President -Vicki Gunvalson
Remember your goal setting for 2008, and remember why we are here... to put dollars in our pockets, to share tips because it builds our business's and it helps us grow and you become a better speaker. Your chapter becomes a family and we have fun together, we work together, we help each others business's and when we are out and about we can grab our caddy and if someone needs a hypnotherapist,.. hey I got a guy! .. provides source of referrals for your business so we have a lot of catagorys to fill and solidify, and thats what were doing were solidifying a referral base. Look at our Coto de Caza website if your not clear on what catagories are filled and you can always email me.


Program Chair -Carol Bridges ask's the board of directors to consider testimonials for our members and to have love notes printed to pass to each other during meetings. (could cut down the chatter)

LeTip Ambassador -Anna Vega would really like to thank the board for the wonderful job that they have done for our group, it was not very long ago that we had only 3 or 4 members and a lot of where we are today is because of the Dynamic Duo "Jeana and Vicki" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Membership Chair -Jeana Keough asks if everybody can bring five dollars $5.00 next week (it's optional) to make a little christmas for our LeTip waiters... (Jeana, you are so thoughtful!)


President -Vicki Gunvalson
Last but not least, why do we do this? because it brings us some psychic income, we know when we come here hopefully we can leave here with some people to call and ways to build our business's, so everybody have a great productive week and keep in touch with everybody!


See ya all on the 19th!
