Please join Robert and me Saturday, July 23, as we take a 5K stroll around Historic Oxnard to raise funds for research for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Both my first cousin and a good friend have recently been diagnosed with Leukemia, and it is a devastating disease for both the patient and their family. Get specific info atwww.OxnardSalsaFestival.com for registration details. This event is held the weekend before the Salsa Festival. And, please let me know if you plan to participate so we can enjoy the walk together. Contact me at 805-388-9904.

Being at our meetings can really pay off! I met Alysa Espinosa at a meeting last Fall. At that time we were starting to look for flooring contractors to replace our Kitchen Floor. We interviewed several firms, highly recommended by various folks. One after the other fell by the wayside due to problems with price, scheduling, workers comp, no follow up, etc. Finally, I suggested to my husband that he contact 3rd Floor Design.

Thurs evening, May 12, we will be presenting our Spirit of Networking award. This is a very, very special honor earned by one of our members for truly embodying what it is to be a "Networking Queen" in the highest interpretation of those words. Please join us as we honor previous honorees, but especially to help us present this award to someone very, very special to our organization.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

Please visit my booth at our upcoming event! I'd love to meet you, and learn more about your marketing needs. I have a terrific handout, "11 Key Questions Trade Show Exhibitors Should Answer" for those visitors considering exhibiting at future trade shows of any size. Besides my fabulous door prize, I will have a drawing at my booth for an additional spectacular gift.

Be sure to let your friends know this event is open to the general public ($5 fee at the door), and is open from 5:30 to 8:00 pm at the Wedgewood Banquet Center, 5880 Olivas Park Drive, in Ventura.

Thank you so much to everyone for their lovely notes. I was so sorry to have missed the August meeting. I look forward to seeing everyone in September.

Friday evening Rita Frayer, Charlotte Gesling and I attended Gwenlyn's Artist Reception of her new show being held at the Coffee House of Peace Lutheran Church in Camarillo. The well attended event was a terrific showcase of Gwenlyn's talent. All pieces were lovely, from the smaller colored pencil pieces, through the incredible colored glass mosaic designs, and up to her Grand Polyptic suitably mounted on a bright red wall! If you have not seen Gwenlyn's work, you really should visit this show, titled, "Slices of Life" before it ends.
