Scranton Women's Network

Wednesday was the February meeting for the Chamber's Women's Network. I've attended for several years now. I try to go every month since it's a great way to see people and network. So after the January meeting was over I mentioned that if they were interested I would be happy to do a presenation to the ladies at one of the luncheons. Mari was thrilled as were a couple of the committee members who happened to be in earshot. So they added me to the calender for the fall. Then a few days later, Mari calls to inform me that I've been bumped to April! Whew! that soon huh? Anyway, I'm thrilled and excited. I'm going to discuss how each person can look great in their own photographs - inlcuding what to wear and the importance of a professional portrait as well as how to pose and be ready when the office or family snapshooter comes around! I did this for a community group a couple years ago and it was very well received so I'm excited to present another version to the business community.

We hosted the Greater Carbondale Chamber of Commerce Mixer

Last evening we held the Greater Carbondale Chamber of Commerce's February mixer. It was alot of fun and we had a great turnout. As I made my way around the different rooms I chatted with people and it seemed like there were alot of good conversations going on. The turnout was about 40 people. There were alot of new faces from all over the area as well as many of the regular attendees. We played a little game and everyone had to write down what Valentine message they would NOT want on their heart candy. From those we drew for our door prizes. It was great fun and there were some really great messages. The event was 5:00-7:00 but there were people still in conversation at 8:00! It was alot of fun and I look foward to the other events going on this year.

Next up is on March 5th I will be displaying at the KidDilly Expo at the Ice Box in Scranton. Then on April 6th I will have a table again at the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce's Ladies Night, then later that month I speak at their Women's Network luncheon and on April 28th I will be displaying at the Geneva School's Taste of the Valley. Whew! Now that I look at it that's quite a schedule. But no rest for the weary, planning for these types of events so I have the right products for the audience is an important task. I better get things done!

Here are some images from the mixer last night.
