MDBWA OCTOBER 2010 NEWSLETTER

President's Message

Hi Everyone,

As I type this message I am looking outside to the beautiful fall colours and realizing just how lucky I am to be able to enjoy such pleasures. I am also very lucky to be apart of this awesome association where women can come together and share their stories and learn new and exciting tools of the trade. You can never have enough tools in that there tool box of business!! My hope is that each one of you take at least one thing from each meeting you attend and apply it to your business. Every new change you do today is more than you did yesterday!

This month we are going to learn about networking in a new and fun way. Some of you may already be on that fast track of networking. I am just a newbie with this and am very excited to learn more! Please make sure you read this newsletter right to the bottom of the page, Tara has worked hard to make this newsletter full of great information on business and also what is happening with the Association.

I would like to extend a great WELCOME to all our brand new members this year and to WELCOME BACK our past members. Without YOU - we wouldn't be....

Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Shirley Cowdrey
MDBWA President
