What the future holds...

Seasons' Greetings!
As we face a new year we face new challenges; nothing insurmountable, but it's definitely not business as usual. Yet, I am still convinced that as long as we work as a collective unit, there is nothing that we cannot overcome. More than ever, we need to work together to uplift women (professionally and personally) as we address the issues of business.

We are not alone, networking groups are seeing a decline, for what ever reason – saturation, no time, no business… Regardless, this is not the time to stay in – this is the time to stay vigilant and work every angle possible.

If you are not visible – no one will look for you, they will assume you are gone. With this economy the best marketing tool and resource is you. I will repeat - you are your best marketing tool – clear, committed and hands on.

Use gatherings to investigate your company power, market stability, who are the decision makers, and build relationships (not clients).

Don’t just collect cards, make dates to follow up and be committed to that follow up for results.
Share information that can help others, and you will see that the generosity is returned.

Be genuine and be ready to do business at any given time.

The first meeting for WOTW –Gettysburg Network will take place on January 13, 2011 from 5pm – 7pm, at the Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel -in which we will decide the fate of the network. PlEASE RSVP lwherley@wyndham.com by December 23, 2010.

Networking can work - if you come out and participate!

I wish you all the best this holiday season and I truly look forward to seeing you soon.

Warm regards,


Carol Burns

Debra Howe (Tragic Accident)

Ladies,

I must regretfully inform you of the fatal accident of one of our own, Debra Howe. It was reported that, while vacationing this past week in Nags Head, her and her husband drowned.

As we learn more about the services we will keep you posted. Should you learn anything prior to our posting, please keep us advised.

We send our heart felt sentiments to Debra and Benjamin Howe's Family and loved ones as they mourn this untimely death.

I feel like I was just really getting to know Debra, she will certainly be missed.

Warm regards,
Carol Burns

Poll closed on the Casino question

No Answer is an answer...

SORRY ~ for the confusion, the lack of response I mentioned yesterday was for the cancellation of the trip to the Casino, not WOTW for tomorrow.

The WOTW will still be held held at the Wyndham Gettysburg (8/13/10, 5pm - 7pm). By the way I received (2) offers from local Business Owners that would like to host the WOTW in the next coming months, any more?

Again, sorry for any confusion. Come on over and enjoy a Tini with me ;-) Carol

WOTW -GETTYSBURG SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Women on Their Way -Gettysburg Network ask that you SUPPORT OUR TROOPS on MAY 22ND... This is not in lieu of our mixer, because without our Troops - there would be no mixer!
Please join us on May 22nd in the Pavilion at Battlefield Harley-Davidson of Gettysburg, Pa. from 1pm to 3pm for the 4th Annual Support Our Troops Day, an uplifting afternoon of presentations and entertainment to show support for our troops that are currently serving and honor those who have served our country to preserve our freedom.

Special Guest Speaker
Mr. Albert Snyder
Mr. Snyder is the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder who was killed in Iraq March 3, 2006. The Westboro Baptist Church, an anti-gay group based in Topeka, Kansas picketed his funeral bearing signs that read “God hates the USA”.
Mr. Snyder sued the church for infliction of emotional distress, and won an $11 million judgment in 2007. Snyder’s judgment was reduced and overturned on appeal, with a decision upholding the Westboro’s group right to free speech.
Recently the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Mr. Snyder to pay $16,510.80 of the Westboro Church’s legal fees.

Donations will be accepted during the event to help Mr. Snyder raise $20,000 to file a Supreme Court brief.

The event begins at 1pm with the arrival of the Mason Dixon Chapter of ABATE Color Guard. The Award Winning Chesapeake Harmony Choir will perform a special military medley and there will be presentations and entertainment throughout the afternoon.

We will also be collecting items for the troops – phone cards, powdered juice drinks,
I Tunes cards, AA and AAA batteries, playing cards, sun screen, shower gel, toothpaste and current magazines.

Please contact Meredith or Melissa at the dealership bfharley@bfharley.com or if your group would like to make a presentation.
EVENT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: J. LEVAN, BATTLEFIELD HARLEY-DAVIDSON

It's the right thing to do ~Hope to see you there! Carol
