HELLO RSFBPW Guests and Ladies!
Welcome Ladies! Since February is the month of LOVE, let's focus on loving a little more of ourselves. We could all use a little more self-care in this fast-paced world we are living in. I am challenging you to find something this month you can do to care for yourself. Of course this will most likely look different for each one of us.
Since I am a super busy CEO and soccer Mom, taking time for myself usually includes horseback riding, getting my nails done, having a kid-free dinner with my husband and going to a happy hour to laugh with my girlfriends. For some of you ladies, you might enjoy walking on the beach, taking time to go to the spa, reading a book or soaking in a bubble bath. You might even try "goat yoga" (yes, this is a real thing!) Whatever you love, try to add a little extra time for yourself this month to recalibrate your work-life balance so you can value yourself a little bit more.
Audre Lorde reminds us that “Self care is not self indulgence, it is self preservation.”
Remember, our meetings are now at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club! Last month we had a record attendance and such an amazing meeting. Be sure to invite a friend to check out our friendly group, and come ready to build relationships and support each other's business!

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. This is offered to our members at no charge and your are encouraged to display your wares. You should arrive around 10:30 a.m. to secure your half-table. You can share a 20 second commercial during our meetings. Members are welcome to speak at our member's showcase meetings (held twice per year). Some restrictions apply, so please reach ouot to our Programs Director for details. 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.

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.
