SSWBN – Pay It Forward, December 2011
Spanx you very much!
If I had to write a press release for the Gala, that would be my headline. This was a fancy event and our members and guests came dressed to the nines. I made an attempt to dress to the nines myself and wore (yes, you guessed it) another dress. Hence the reference to spanx. At 51 years of age, I had no idea
there was such a thing as spanx. Judging by the reaction of the women in the room, everyone BUT me knows what spanx is.
Here’s what I learned from my experience: 1) If …

SSWBN “Pay It Forward” Janet LaBerge, November 2011
By the time you read this, we will have had our Gala 20th Anniversary celebration, commemorating the 20th year of SSWBN. If I forget to mention it in next month’s column, I’ll say it now: “I had a great time at the Gala.” I can say that truthfully
without having yet attended the event because I enjoy myself at every SSWBN event.
OK, I never have met a microphone that I didn’t like and I do get to tell a joke or two: but that’s just an added bonus for me. What I really enjoy most is the …

SSWBN – Pay It Forward, October 2011
The kids are back in school and networking is back in full swing. I hope that all of our members had a great summer and enjoyed some well deserved time off. The weather is already getting cooler and the sun setting earlier every evening.
Fall seems a natural time to reflect on how the first three quarters of the year Read more >>
have gone, and to make a final push for the last part of the year. It’s a tough thing to do for Dirty Deeds, as fall is our busiest time of year. I think it’s because so many people start …
SSWBN Pay It Forward – September, 2011
Networking usually slows down a little during the dog days of August. Lots of folks are on vacation with their families and trying to catch the last of the good summer weather before the kids head back to school.
This year was a bit of an exception to that for the SSWBN. Our first ever Harbor Cruise out of Hingham Shipyard was a big success and attracted lots of non-SSWBN members. The feedback that we got from people who had never been to any of our events reinforced the idea that people are looking to network in new and innovative ways. …

Pay It Forward, August 2011
I attended the breakfast this month to hear Robert Siciliano speak. I’m always grateful to the Network for providing me with the opportunity to find out how little I know about certain things.
Mr. Siciliano spoke about identity and document theft, explaining how to protect oneself. I was amazed by how little I knew about the subject. I like to think that I’m a pretty responsible person because I protect myself and my family with life, home and disability insurance. While I was listening to the speaker, I realized that I hadn’t protected my business, my bank accounts or my …
