    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
Susan Weidner Cooke, President I hope all of you have enjoyed and fun and perhaps, restful summer. We are looking forward to starting our monthly membership meetings in the fall. Again this year it will be the 3rd Thursday of the month starting at 11:00 with registration and networking and then ending after the keynote speaker at 1:00.

September's meeting will include the installation of the new officers as well as Christine Hunt, Mrs. NH speaking on "Meeting Your Goals and Helping Others Along The Way". I have met Ms. Hunt on many occasions and she is a very impressive woman so I believe she has a lot to offer our members and guests.

The program committee is still finishing up the schedule of speakers for the year. The entire year should be officially completed and announced by the September meeting. They are still in the process of having sponsors for the meetings. If you are interested please contact me at 578-9899 X203.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and I will see you on September 17.

Respectfully Submitted,
Susan Weidner Cooke, President

"Women of Excellence: Setting Goals and Inspiring Others"
Date: Thursday, September 17, 2009
Time: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Location: Crowne Plaza Hotel, Exit 8, Nashua, NH

The art of excellence does not mean the absence of failure or the presence of perfection. Through practical and personal goal setting, you can begin to pull yourself out of stagnant waters and into the spring of personal accomplishment and destiny. As you begin to fulfill your potential, the initial "splash" of your success will create ripples that will influence and inspire those around you. Whether you have personal, professional, spiritual, or physical goals, you will be encouraged to get into the flow of fulfillment and onto the journey of excellence.

Please join us to hear Christine Hunt, former Mrs. New Hampshire speak about setting goals and inspiring others.
