August Monthly Newsletter


Heart to Heart Meeting August Newsletter

HEART TO HEART MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

For August 2018
Hi Monica, 


Well, I meant to send this out earlier but it took me a while to get caught up after my last trip to Japan. My goal is to start sending out a newsletter once a month to keep everyone updated about what is going on with the group. I will strive to send it out close to the beginning of the month but no promises. :) 
I considered delaying the conversion of these emails to monthly instead of email reminders for each meeting but I decided that this website does a pretty good of sending out email reminders for each meeting so that is why I decided to just start doing this monthly. 
So, what do I want to talk about this month? I realized at this week's meeting that I won't be here for the Dec 10th meeting which is when we normally schedule our annual holiday party and white elephant gift exchange. I will probably move it to the last meeting in November instead which is Nov 26th and it is also the Monday right after Thanksgiving. Does anyone object to the move? We will have a regular meeting on Dec 10th and no meeting on Dec 24th for obvious reasons. ;)

VENUE UPDATES

We had a suggestion offered and that was to change the menu for the buffet every quarter. I have selected another winner from the people who have paid their dues through June 30th and I will announce the winner after she replies to my email. I had no reply so I am going to try one more time before I select another name. 

FEATURED MEMBER

In order to utilize our website more, we have decided to offer a "Featured Member". You provide us 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 article will also be shared on Facebook, highlighted in our monthly newsletter and highlighted on the homepage of our website as well.

SPEAKER ON SEPTEMBER 10th

We have a speaker coming to our meeting on September 10th so please RSVP and invite someone to attend!

Inbox Zero Presentation

Operation: Inbox Zero! 

Inbox Zero is not a new concept, but what does it really mean? 
Why is it so important? Is it even possible? 
And how is it accomplished without worry or stress? 

The goal with e-mail is to get through it. Respond to those who need to be responded to, do what needs to be done, save what needs to be saved and delete what needs to be let go. While keeping these goals in mind we need a clear plan that is easy to follow. 

During this presentation you will learn concrete skills that can be implemented immediately! 

Organize your e-mail system so that nothing is missed or falls through the cracks.
Learn quick and easy techniques to get through your e-mail fast! 
Have a clear plan for how you can make your system e-mail obey you. 

"Don't let your technology bully you."

ADVENTURE OUTINGS

This fun idea will now be taken over by the Secret Travel Society! Kim and Stephanie had a great idea but they don't have time to plan fun events for our group. The idea was to have a monthly H2H Adventure Outing where we meet up and spend $30-40 per person on a fun activity or event.
Most of our social events you can find on the Secret Travel Society calendar. We have a free membership that you can join for limited access to our social calendar or you can pay a small monthly fee to be a VIP member which has full access to the calendar plus special MEMBER ONLY perks, gifts, discounts and more. Our next planned fun event is our September Mixer on Thu Sept 13th in Everett. Make sure to RSVP for the full location details!
