Women's Business Exchange Alameda, California 
I love this…will get going on writing MY entry….and getting a fabulous picture, and thinking of all the categories I want to be listed under and adding blog address to my signature on my email and then adding it to my new business cards and and and ..!
And, and… yes this is so exciting! I too have been thinking about my interests and other communities of which I am a part. I had an extraordinary vision of myself as someone who brings together various communities. Just today I accepted the invitation to be a Member of The Board of Directors of the Shivas Irons Society. You can check out what we stand for by visiting http://www.shivas.org. I spent last Saturday in Seaside near Pacific Grove meeting with The Board and helping to craft our mission statement using the same materials- The One Page Business Plan that we used a few weekends ago doing the same thing at Asilomar. Wow! Totally amazing how the universe is in alignment all the time whether we acknowledge the phenomena or not.Hmm…

Hi Kerry,
I really enjoyed the EBWN meeting yesterday with my friend Allison and meeting you and lots of other interesting folks. We chatted in the parking lot leaving. Like Allison, I am interested to visit and know more about this association, especially as it looks like many of the members could be an excellent network for my enterprise and mutual support. It helps that I live in Alameda and this seems local with reasonable meetings. I have the same questions re: mandatory meeting attendance and duplication of businesses.
