MEETING MINUTES
Minutes
for meeting Monday 4th September, Calpe Meeting
Chairperson – Karla Darocas At
the AGM it was agreed we would have a “revolving chairperson” for each
meeting, giving everyone the opportunity to chair a meeting. Volunteers
will be asked for at the meetings, but it is intended that eventually
everyone will have the opportunity – don’t panic ladies – you can
always “joint-chair” if you’re nervous!!! Mary
Lucas will be chairing the next meeting at Javea, followed by Elaine Barclay
and Janet Brownrigg will chair the next meeting at Calpe, followed by Marcia
Vaugh. Welcome
to New Members As
this was the first meeting of the new season it was fantastic to be able to
welcome five new members – Member’s
Introduction This
is the opportunity for members, both new and old, to introduce themselves to
the group, promote their businesses and hand out business cards. All
members are reminded that they should be wearing name badges clearly stating
their name, business name and WIBC office (if applicable). Marcia
desperately needs a drama teacher for her studio in Calpe and, as always,
little boys (to partner her little girls). Julie
Cawthorne is offering 10% discount to WIBC members to advertise in Viva the
Valley! magazine for the Jalon valley. Louise
Ambler is promoting the Starguide Business Directory. Elaine
Barclay is about to launch Mango Mixer – the ultimate on-line social
networking site – check it out at www.mangomixer.com Karla
has launched a new website at www.spainhealth.net
to bring you all the latest news on health matters for those of us living in
Spain. Janet
Brownrigg has named her clinic in the Calpe Tennis Club – The Kamala
Centre. Find out more at www.janetbrownrigg.com Personal
and Business Development Workshop Part
of the new structure of the meetings is a 15/20 minute education talk,
either by the meeting’s chairperson or a guest speaker. It
is the responsibility of the chairperson to arrange this for their meeting. Karla
kicked us off with a fascinating and informative talk entitled “Don’t
Believe The E-Hype” dealing with what to look out for and avoid when it
comes to people designing your website! Copies
of this can be obtained from Karla at info@darocas.com Networking
Session & Product Display Table Members
had the chance to display their business materials and products on a table
as they came in and this is the chance to promote them to fellow members. Please
make sure you take them with you at the end of the session! Re-registering
on the website Karla
asked that ALL members take a few minutes to re-register on the new WIBC
website – if you have any problems please contact Karla. This is a much
more professional- looking website and has better security to members - only
pages. Next
