So you Think You're Funny?

Ever dream of being on stage as a comedian? We're looking for a few businesspeople who think they're funny for a 5 minute comedy slot on the stage! The audience will vote for their favorite amateur comedian. Business networkers only need apply! Apply here!

The only RSVP is a paid RSVP!! We can only fit 190 people in the room! Send your payment ASAP made out to NWIN-Day Chapter to P.O. Box 225, New Hampton, NY 10958.

All raffle prizes & donations for CASA are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your continued support & generosity.


For our fundraiser, limited sponsorship opportunities are available. Please call ASAP at (845) 928-6914 for more details so that we can promote our sponsors in event announcements! We will be handing out postcards & posting to community calendars throughout March & April -- the sooner we have sponsors the better!

Sponsorships will help defray the costs of the room, catering & advertising so that more money can be donated! All proceeds from the event will be donated to CASA (the Court Appointed Special Assistants program -- a divisiton of the Dispute Resolution Center -- that helps abused & neglected children).

Special Offer from Goshen Acupuncture & Massage

These are stressful times- I don't have to explain this point further... so for the month of March I'm offering a complimentary acupuncture session to all Women in Network Orange Day & Evening members.
No obligation for future treatment, simply a chance to relax: mentally, physically and emotionally.
If you are an existing patient you can have another treatment this month, on me.
If you are afraid of needles we can use press seeds. They don't puncture the skin and are just as effective.

Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Winners Circle Update

The current Orange County, NY Winners Circle is only temporarily open to new members. Starting February 27th, the meeting will be closed to new attendees until a new enrollment period in July.

To quote Ruth Landstrom:

In the last meeting, we decided to make a few changes to the Winners Circle. We thought that we'd try making it a closed group for the next five months (February - June), with no new additions until the summer. We also decided to increase the fee to $10/meeting and ask everybody to pay upfront for all five meetings ($50).

The intention of these changes is to increase everyone's commitment, so that the group can support us in an ongoing way. It is just too easy to bump the "me" time for all the other demands in our busy lives. If a meeting is already paid for, and we have said we'll be there, we're all more likely to show up! And that's good for everyone.

The other change is that I'll have some help with the logistics. Cindy Marsh-Croll will be handling the money, so she'll be contacting you separately about that first $50. JoAnne Bell will be sending out email reminders. And Criss Ittermann will update the NWIN blog with info about the Winners Circles.

So, please let me know if you'd like to try this new experiment, and save the dates! Meetings will be on the fourth Friday of each month, from 7:45 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., at Yoga for Well-Being, 2 Industrial Drive, Florida, New York.

I look forward to seeing you all each month!
