A special THANK YOU! to Charlie Adams who came out to our September luncheon yesterday. The topic, "How to have a positive attitude and keep the darn thing" was very entertaining, especially with the stories he had to tell us from his own day to day experiences. To find out more about Charlie and his company, "Stoke the Fire Within" visit his website at www.stokethefirewithin.com

We Made The Cover!

Do you have questions for the Website Specialists?

2008-01-08T15:06:00.000-05:00

A big "Thank You"! to John Webber with Master Media Productions for taking the time today to give us tips on how to optimize our websites. We could have talked all day about this. If you have any questions about the topic of website optimization please post them here. John, Kimberly Brewer from Wingenuity, and Denise Crowel from Monkeyhouse Marketing & Design will chime in.

As if the closed parking lot wasn't enough...

2008-01-08T14:49:00.000-05:00

Ok, it was a bit challenging today at the luncheon! My apologies to everyone who attended. We seem to be running into some difficulties at our current venue. I hate to even mention it because I LOVE the Summit Club. They have been so good to us!

The Board is currently considering alternative locations for future meetings. The venue would have to have ample parking, a sound system, and be in a location convenient for our members comuting from Elkhart and other cities. It would also be nice if the total cost each month (parking & lunch) stayed at $13 for members.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

WBOM is looking for golfers of all experience levels. Come and join us to have fun and play 9 holes. No weekly commitment and you don't even have to keep score if you don't want to. If you are interested, please respond with your preference as to the course, day of week and time of day.

Picnic at the Cove

2007-07-10T17:33:00.000-04:00

Great turnout today at the Cove! For such a warm day we had a pretty nice spot beneath the trees.

It's nice that everyone had a chance to tell us a bit about themselves. I am always curious about how my fellow WBOM'ers are doing.

Calling all "Bloggers"...

2007-06-12T14:44:00.000-04:00

I was surprised to see that only a handful of people at our luncheon were familiar with Blogging. By Golly, I'm determined to get more members to check this blog out! As an incentive, any WBOM member who has a blog can link it here. This way people visiting this blog have the opportunity to learn more about you! Free exposure... that's what I'm talking about! Just comment this post with your blog URL and I'll do the rest.

Our June speaker - Jim Connelly

2007-06-11T18:24:00.000-04:00

I asked a friend of Jim's how I should introduce him and she replied "Jim Connelly, Master Mentor". Well, having met him myself I would have to agree. He has achieved greatness over and over again! There's a specific story he will tell us about today, but if you want to know more about what he's done please visit www.jim-connelly.com .
