MAKING MEMMORIES SINCE 1955

 

Hello Veronica,


Happy March! If anyone is ready for the spring flowers it is me! My favorite months are spring and fall of course - great weather and wonderful colors!


We are already heading into 2nd Quarter as this year just flies by. There is so much turmoil in the world, so much hate and lies and disrespect. I'm very proud of our community continuing to be of love and acceptance, but most of all keeping ABC a safe space for all. Thank you.


Shelby Tuck-Horton introduced a great book - the 12-week year in our last newsletter. If you have had the chance to read it let us know what you think and how you are working to change some of your habits and mindset! I'm about halfway through and ready to figure out how I can implement this for ABC! Be sure to post in our group what your thoughts are and let us know what your favorite inspirational quote from the book is also!

Job Board & Internships


Dearest Esteemed Readers,


As the grand Season commences, one must not neglect the most delightful of opportunities! Pray, do remember to post your engagements—be it a singular affair or a grand succession of events—upon the esteemed ABC Job Board. Word has reached this author’s ear that many an eager protégé longs to accompany a seasoned member to a most enchanting wedding fête. What better way to secure assistance whilst also advancing one’s own distinguished designation?


Furthermore, one shall find mention of coveted internships, as well as the most tantalizing of prospects—why, only last month, several among our ranks found themselves poised for a turn upon the silver screen!


Do take heed, dear reader, and peruse the board with frequency, lest a most splendid opportunity slip through your gloved fingers.


With warmest regards,

Your Most Devoted Correspondent

IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE SELLING TRAVEL THOUGH ABC

Most of last year our members were confused on what was going on. So here is the skinny...


David Wood has decided to start his own travel agency - it is called ABC Wedding Travel.


Why? Not sure.


However, it is NOT AFFILIATED WITH US IN ANYWAY.


Nor, is David Wood associated with ABC anymore.
