Great meeting this month!

This month we met at Karen Saks for a morning of deep thinking! Our guest speaker, Amy Meineke, of Window Works Studio, Inc. walked us through something that we all, as business owners, struggle with. Pricing. We learned how to take a good look at our business practices and see what really affects our pricing.

 

Sharon Coppede (shown here with our President, Rosemary LeBlanc) and Kathy Hynoski do a wonderful job of bringing us educational and vibrate speakers every month. Bobbie Cox and Amanda Smith help market our chapter meetings. You are always welcome and someone will be there to greet you at the door! This month, we thank Cynthia Mashburn for welcoming everyone as they arrived! We had LOTS of guests AND three new members!




Our Treasurer, Martha Pace, and our Secretary, Carolyn Rushing are shown here sitting with some of the attendees. 

  
We always have yummy refreshments, thanks to Lisa Williamson and Margaret Wells! We don't ever have to go without coffee and tasty treats.
