Getting back into the swing of things

Okay, it's been a while since I've done a post. Sorry 'bout that. Like everyone, I've been focusing on business and trying to keep the boat from capsizing. Things are still hairy out there, but it's time for me to start reporting again.

This morning we had Jim Ponder of Turnkey Strategic Relations (Escondido, CA) come speak to our club. Good stuff. He's a wise man who has been on the entrepreneurial side of things and now coaches business owners in how to make the most of their opportunities. He brought his delightful daughter Kelli with him, who works side-by-side with her dad and is learning the industry from the inside-out. I applaud them both.

Kendra Jeffcoat's year is quickly winding down and Nasrin Barbee is gearing up to take over. Don't look now, but I think they're planning something to celebrate the transition. Meanwhile, we've got the demotion party (or Demolition party, as past president (and potential city council member) Carl Kruse likes to call it) on June 12.

Our little club continues to grow, and a public thank you was provided this morning both to Jim Dunny (webmaster/club secretary) and to Jana Markley (membership chair) for all their hard work and success in growing our club. Add to this a story that appeared in the Pomerado Newspapers about our guest Cindy Barbee (okay, I had something to do with that - I admit it) and it was a busy day.
