February 20, 2020 ~ RSFbpw LUNCHEON
|
|
Dear RSFbpw Ladies and guests:
It always seems like, as soon as Christmas decorations come down in the stores, the aisles are magically flooded with red and pink hearts. Yep, it’s February and V
alentine’s Day
is just around the corner.
February: the month of love and valentines. Love - a common language understood by many. Love is a beautiful thing that can take place in the life of any human being. Loving those who support and motivate us is something that lives within us and brings us comfort and warmth. Love is also the ability to promote a special and warm connection between us and our loved ones. It extends to our connectivity with our neighbors, our families and friends and our clients.
I do not see ‘love’ as simply a word and while I really love (sic) to be told “I love you”, I also see love in a gesture, as an emotion, as an outburst of warmth and gratitude. The secret word is love. For me love is deeper than simply
being
in love. Love is the smile on his face that gives me strength, the extra deep hug that builds my hopes, the strength in support of me and our undivided attention to one another.
And while February is Valentines’ month, a month filled with romance and maybe a gift or two, real love is a constant, all year round, kind of thing. Love is always in the air and I celebrate love every day. Per Celine Dion’s rendition of The Power of Love, I also believe that love (and the songs inspired by it), will never go out of style.
Have a loving February and I look forward to seeing you at our meeting on February 20th!
Be sure to register for our February 20 luncheon no later than 5 p.m., Monday, February 17th! Late registrations are not honored.

As a Member of RSFBPW:
Your contact and business information is placed in our directory, as well as on our website in the membership section. 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. Due to the size of our membership, we are unable to send out group emails to all members regarding a special event or announcement you may want to share with members. Be sure to post your announcement on our Facebook Business Page. Thank you.

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
