is our Holiday celebration and gift exchange. Please review the details further down in the newsletter so you know the Gift Exchange rules for our December luncheon.
Take time this month to let your friends and family know how important they are and how much you appreciate them. The holidays are so much more than goodies and presents! It's a time to reflect on how people have impacted your life over the past year. So many lessons learned and so many opportunities to give and receive.
I look forward to seeing you at our meeting on December 19th!
Be sure to register for our December luncheon no later than 5 p.m., Monday, December 16!

Solutions for Change breaks the pattern of homelessness and poverty for future generations of families. Homeless families gain stable homes where children can focus on their education without the worries of homelessness. Children finish high school, go to college and learn the value of hard work and determination. Solutions University teaches parents how to raise a successful household. The program includes counseling services,parenting, leadership, household finances, job skills training, work experience – plus housing, food, health services and childcare to give families a solid foundation to build a successful future.

Please remember to update your information whenever it changes, including new photos and logos. 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 should arrive around 10:30 a.m. to secure your half-table. You can share a 20 second commercial during our meetings. You can apply to speak at our member's showcase, some restrictions apply. 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 at Sarah@SarahMorganPhotography.com or call 858-414-9646 or contact
