Message from the President

Dear SRN Members:

Happy Spring! -- we missed our March luncheon due to snow, and postponed the business seminar with Dhyan Atkinson, also.

So, I don't have any updates from last month's "happenings." But I look forward to a good meeting this month. It is always interesting and possibly instructive, to hear what others are doing business-wise. We'll also have a speaker (see the note below) and we've re-scheduled the seminar!

In these times, when we want our businesses to produce a decent return on our time, we have to take action. We can learn a few ideas from Dhyan that will help us do that! I know it is beneficial, I've consulted with her personally.

Please bring any updates you have on brochure placements, or ideas of where to place them.

I hope to see many of you on Thursday, April 30.

Guests are always welcome!

Marci Heiser
President

This Months Event

Mark your calendar, so you are sure to attend the April meeting.
We are going to have Loren Korel, owner and designer of The Heavenly Sewing Chair. His chairs are functional and attractive.
Loren will cover sewing posture, back support, and lumbar support. Why it is important to offer various sizes to accommodate body size, as well as assorted fabrics to satisfy our need for color and design.
Be sure not to miss this opportunity to learn about chairs and what is needed in design to reduce our fatigue when spending a day at the machine.

Upcoming Happenings
