President's Message
This upcoming dinner meeting, Dianne is going to show you great ways to help get yourself organized so you can spend more time working your business and less time trying to find things! You won't want to miss this meeting.
Also our last months speaker Christine Forsyth is bringing her information for you all about her "Out There Marketing" and how it can help your business! I would like to give a big shout out to Christine Forsyth for being "Midlands Most Talented Senior 2011" Christine won first place at the recent Seniors Got Talent Contest. Congratulations Christine!! You Rock!
I would also like you to think about getting some of your promotional items together and be part of the 4th Annual Business Women of the Year Awards being held March 22nd. Each guest that attends will receive a great gift bag filled with promotional items - why not be one of them?? Please contact our own Maureen Reid from Meridian Credit Union to see how easy it is to promote YOUR business at this great event!!
Please read your newsletter in full so you are kept up to date with all that is going on and hopefully you will get some inspiration from our book of the month and article as well. If you have any suggestions for article or book of the month, please send them directly to me. Thank you in advance.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again, and meeting our newest members!
Until then, be safe and have FUN!

by Douglas Merrill, James A. Martin
Crown Publishing Group | March 16, 2010 | Hardcover
Whether it''s a faulty memory, a tendency to multitask, or difficulty managing our time, every one of us has limitations conspiring to keep us from being organized. But, as organizational guru and former Google CIO Douglas C. Merrill points out, it isn''t our fault. Our brains simply aren''t designed to deal with the pressures and competing demands on our attention in today''s fast-paced, information-saturated, digital world.

How Are You Using Your Power?
By Karen Keller, Ph.D.
What does it mean for a woman to find her voice? Voice is not only speaking. It’s listening, responding, and being heard. It is purpose, identity, imagination, and beauty.
Your voice was created the moment you were conceived. Sometimes it has been shut down – flattened. Nurture it. Don’t take it for granted.
All women are gifted with a powerful voice. A voice for expression, meant to impact others and transform the world in small and big ways. Your voice shows in your relationships, with God and others. Start searching for your voice – finish these statements to begin the journey on finding your voice.

February Dinner Meeting
Date: February 16th, 2011
Where:Olympia Event Centre, 2 Robert Street, Penetanguishene
Guest Speaker: Dianne Desroches from Top to Bottom Organizing
Helping You Find the Perfect Home for Everything You Own
Top to Bottom Organizing provides professional organizing services for homes and offices in the Penetanguishene and Midland area. We can help you start a new, clutter-free life today!
Do you feel overwhelmed by clutter in your life? Are there rooms in your home that you don’t use because they’re stuffed full of “stuff”? Don't know where to begin to organize your home office, clean out the garage, bring some serenity to your bedroom or finally organize your basement?
Dianne assures clients that professional organizing does not mean that she will come in and make them simply “get rid of stuff”. Instead, she offers thoughtful guidance, support and ideas for how to make the most of their rooms and possessions. As you’ll see in the customer testimonials on her website, finally getting organized can be an emotional process, and clients appreciate Dianne’s kind approach that brings a compassionate sense of humour to what can be a challenging process.
