Monthly Dinner Meeting Recap - May 26, 2010
The last regular monthly dinner meeting at Café Calamari for the season was enjoyed by 19 members and 5 guests on May 26, 2010. Special thanks to the LaCroix family, Korey, and all the staff for the outstanding food and service we have become accustomed to enjoying. For the next three months our format changes to include casual lakeside networking for men and women with the kick-off event on Wed. June 23 at Bella Vista Suites new Lobby Lounge, featuring live music by Ronnie Nyles; a cocktail cruise aboard the Yacht Polaris on Wed. July 28 and the Summer Finale at Kirsch’s Restaurant on August 25. Thank you to those who have sponsored and are hosting these events.
Caralyn Anderson, Bug Out Pest Management was welcomed as the newest WE Network Member.
WE welcomed first time guests Sheila Reiff, Walworth County Circuit Court Clerk and Diane Riener of Act Telecom in Madison. Both women enjoyed the evening and plan to attend future events. (In fact, Sheila applied for membership.)
In an awareness exercise, Denise Schultz had each attendee number an index card 1-5 and immediately write down the names of the five adults with whom they are currently spending the most time – reminding us that we are likely to become (or emulate) the five people with whom we spend the most time. She encouraged everyone to consider which names on the list make them smile, and feel at their best; which names may cause negative feelings or behaviors, and adjust our lives as necessary and reasonable so that all five names become the people we most want to be with and like. Special thanks to WE Member Genie Murphy for sharing this affirming theory.
Denise announced that political candidates for local offices may be at summer networking events. The group will not endorse any candidate for office, but does welcome the opportunity for the members to ask questions and share information with those candidates taking time to attend and network with us.
