Spot Light On...

OLD TOWN GUESTHOUSE, winner of the Gazette's "2007
Best in the Springs' B&B", is located in the heart
of historic Old Colorado City - just half a block from unique
boutiques, galleries, shops and several great restaurants.
Don and I look forward to people experiencing our AAA 4 Diamond
B&B ( the only one in the Springs), which includes a 3
course plated gourmet breakfast and late afternoon wine/beverages
with light appetizers for a relaxing "get-away-from-it-all" in
a Private Outdoor Hot Tub Room overlooking Pikes Peak & Garden
of the Gods, or a Steam Shower Room with a balcony overlooking
Pikes Peak.
From Conferences, to executive strategic planning sessions,
weddings, receptions, private Murder Mystery Dinners, or "funny-money" casino
nights, we take care of all the details for you.
Our B&B is a new venture for both of us. Don worked
for Unisys for 37 years (in computers) and I have been in the
legal world since I was 18, and owned my Freelance Probate
Paralegal firm for over 22 years. Don and I moved here
from Minnesota for the great climate and eventually to retire
- when we grow up! We have 2 sons - our oldest son, Matt,
lives in Denver with his wife, Kim, and our youngest son, Jeff,
lives in St. Paul with his wife, Jenn. Our youngest recently
blessed us with our first grandbaby boy born (nearly 4 weeks
early) on Don's birthday in late April. Matthew Lee is
doing just fine, and even paid us a visit over the 4th of
July.
After experiencing the many dynamic and enjoyable women at
a couple of EWI meetings, I decided to join. What
I like most is that EWI promotes both personal/professional
development, and encourages community participation. Being
new to the Springs, I look forward to cultivating new long-term
friendships in an organization which fosters leadership and
individual growth

President's Message ...
Get the BIG Picture at LCAM!
by Kathy Wallace,
WallaceVISION, LLC |
 |
As you know, LCAM (Leadership Conference & Annual Meeting),
EWI's national convention is coming up soon in September. We
have worked hard to be able to send more members to the conference
in Houston this year, so check you schedule and get your
LCAM application in to me by Aug 1!!!
Dates are Sept 27 to 29, and the training will be fabulous. Their
world class training sessions will benefit you in your professional
life, and you will have a chance to see the BIG picture of EWI. We
are part of a national network of business women, and it is a powerful
feeling to see and be a part of that.
So check it out! Not only is it instructive, but it is FUN! We
look forward to having you join us at LCAM this year - and taking
your awareness to the next level!

***** Nominating Committee News ******
From the EWI Nominating Committee - some breaking news:
At
the last board meeting we got some unfortunate
news that our incoming President-Elect Donna Berty,
from Select Long Term Care, will be resigning her position
with
her company effective in August
for personal reasons. She will be taking time off from the
working world to concentrate on family
matters. Therefore she will be unable to serve as
our President for the 2007-2008 Board year.
We are searching for a replacement for Donna
Berty as President-Elect. If you have any desire to step
into that role please contact me or Kathy Wallace (the current
President).
Donna, we wish you the best - much love to you!
We look forward to you coming back to us when
you can!!!

Ways & Means Committee
Report
Susan Davis and Donna Berty would like to once again thank
all those ladies responsible for this year's very successful
Golf Tournament at the Kissing Camels Golf Club in June.
We were able to raise over $20,000 to supplement our scholarship
fund for non-traditional students.
The nominating committee
is beginning to seek the next Ways and Means Committee
chairpersons and they will need your continued support as they
begin to plan for the 6th Annual Scholastic Classic.
We know
you
will offer them the same if not greater assistance as you
have in the past. All members of EWI need to help continue
to build for our future scholarship program through fundraising
which promotes the mission of EWI for community involvement
and promotion of women through scholarships!

July Meeting
For the July EWI chapter meeting, professional
speaker, Bob Adelmann, gave an interactive presentation on how
to get the "butterflies flying in formation’" as
we speak in front of groups large or small. He reminded us that
telling
stories are the best ways to entertain our listeners and make our
points. The food at The Fire Rock Grill was great and EWI got to
be part of the grand opening evening as the restaurant reinvents
itself.
