Inside this issue:
Georgia Adult Education Association www.gaea.org
Bob Littell, based in Atlanta and creator of the “NetWeaving” concept has written three books on the subject which is best char-acterized as a Golden Rule and Pay It Forward form of network-ing.
His 2nd book, “The Heart and Art of NetWeaving” is printed by Xerox so all proceeds go to char-ity. NetWeaving is consistent with other cultures around the world and has become a global phenomenon, as you can see if you „Google‟ the word.
Bob explains why in the long-run, and often much sooner, your NetWeaving efforts and activities will always outperform those of more traditional and more self-centered networking.
People consistently comment
what they like best about his talks
is how they come away having
learned specific skill sets and
action steps which they can im-
mediately apply to their business
and personal lives.

Nestled amid live oak trees draped in Spanish moss, this Victorian
landmark enjoys a setting of unspoiled natural beauty on Jekyll Island.
The island is protected from extensive development by the state of
Georgia and has miles of beaches and forest waiting to be explored.
Here, millionaires wintered in scenic seclusion for decades, enjoying
many amenities and privileges. The club was returned to its original
elegance, highlighted by leaded art glass windows, ornate woodwork
and Rumford fireplaces. From its lofty tower to encircling verandas,
Victorian charm still permeates the public areas and rooms
once occupied by America’s wealthiest families.
