Jan 13th Meeting Cancelled (will move to Jan 27th)

Dear Monica, Our meeting tonight on Jan 13th has been cancelled due to the snow. School is closed today for my kids so it is best we cancel for tonight. I know it got a little confusing as my auto email reminders went out before I could change everything. The meeting for Jan 13th has been MOVED to Jan 27th. This is because it is our holiday party meeting and there are payments involved so it is easier to change the meeting date than to start all over again. If you RSVP'd to the Jan 13th meeting and cannot attend the Jan 27th meeting, please let me know. I will refund anyone who paid. The original event for Jan 27th has been archived but you might have received an email to RSVP that now no longer works. This is why. I will also send a text message to all our registered members *IF* a cell phone number was provided. This is one of the reasons why it is important for everyone to have a free membership and keep your profile on our website updated. Stay safe out there! ~Monica~

November Monthly Newsletter

Heart to Heart Meeting Reminders for the month of November HEART TO HEART MONTHLY NEWSLETTER For November 2019 Hi Monica,  Thank you to everyone who filled out a survey as they were very helpful in moving forward. The good news is there are going to be some great changes ahead so I encourage you to attend a meeting to see what is changing! I will try to summarize things below but it will be easier to attend a meeting and see in person.  I am also adding a special drawing for a free dinner that will be only open to new attendees (or people we haven't seen in a while) and the people who invited them. I will do this at least through the end of this year.  I am sad that our Oct Bunco Night had to be cancelled but there were not enough attendees. I could not find an available date at Shawn O'Donnell's for our next one so it will be held at Inspark instead. Since it costs money to rent Inspark and I will be providing some heavy appetizers for everyone, the cost will be collected upfront. I will still need a minimum of 20 people to RSVP or the event will be cancelled. I hope the new date works for everyone! ~Monica~ UPCOMING EVENTS PAY YOUR DUES

October Monthly Newsletter (part 2)

Heart to Heart Meeting Reminders for the month of October (part 2) HEART TO HEART MONTHLY NEWSLETTER For October 2019 (part 2) Hi Monica,  Consider yourself lucky! Two newsletters in one month! I am behind in getting updates out and there is a lot to share right now so please read everything.  We are collecting items again this year for Clothes for Kids and Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County. Please read more details below.  I asked on Facebook if text messages to remind people to RSVP would be helpful and many said it would not. However, there were enough people who said it would be helpful so I will experiment through the end of this year with it. The service does cost money so this will be a service for our paid members to begin with.  I am also experimenting with adding a bunco night 4x a year to our calendar. One of these will be our Anniversary Party so it will be free for our paid members. All other bunco nights will cost $5 to play. Plus, there is the expectation to purchase food/drinks please budget about $25 for a fun night out. Make sure to RSVP to the Oct 30th event! ~Monica~ FEATURED MEMBER Sign Up PAY YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES

July Monthly Newsletter

Heart to Heart Meeting Reminders for the month of July HEART TO HEART MONTHLY NEWSLETTER For July 2019 Hi Monica,  Hey, guess what? Am I really sending out a newsletter just one month after the last one? Good news from me! Since I am on vacation almost the whole month of August, this may be the last one until September. ;)  I hate to keep harping on this subject but I will keep talking about it until I am blue in the face. RSVP. Please. We have 5-6 events per year (bunco anniversary, speakers, holiday party) that it super duper matters. I have now instituted a policy that there will be a $5 charge if you show up without RSVP'ing at those 5-6 special events. If you aren't a paying member, it will cost $5 to attend these special events.  However, it is still quite important that you RSVP to EVERY. SINGLE. MEETING. Why? For an example, we had 8 people who attended our last meeting without RSVP'ing. We ran out of food. It just takes a lot longer to get everyone fed as the kitchen has to prepare more chicken.  I also need your help this week as I have an event about Japan on Thursday July 11th at 6:30pm at InSpark in Lynnwood. We have free food and beverages and my presenter is flying in from Colorado. I want to make sure there are people there! Please reply to this email if you can come or register online as I am ordering food today and I need to know how much to order.  ~Monica~ FEATURED MEMBER SIGN UP PAY YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES
