Today's speaker was Julie Eckloff of Remax Quality Realty. Julie started her talk by asking all of us to share stories of buying our homes or of home ownership. We heard stories about the value of a Home Inspection, to taking caution if your air conditioner unit is above the ceiling, to never leave an open drink around Scott Bailey when you’re in a crawl space and he's not! She ended her talk by giving us very important information on credit information that we can all use. A job well done. Thanks Julie and let us all work at getting a referral to Julie this week.

Meeting Wrap-Up May 1, 2009

As always, we had another great meeting with all of our members present and several guest. For the first of May it was a great time.

Here we have Kyle Lisy of New Look Upholstery & Embroidery and Melissa Sperko our very own Mary Kay Cosmetics Rep. help set up a table to accommodate our guest.

Mary Ann Hatfield with Visalus Life, Health & Prosperity talks with July Eckloff from Remax Quality Realty.

Kail Shope who is with Key Bank in Milan was our other guest. Kail is getting the real scoop from Melissa Sperko.

As the author of this blog, I am happy to be able to say that I have known both of our guest for many years. Mary Ann was my neighbor when I was growing up in the Clarksfield area, and I worked for Kail's Father and Mother when she was just a little girl. She was very sweet then as well.
I hope both our guest enjoyed our meeting and can see the benefits of membership.

Ted Young with Got Ya Covered Cleaning was our speaker. Ted discussed the importance of hiring good people to help run his business and ways they need to protect their employees. Ted also talked about how to eliminate clutter; I liked the 3-box method Ted! Thanks for sharing.

Don't forget, next week is Mothers Day! Please bring in a memory of one of your most favorite things you did for your Mother on Mothers Day.

Have a great week and see you on Friday!

Meeting Wrap-up April 17, 2009

**REMEMBER!**

NEXT MEETING IS APRIL SHOWERS THEME, YOU WILL BE JUDGED ON ANYTHING YOU CAN DO THAT REMINDS US OF THE WONDERFUL SHOWERS WE GET DURING APRIL!

Our Friday AM Meeting was as always, a great meeting! Not only did we have nearly all our members present, we had three, yes three guests!

I’m very happy to say that Jim Weiland has joined our chapter in the Life and Health Category! Welcome Jim! You can check Jim’s web site out at www.GSFinancial.us

A Full House!

With Record Referral Giving!

Our speaker was yours truly, Michael Moore Myers-Ziemke Insurance. I talked about the impact your “Insurance Score” has on the bottom line of your insurance premiums, I also covered some of the many discounts that are available out there that we all need to take advantage of.

Next week we will have open mic to discuss what was gained from the forum that is this Wed. in Cleveland. We have several people attending and remember, it’s not too late! You can pay at the door if you wish. Just give me a call at 419-577-2701 if you’re interested and I’ll work it out for you.

We also moved our “IRN Shooters Experience” to a later date in May. Weather and scheduling conflicts made us do this. I would like to make an open invite to all members, we try and get together on a regular bases for a little unwind time after work, either at the Norwalk Moose Club, Pizza Post, or any place that serves good food! If anyone would like to join in just let us know. We would love to extend the invitation to all. These networking events help develop a closer bond between each member making it all that much easier to refer business to.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! This Saturday, from 2pm until the food is gone, Kyle Lisy of New Look Upholstery & Embroidery is holding an open house! Some but not all events will include a Cruise In, best dish contest (I added that one, let’s all see who can make the best side dish to bring and I’ll be the judge!) and lots more. Plan to support our new member and show up for the festivities!

See you next Friday!
