REMINDER: Heart to Heart April 24th

REMINDER: Heart to Heart on Apr 24th View this email in your browser Heart to Heart Reminder April 24th, 2017 Hi Monica, I am glad to be back in town and I have missed seeing you ladies! I have missed the last few meetings due to my travel schedule and the Eastside meeting was cancelled last week due to a family issue that Kristina had. I hope to see you at tomorrow's meeting! I have raised the prices of the Member of the Month feature and our Spotlight Tables in the Northend group. I have not received enough paid memberships to cover my expenses so there is still a discount if you are a paid member but just not as much as it was before. It really helps support our group if you pay your yearly dues. Many thanks to those of you who already paid! :) I decided to give it a shot and created (or rather I took over a group) a Facebook group for us. I will keep the business page around for a while but I will be moving more activities to the group instead. FB invites will be done through the group, event sharing and sales posts will be in the group now. Please join it and participate! https://www.facebook.com/groups/h2hwomen/ ~Monica~ NORTHEND Apr 24th Meetup RSVP NORTHEND May 8th Meetup RSVP - BUNCO ANNIVERSARY Barbara Kempf with Tupperware - Shop online, date a party, fundraiser, kitchen org, meal prep, storage  EASTSIDE May 2nd Meetup RSVP EASTSIDE May 16th Meetup RSVP Amy Best-Moreley with John L. Scott - Priced Right The First Time!   MORE INFO & NEWS VENUE UPDATES NORTHEND We had a suggestion offered at the meeting in December and that was to change the menu for the buffet every quarter. AMY LINDSAY-EELLS was our winner for the first drawing! I will select another winner from the people who have paid their dues through May 8th at our Anniversary party. EASTSIDE Starting on March 7, we will be meeting at Café Veloce in Kirkland, just off of I-405 in Totem Lake. It is just off Totem Lake Boulevard, so hopefully will be very easy to come to. Italian food and wines -- so this should be fun. I know it is hard to go down 520, to get to the Family Pancake House sometimes in the evenings. http://www.cafeveloce.com/ 12514 120th AVE NE Kirkland, WA Phone : 425 814 2972 MEMBER OF THE MONTH In order to utilize our website more, I have decided to offer a "Member of the Month" featured article. You provide me with an article about you and your business that we can publish on our website. You can use 500-1200 words, up to 5 images, and unlimited text links. Content is subject to approval. This is great for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and will remain on the site indefinitely. Your blog post will also be shared on Facebook and highlighted in our monthly newsletter as well. As an introductory offer, I will start this program for just $35 (or $25 if you paid your yearly dues)!    Eileen Paul - April Member of the Month Here are the current Members of the Month scheduled for the next few months: SEP: Monica with Anywhere But Here Travel OCT: Sandee with Gourmet Temptations Gift Baskets NOV: Kate with Northern Lights Life Coaching DEC: Laura with Key Oils JAN: Molly with Carefree Beauty Permanent Makeup FEB: Deborah Lobe, Makeup Artist & Stylist MAR: Sandee with Gourmet Temptations Gift Baskets APR: Eileen with The Pampered Chef MAY: Kathy with The Miller Connection JUN: Heather with Usborne Books JUL: OPEN AUG: OPEN Sign Up for the next Member of the Month! SAVE THE DATE - BUNCO ANNIVERSARY PARTY We just celebrated our 7th anniversary as Heart to Heart Networking and to celebrate, we are hosting a special networking meeting of brief introductions and then we will be playing bunco! We had a great response to last year's event that we decided to make it an annual event. You don't need to know how to play as we can teach you when you show up. It will be on a regularly scheduled NORTHEND meeting date of Monday May 8th @ 6:30pm. We will still have the buffet so please plan on purchasing dinner at this meeting. There is no cost to attend other than the buffet dinner as usual. If a member attends who hasn't paid their yearly dues, there will be a $5 cost for this meeting. We will give out cash prizes and some other goodies so make sure to attend! RSVP for Bunco Anniversary Party! NORTHEND SPECIAL SPEAKER Coming up next is Linda Deppa with Uncluttered Professional Organizing on June 12, 2017. She does personal and business organizing plus families too. Please let us know what organizing topics you want to hear her speak about the most. Finally, our last speaker scheduled for this year is Morgan Oaks (aka Dr. Mo) with An Evolution in Chiropractic on Oct 23, 2017. He recently had a TedX talk about "Learning the Language of Dude" where he shared his life story and experiences and how it allowed him to listen more deeply to himself and the world around him. We are still working out the details of the exact subject of his presentation so stay tuned! Do you have someone to recommend or a topic that you want to hear about? Let us know!  ADVENTURE OUTINGS Kim and Stephanie have stepped up to lead a monthly H2H Adventure Outing where we plan to meet and spend $30-40 per person on a fun activity or event. Some ideas that we have been tossing around were karaoke, a mani/pedi day at the spa, wine tasting, solve a puzzle room, etc. Send your ideas of fun activities to do to Kim or Stephanie. We took an informal poll at one of our NORTHEND meetings about who is interested in taking a self-defense class. We had a lot of interest so let us know if this is something you are interested in as well. Our next door neighbors at Active Martial Arts (Monica's daughter takes classes there) would love to put something together for us so we are just waiting to hear when and how much it will cost. We will be a pilot program for them so we just have to wait for them to get an instructor set up to help us out. Would you like to take a self defense class? Please let us know if this is of interest to you and we will get you more information and schedule a class soon! SPOTLIGHT TABLES - NORTHEND To have a table, you must have attended a meeting within the last 3 months. You will get 7 minutes to present about your business and/or passion.
