Thank you all for coming to our fourth Women Who Lunch/NYC at Amarone Restaurant!  It was a terrific success thanks to the all the women who gave up a part of their day to be with us and share their stories.  The day started with introductions, some funny, some heartwarming and all interesting.  We had a delicious and tasty lunch cooked by Chef Maria Sivori and her wonderful team at Amarone.

We next heard from Carol Scott who spoke on the “Seven Secrets of Success”.  Her determination and lighthearted manner inspired all of us to take a good look at ourselves and determine which obstacles may be holding us back from our personal definition of success.  Click here for a copy of Carol’s Seven Secrets of Success worksheet for those who would like to share.

We are also pleased to announce the kick off of our Women Who Lunch Club, which will entitle members to priority in the event of a sold out lunch.  All members also receive 10% off of future Women Who Lunch events.  Please contact me for more information!

Once again, we would like to thank everyone for participating in our Women Who Lunch event and we hope to see you all in the future!

~ Jill Markowitz, Associate Director of The I Can Still Do That Foundation

And a message from Dan Schneider, our Executive Director:

Thank you for a wonderful (and sold out) Women Who Lunch/NYC with Advisor Carol Scott speaking on “The Seven Secrets of Success” (see group photo above with report from Associate Director Jill Markowitz).  Thanks to Chef Maria Sivori, co-Facilitators Christina Bark and Elaine Totten Davis, and all who helped make that a success. Carol has agreed to a “return engagement” at a future First Mondays/NYC in the Winter or Spring.

We would like to expand Women Who Lunch to Philadelphia in the next few months. We have a new advisor (Dr. Jody Whitehouse) from Philly who has offered to help organize and we are looking for a co-facilitator to help her launch the event. If anyone knows any good women in Philly, please connect them with us. The larger the network, the stronger our community of creative entrepreneurs.

Our next First Mondays/NYC will be Oct. 3rd (6-9 PM) at the old Parlour, 250 West 86th Street.   We are hoping to learn some new dance steps (like The Kat Daddy) and brush up on old ones (like The Dougie).  Please bring friends. Please join our Facebook and LinkedIn groups.

Have a sweet New Year!!

Keep swinging,

Dan

PS- We have a new rule for Women Who Lunch “self-intros”: No mentioning the name Danny” Instead, please use the name “God” (for example: “I have known God for 20 years”. Its not about me, its about all of us.)

Our upcoming Women Who Lunch NYC is sold out!

The Women Who Lunch – Greater Boston convened on Monday, January 24th for
our third luncheon event. The event was held at UpStairs on the Square in
the privacy of the magnificently sunny “Shocking” Pink Zebra room.

It was a great pleasure sharing a lunch table with thirty-five exceptional
women who came to connect, network and enjoy lively conversation. Each woman
at our event had an opportunity to introduce themselves to the entire room
and the exchange was inspiring, powerful and fun.  Mary-Catherine Deibel,
owner of UpStairs on the Square, co-hosted the event with facilitators Robin
Lapidus and Elaine Davis. Everyone walked away, on a
“subzero” day with an extra reserve of warmth and ramped up energy.

Our next event will be held in the larger private Soiree Room at UpStairs on
the Square on Wednesday, March 2nd 2010.
