NAPW Boulder Local Chapter Met to Act on Their Formal Agenda and to Arrange Social Activities for the Members


Garden City, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

NAPW Boulder Local Chapter held two professional networking meetings to discuss upcoming plans for the chapter, schedule formal meetings, and arrange for social events.

At the December meeting, Chapter President Erin Bush expressed an interest in having a secretary to take meeting minutes and help with some of the responsibilities. Whitney Carlson offered to take on this position. Erin approved this position for Whitney.

Erin discussed her business and the changes it is going through. She handed out her new business card and explained that the website is up and running. Then Whitney discussed the changes in her business location but the excitement of growth potential in the future.

Erin and Whitney then discussed their goals for the chapter. They included creating partnerships and networking with other professional women. Whitney decided to send out an email to all of the Boulder chapter members to give them a small survey. This would have the goal of finding out more about what the women of the chapter want to get out of this membership and who was willing to help out. Erin said that Paige had found a speaker who wanted to talk about networking for the initial meeting, but due to scheduling conflicts could not attend. Whitney offered to email Paige to see if that speaker could come to the January 12th meeting.

Other topics of discussion included sales, promotions, and leadership. Erin expressed an interest in having a drawing each month for a door prize and having ice breaker games to get everyone involved in each meeting.

In the October meeting, Paige had expressed an interest in having small unofficial NAPW gathering throughout the month. Erin requested that if any of the members plan a social event to email her the details so she could post it on the chapter page. This will help the information get to all of the members. Social ideas included coffee, brunch, dinners, and hiking.

In January, Erin recapped last months discussions with Kristy and asked if she had any ideas on how to grow the chapter. Kristy suggested the Chapters leaders resend the announcement of the new chapter to as many members as possible. Erin is going to get an updated list from NAPW to resend the announcement.

It was requested that each member go through the NAPW site and personally invite other members to join the group in February. We value the one-on-one connections we can make with members in our areas, said Erin.

Topics discussed for future meetings included the implementation of a book club, volunteer opportunities, and charity events. For the February meeting, Erin is going to send out personalized invitations to NAPW members. Kristy volunteered to design the invitation. Erin is going to send her the logo and get stamps. A speaker was discussed and narrowed down to an accountant to discuss tax write-offs and another NAPW member, Carmen Bell, to discuss identity theft. All of us are going to look through the NAPW site and reach out to our personal contacts to find speakers on this topic, said Erin.

The door prize was drawn and Kristy won a $ 10 gift certificate to Bean & Berrys. The chapter took a group picture with the banner and scheduled the next meeting for February 9th from 5:30-7pm at Bean and Berrys.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Sonasoft, Corp., an innovative leader in email archiving software solutions for organizations utilizing Microsoft Exchange servers, announces the continuation of its limited 2011 special offer for government agencies.

For instance, a city might have email from one domain called maplecity.gov and another named maplecitypolice.org. With SonaVault all these emails may be combined into one searchable archive. This can significantly reduce IT costs and complexity. Its as simple as loading up all the PST files.

Sonasofts free email archiving, offer which requires the purchase of the first years maintenance contract and Sonasoft professional installation, is being extended to 300 government agencies that sign on by March 31, 2012. This is an exclusive promotion that Sonasoft is providing to U.S. state, city, and local government entities as well as K-12 school districts.

NAPW Louisville Local Chapter Refreshed Their Focus for the New Year, and Welcomed Many New Members


Garden City, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

The NAPW Louisville chapter began their new year with exciting news over ten new members joined the chapter since last meeting. It was great to start the New Year with so many new members to bring fresh ideas and a stronger focus for the women leaders in our community, said Amy Caryn Warneka, Chapter President.

So many new members came to this months meeting; the group spent a lot of time getting to know each other, their strengths, their companies, their desires and so much more. In attendance this month were: Amy Caryn Warneka (President, IPaSS Consulting), Mari Mujica (Diversity Consultants), Becky Pugh (BPs), Nikki Weis and Andrea Loveless (Advanced Steamway), and Shelia Barbour (Education Consulting). While dining on great food from Wicks Pizza on Bluegrass Parkway, the chapter discussed the establishment of a regularly scheduled day and time to entice the most members to attend their meetings and connect. Last years survey was a big help, but more members need to submit their input or scheduling conflicts in order to discover the most optimal time frame to work within, Amy told the group.

There was a small discussion on hosting guest speakers on a regular basis, inviting guests to attend meetings, the future of the chapter newsletter, what the group hopes to achieve and receive from taking time out of their busy schedules to attend, and the membership benefits of being a part of NAPW. Members also discussed plans for the future of the chapter, such as an organization committee for membership drives, electing officers to handle some of the many duties and needs of the chapter as they grow, and how they can make an impact on the local community with fund drives, collections, donations, and charity events.

Each member was asked to talk about a special thing or event that happened in their lives recently. There were excellent answers given and even a few surprises. However, the best answer was: This group, this chapterbeing here, by Shelia Barbour, one of the newest members. This was truly a blessing. It is the chapters belief, and hope, that this sentiment is shared by all the Louisville chapter members, and it is the hope that each member can find a blessing from being a part of such a great organization.

Amy Caryn proposed holding next months meeting in the same place but hosting the meeting on a Monday rather than a Friday. I believe it is a better day for most members, a great way to motivate our members and start the week out right, she said. With smiles around the table, members seemed to agree.

Amy Caryn continued, We want to ensure that our members are comfortable coming, dont have to take too much time away from their busy lives, and feel like they are getting a benefit from just showing up. Even just meeting, greeting, chatting, as well as showing the love and support we have for each other, is a benefit for many of us who usually dont take enough time for ourselves daily. Knowing someone cares can do wonders on a stressed womans attitude.

The meeting ended with talk of next months meeting and how to make it more productive. Shelia volunteered to host a story-time with a reading of one of her works, which each member took delight at hearing. Nikki and Andrea were asked if they could bring in more magnets to pass out next week, and Becky talked about sending Amy more information about what she is looking for in her marketing plans so they can assist one another in their business. The meeting ended on a high note, with everyone looking forward to next month.

Toronto, Barrie, Ontario (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Even a local moving company with a strong referral base and repeat business need to market themselves effectively on the Internet these days. ADCOs research found that offering their reliable, professional moving services can be improved by marketing themselves more online and less on paper.

To reach a wider audience, ADCO Movers enlisted the help of Toronto based, IFM Web Services to promote their moving services via SEO Press Releases. IFM is a Web Design and SEO media boutique servicing the GTA and caught the eye of Adco Movers last fall.

Len Doren, Creative Director of IFM, offers, ADCO is a great family-run company. Liz and Clarence are good business people, easy to work with and wanted a boost in terms of their visibility on the Internet and increased web traffic. But its the ‘green’ message in their efforts that makes this project special for us to be part of.

ADCO knows that the Internet is a valuable tool which can be used to promote ones business. Even a moving company with a history of reliable service can use the Internet to increase their branding awareness and web traffic. The media releases prepared and distributed for ADCO include standard information about the company and their services, but also their desire to help the environment, any way they can.

Clarence Barrow, of ADCO Movers notes, Weve used all types of lead generation services, advertised in the Yellow pages and yet most of our business came from referrals and repeat business. He adds, In using IFM’s Search Engine Optimizing services in Toronto, weve just reduced the yellow pages book by one page by turning to the Internet to better market our business. Clarence further adds, We know that the Internet is ever-changing and offers the average business significant marketing opportunities to capture the interest of some of the millions of online searchers each and every day. And thats why we contacted IFM Web Services.

IFM is currently providing what is called off-page SEO effects for Adco Movers. Now, those people and businesses looking specifically for a good moving company in the GTA, Toronto or Barrie area, will find ADCO Movers website, via the search engines. Increasing ADCOs positioning on the search engines brings the opportunity to do more business and interact with more Internet users who are looking for a good moving company.

Clarence realizes that to compete in todays market, utilizing the Internet and going green is very important. In terms of going green, ADCO keeps their vehicles regularly maintained and in top operating condition, which is vitally important in lowering ones carbon footprint. But even for ADCO’s long distance moves, it goes beyond just keeping their fleet of vehicles running optimally. They continue to focus on keeping costs down for their clients by offering suggestions to help reduce the actual amount of cargo and belongings that have to be moved as well.

Clarence offers, As a residential moving company, we have to think of ways to be green and cost-efficient these days. And our clients actually help us lower their moving costs by having a yard sale and donating some clothing to charity to start with. We also suggest donating older toys, sports equipment and even some furniture to charity, which is a great way to help the less fortunate and a positive way to lighten the load.

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Tylers Pool & Home Care, a provider of lawn care and swimming pool services to the Omaha area is expanding its scope of services to meet recent demand from commercial customers.

Over the past several years Tylers Pool and Home care has been diligently providing routine omaha pool maintenance and service along with lawn care services to homeowners in the Omaha metropolitan area. The founder of the company, Tyler Hipsher, has more than 10 years of experience in caring for all types of pools and properties, both residential and commercial. With a background in property management, including overseeing maintenance of more than 1,000 apartment units, a hotel and several commercial properties, Tyler founded Tylers Pool & Home Care in hopes of providing a niche service not found in the Omaha metropolitan area. These services were designed to let busy homeowners enjoy their homes and pools without the stress of regular maintenance and care.

For Omaha residents utilizing Tylers Omaha area pool services, the customer most often hired the firm to open and close their pools seasonally as well as provide weekly service to maintain proper chemical levels, keep the systems clean and ensure the pools were properly maintained. The firm can provide the chemicals and supplies necessary to keep residential Omaha swimming pools clean and clear all summer long. The staff at Tylers pool and home care has experience in caring for pools of all sizes from above ground residential pools to the care and operation of an indoor waterpark and everything in between.

Customers utilizing Tylers Omaha lawn care services received lawn mowing upon a schedule that worked for them, light landscaping and spring/winter lawn clean-ups. Tylers also added gutter cleaning services for Omaha residents this last fall and had more than 60 customers take advantage of the new service.

As word of Tylers Home & Pool Cares service level and expertise has spread its workforce has grown as has requests from customers for new services. Several residential customers also owned or operated commercial ventures including small commercial buildings and apartment complexes. These customers and their desire for Tylers Pool & Home Care to provide the same home services at their commercial properties spurred the firms recent expansion into commercial services.

On January 1st Tylers Pool and Home Care officially added commercial services to its schedule of services. Tylers offers all of its pool and home maintenance services to commercial clients but has added painting, cleaning, light maintenance repairs, carpet cleaning and more to its growing list of services offered. Omaha apartment owners can now find an easy way to turnover vacant units quickly and affordably.

With the years of property management experience Tylers Omaha apartment renovation services meets the needs of owners and tenants alike with its new commercial services.

Tylers Pool & Home Care also launched a completely redesigned website this month at http://www.OmahaPoolCare.com. Customers and those interested in the services offered by the company can find a schedule of services and standard pricing.

We are excited to be working with many local artists on putting together a regular event for the community to enjoy and gather at, as well as play host to a lot of interesting and innovative local music projects, side projects and experimentation grounds, says Luke Mescher, owner of Falbo Brothers Pizzeria.

Falbo Brothers Pizzeria has set up a pizzeria for and about the community of Fort Collins. This is a place for handmade gourmet pizza, a venue to hear your local musicians or to try out your hand at ping-pong, which has quickly become a regulars and staff attraction.

Offering a unique product and another choice when it comes to pizza, this pizza is really done with love. Without even a mixer in the kitchen, they make their dough and sauce from scratch numerous times a day, never skimping on the ingredients and especially not the cheese, which is brought in from Wisconsin.

They probably offer the cheapest beers in town at $ 8/pitcher and their regular specials are 2 slices of pizza and a soda for $ 4.20, available all day and night every day. They always have a pizza of the week allowing customers to try it for 20% off any size any crust and an amazing patio attached to the back of the building which will turn into a great beer/wine garden this spring.

About Falbo Brothers Pizza

Falbo Brothers Pizzeria, a Fort Collins Pizzeria, serves superior gourmet pizza, all by hand, with Wisconsin cheese and a lot of love. Opened for just over a year, the pizzeria has become a Fort Collins favorite. The original Falbo Brothers Pizzeria opened for business August 1, 1992 in Madison, Wisconsin. Two students from the University of Wisconsin forced to eat horrible “college” pizza for 4 years decided enough was enough. Jason and Rob, the original “Falbo Brothers” decided it was time to take matters into their own hands. They had a simple philosophy: Make the best possible pizza, charge the lowest possible price. They now have locations in Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa.
