All work and no play? Naaahh-

Erin Emry (above), Nominating and Placement Chairperson, crafted the most adorable candy bags for her fellow Board members to ensure a nice superhero suger rush for our first meeting! Due to a heavy travel schedule with her CPA Firm, superwoman and SMM Chairperson, Angela Moore delivered her report via podcast. Well, sort of. Pre-recorded video on-location at event co-sponsor, The Wine Bar, made a huge impression. Here, the laptop is projecting the image on our white wall for the audience! Special thanks to our (unofficial) in-house broadcast producers, Jessica Fischer and Jennifer Myers for all their help with the technology. Jessica, Corresponding Secretary, (pictured)enjoys the show! A few fun pictures from the September General Membership Meeting. In delivering the announcements and business of our League, we implemented various multi-media techniques in hopes to keep the attention of our ladies in a fun and exciting way.

Central Florida Women's Expo

Like hundreds of other women in the area, President-Elect Wendy Morris and I strapped our babies in their strollers, threw on our comfiest day dresses and shopped until we (or at least our kids) dropped! The Women's Expo today in Auburndale was a huge event with even bigger attendance and we were eager to meet and greet those featured vendors that will also be participating in the League's own Santa's Merry Market this November. The Auburndale community was hopping and all of our favorite boutiques were accessible to share their products and concepts. Wendy's longtime friend Cindy Hummel is Auburndale's Special Projects Director. After chatting with her a bit about the success of the event, Wendy and I both agreed that we wished JLGWH had a booth to sell Outback and SMM tickets, organizers and of course recruit! We also learned that the event was the product of about 5 key women coordinators, which was also encouraging! Oh, and of course, the expo has a blog!! www.blog.thewomensexpo.com Please leave your comments if you attended. Your feedback and input is appreciated as we hope our holiday event will be just as successful!

Whoa!!!

Buckle your seatbelts ladies...our group is on the fast track to success. Wow- have I really become this much of a JL dork? I guess so! After a successfully productive 1st Board meeting, I can't tell you how very thrilled I am about the year ahead. With so many wonderful projects in store, and exciting fundraisers, (and work/bonding to be done!) we will all be BFF's gossiping about boys in our Flamingo P.J.'s, by the end of the year! I am so looking forward to seeing everyone at our first General Membership Meeting next week and meeting our new provisionals. This just keeps getting better... so please keep your arms and feet inside, and hang on for the ride!
