November 2012

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

November is the time of year that reminds me to show gratitude more freely. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Auction last month. We could not have accomplished such a great event without the generosity of so many! My heartfelt thanks goes to Julie Sanders and Nicole Meyer for putting on such a wonderful event. I would also like to thank those who serve on the Executive Board. They have donated a lot of time on behalf of Women in Business – planning, scheduling and following up on events. They are so willing to give of their time and talents to benefit the Women in Business organization. Before I start sounding like an Emmy recipient, I would like to thank all of you, as members of Women in Business. You have shown such kindness to me this year and I truly appreciate your example, your willingness to give to our organization and especially your friendship. Please plan to join us for November’s luncheon, “Hands-On Social Media”. The featured speaker will be Jacoba Poppleton and will be held at New Dawn Technologies. Remember to RSVP on-line. I look forward to seeing you there! Tammy Selley

They are the best part of life. Denise also loves spending time at her family cabin in Central/Southern Utah where she goes 4 wheeling and Fishing.

Zions leads all other financial institutions in Utah in marketing SBA loans to women- and minority-owned businesses.

Drum Roll… 2012 Women in Business Annual Auction Results Well, Ladies – CONGRATULATIONS! We accomplished our goal and surpassed last year’s auction proceeds by $279, raising an impressive $1,916 (2012: 46 donated items = $1,916; 2011: 52 donated items = $1,637) – not bad for a one-hour silent and live auction! One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction, nearly $2,000, go directly into the 2013 scholarship fund to be awarded to women who are pursuing their education in a business related field. If you are new to Women in Business and as a general review to members, below are the criteria and requirements for the annual scholarship program. Advertising and application distribution will begin in January, and applications are accepted through mid-March. If you know a woman who meets the criteria and requirements be sure to encourage them to apply. Last year Women in Business awarded $8,000 in scholarships, the largest accumulative dollar amount to date. Thank you to all members who donated items, those who attended the auction luncheon and who purchased items – this would not have been possible without your support. Also, thanks to Riverwoods Conference Center for donating the room, Elements for catering the lunch at their cost, and to our auctioneer, Chance Getz, for donating his time and good nature. Everyone’s generosity is acknowledged and appreciated! Thank you all so much, Julie Sanders, 2012/2013 Past Scholarship Chair
