January 2010
A Message from the President
 Happy New Year!
We finished out December with a wonderful Holiday Social at Saks. From the member feedback, everyone (including me!) had a great time.
And, of course, we are already off and running in 2010.
We will have an extended breakfast meeting in January on the 15th from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. We will begin with our member tradeshow and continue at 9 a.m. with an educational program — Profit 101 with Eric Darmstetter and Nan Palermo of Salesbyfive. Many of you know Eric and his engaging and informative presentation style. Profit 101 is a proven program to help you generate new ideas for your business.
The cost for the meeting is our regular monthly meeting fee of $25 with an additional $25 cost if you would like a table for the tradeshow. Please see details and register at nawbosa.org or contact info@nawbosa.org.
Both An Income of Her Own® and ESA are in full swing as you can see from the information below.
Lunch Connection is on Wednesday, Jan. 13 and Cocktail Connection will resume on Monday, Feb. 2. I look forward to seeing you all there. You can see our full calendar of events here.
I always enjoy connecting with you. Feel free to contact me at president@nawbosa.org.
See you all soon!
