President's Message

Hello RSFBPW Ladies,

As we find ourselves in October, we are rounding out the final three months of the year! It is the final quarter to make an impact on 2024. As you map out your path to end the year successfully in business, I hope you will include a plan for things that matter to you personally and really "fill your cup."

Betsy Jacobson said "Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management. Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices."

With the Holiday Season beginning, we will all be pulled in a million directions. I know I can have a hard time setting boundaries with my time and saying "No" sometimes. Instead of viewing it as saying "No" to someone, I will try to look at it as saying "Yes" to myself and to inner peace. Please add self care and related items to your Holiday to do lists!

As always I am looking forward to connecting with you all at our next meeting on Thursday, October 17th. I can't wait to see all the fun costumes for our annual costume contest!! We have prizes, so come ready to win.

Please remember that we have open networking before each meeting beginning at 11 AM where you can meet and greet as well as shop and purchase goods from our members. (Members, you are welcome to one half of a table in the room to showcase your business).

Also remember to bring a basket to raffle off and/or buy raffle tickets to support our 2024 Charity recipient Alabaster Jar. Looking forward to seeing you all on October 17!

Warmly,

Jill Harris

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.
