Happy New Year! January is the time of resolutions – both personal and business.  What is your resolution for this year?  Is it to get to know your fellow members better?   

Have you ever wondered about the person who sits beside you at a meeting. Here’s your chance to answer some of these questions about your table mates.  Our meeting will be filled with networking, finding out about as many members as you can.  Don’t be afraid ….you might miss out on learning about someone’s passion or business that you’ve been wondering about for a long time. 

The Core has been asked to add more detailed business questions to our “Getting to Know You” challenge.  To that end we will use today’s meeting to address some of the more in-depth questions that may help others with their business.

Our speakers this month are Wanda, Gina and Kendra who will be discussing Death, Debt and Destruction - planning, protection and investment opportunities. 

Within 24 hours after registering for the event you will receive an automatic email notifying you that you are registered for the event. If this does not occur please contact Ms. Megan Chatry at: VancouverReservations@ValleyWomensNetwork.com before noon on Friday, January 22nd.
