Hello RSFBPW Ladies,
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful days of summer in fabulous San Diego!
We are so lucky to have so many amazing outdoor activities to enjoy in our beautiful city. Like many San Diegans, we have friends and family who visit us from different parts of the world and it is so nice to relax and spend time with loved ones with our feet in the sand, dining at spectacular restaurants, betting on horses or just enjoying the sunsets!
Summer seems to always fly by, and as a working Mom it can be difficult to stick to routines and make sure my kiddos bedtime does not drift into later hours of the night. I often struggle with a work-life balance since the days are longer, and the weeks feel too short.
I think its important to give ourselves grace when life gets a little out of sorts and remember to live life inside of every moment we have! We never know what tomorrow can bring us so I allow myself to breathe and stay present, even when I decide that some things need to wait.
I always look forward to our meetings. I am so excited to learn more about all of the new ladies who visit us each month and want to participate as members in this amazing group of professional women who love building long-term friendships and who want to support one another!
We wanted to thank our delightful guest speaker in July, Sohalia Zyba, who kindly stepped in the day of our meeting to get us up on our feet and helped us learn to command attention and to shake our hips with her belly dancing lessons. Our original speaker for July will be our speaker this month.
Please remember that open networking starts as early as 11:00am, so come early to network, shop and purchase some of our members wears, and we can't wait to see who will win our raffle prizes in August which supports the Shades of Pink Charity we have selected as our 2023 Charity Recipient.
Warmly,
Jill Harris
W
We can't wait to see you August 17th!

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).

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.
