Can You Believe It!

We were just saying Happy New Year to each other. Then it was Valentine’s Day. And St. Patrick’s Day. And My Birthday! Then Mother’s Day and Memorial Day! Did the days go so quickly when we were just kids growing up? Didn’t it seem like forever when we were waiting for the special occasions or holidays? Well, here it is almost summer. Does it not seem forever and a day ago that it was just “a thought” that the ABWA National Conference might be in South-ern California? Well, just as all those other special holidays have come and gone, this event will soon be part of the past. Don’t let it come and go without your being a part of it. Especially if you have never attended a national conference—don’t let this one pass you by. It may be years before another ABWA National Conference is only minutes away. Did you receive your ABWA Women in Business this month? Are you in for a treat with Candace Bushnell and Karen Taylor-Good as Keynote Presenters. I can tell you for sure, Karen Tay­lor-Good is awesome! Then there’s the entertainment—Papa Doo Run Run’s—did you read about them? Well, they alone may be worth it all!!! But wait, there’s more. We all know that learning should go on until the day we die. We know that we need to keep our minds sharp—whether or not we continue with our career or retire. In-deed, we need to keep our minds stimulated. Well then—read about all the different workshops (ABWA calls them Breakout Sessions) and select your favorites. Did you ever ask your manager at work if they would pay for some continuing education courses for you? Well, my thought is that it is always worth asking! Who knows, your manager may want to attend also. Show her your copy of Women in Business! We will be taking a count at the next meeting of all members and guests who plan on attending. And by the way, since Placentia Stars is a sponsoring chapter, we do need some more helpers! See you Tuesday, June 27th! One more quick note: A Million Thanks to Carol Smith and to Bryna for a fabulous job with our Business Associate Event! It was a totally grand affair!
