| Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
 We are ready to start a new year in September. The Board has
been meeting all summer to have our best year yet. As always,
our meetings are the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Crown
Plaza Hotel in Nashua. Networking and registration begin at
11:00, lunch buffet at 11:30 and the meeting starts around
11:45. We encourage you to come early to have time to meet and
talk with other guests and visitors. Again, this year guests are
welcome and will receive a discount when attending with a
member. We hope everyone will encourage other women to
participate.
On Thursday, September 25 we will be hosting a booth at the
Chamber Tri-City Expo. We are looking for women to share the
responsibility of being at the booth. The Expo runs from 3-7 at
the Center of NH Expo Center in Manchester. Please contact me at
578- 9899 X203 if you would like to participate.
You will note within the newsletter a notice from Nancy
Baughman, our liaison to the Nashua Chamber. The BPW is a member
of this valuable business organization and encourages its
members to participate in the various programs offered through
them. Recently they changed their policies in regard to members
of organizations participation in their events. Please review
Nancy's notice so you are aware of these changes.
If you want to get to know more of our members on a more
intimate level, we invite you to join a committee. The
committees are what keeps this organization going and has the
biggest impact on the direction and future the Nashua BPW. If
you want to know more about our various committees and what help
is needed, please call me at 578-9899 X203.
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday, September 18th for our
first meeting of the year. Enjoy the rest of your summer,
Susan Weidner Cooke, President
Nashua Business and Professional Women's
Association

Special Presentation of Communities & Consequences
Date: September 17
Time: 5:30pm
Place: Eaton Richmond Center, Daniel Webster College
Cost: Free
As you know, BPW Nashua is a member of the Greater Nashua Chamber
of Commerce. It has recently come to our attention that this is
a limited membership. Our Chamber contact has forwarded their
official policy on member organizations and non-profits.
It is as follows: "For non-profit organization and
membership organizations with paid staff, the Chamber's membership
benefits are extended to all members of the paid staff. For non-
profit organizations and membership organizations without a paid
staff, the Chamber's membership benefits are extended to the
organization's Board of Directors only, for their term in office
only. The organization is requested to provide the Chamber with an
up-to-date listing of their Board on an annual basis." Please
accept our apologies for any confusion.

Small Business Owners -- Too Much To Do? Not Enough Hours in
the Day?
Do you really have more to do than there are hours in the day?
Or do you have the right balance of activities but with daily
distractions preventing you from getting them all done? From the
convenience of your own office or home, we will help you uncover
the issues that steal your time. You'll manage your day more
effectively and become more productive! See your business move
forward more quickly when you realize how to get more out of
your days!
This two class Tele-Class allows you to stay at your
office. At just $79 for both classes, you'll take away at least
that much value, compared to your billable rates.
We'll help you find solutions to these frustrations we
often hear expressed in working with home based business owners:
-I can't find time for invoicing, marketing, classes ...
- I'm good at keeping up with appointments, but not with other
things to do.
- I feel splintered. Too many hands in too many pies. Can't get
enough done.
- I get so distracted working out of my home.
- Things take longer than they should.
- Setting priorities? My list is too long to begin with! - I
have too many things that are holding at "80% done."
