    Dear BPW Colleagues,
 
Susan Weidner Cooke, President It has been an exciting year at the Nashua BPW. A time in which, through our monthly meetings, I met many new people, heard some incredible speakers and re-connected with women from all walks of life that I hadn't seen for awhile. Personally, I will miss our 3rd Thursday meetings at the Crown Plaza. Every month I look forward to them as a time to I can relax with a group of women over a good meal and learn from the people around me, as well as, the speaker. Although we will not have any more monthly membership meetings until September, the Board and Committees will continue to meet throughout the summer to work on next year's goals and monthly meetings.
To end our year we had an Expo in June. It was a wonderful place to showcase your business. Please read further for particulars or contact pam@inhotwaterteas.com if you want further information.
On July 17th, the Board will be hosting a picnic at the Holistic Health Care Center, 12 Murphy Dr., Nashua. We hope you will come and enjoy the company, food and hopefully, nice weather. We will start around 11 and end by 1:00 just like our normal Thursday member meetings. For more information feel free to call me at 578-9899 X203.
We are still looking for a member to consider the role of Vice President. The term will start in September. Again, please call me for more information, or if you know of someone that may be interested in the position.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our picnic in July!
Respectfully Submitted,
Susan Weidner Cooke, President
