Hello members!
The power of networking is evident here in this month’s Connections!
Judy Rodriguez of WatchAll thanks Terri Martini from Front Street Gourmet for hosting the Business After Hours in February. “A fun time was had by all,” said Judy, and we encourage all SSWBN members to consider hosting a BAH to showcase their places of business!
Brenda Wornum Moore of BWM Consulting sends a big thank you to Lois Wood for another outstanding bit of work she did for BWM Consulting, Inc. She designed and created a foldover mailer that Brenda needed for a direct mail campaign to reach targeted customers. Brenda writes, “I wanted something very creative that wouldn’t be thrown out as junk mail at the first look. Lois did a fantastic job meeting this goal. I am more than pleased and can’t say enough about Lois Wood Graphic.”
Cathy Follett from Renovisions would like to publicly thank Loraine Fields for stepping up and helping out at the recent Multi-Chamber Bowling Fundraiser held at Boston Bowl at Hanover. “All events of this type are much more successful when people are generous with their time. As Vice President of the Hanover Chamber of Commerce I would like to congratulate and welcome Loraine as one of our newest Hanover Chamber Board members” said Cathy.
Beth Sobiloff would like to thank Kristen Ford-Hernandez for referring her marketing clients to Birchwood Enterprises for website support and hosting. Beth said, “I really appreciate Kristen’s willingness to trust me with her clients, and I’m grateful that SSWN has given me the opportunity to meet people like Kristen.”
Janet LaBerge, of Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap is both the recipient of and the author of a number of Connections made this month. First, the acknowledgements she received:
Judy Rodriguez (WatchAll) writes, “I would like to thank Janet LaBerge for her willingness to let the network know what types of items she’s giving away from her clean-outs. She’s always ‘paying it forward’ by sharing her ‘treasures’ with the Network or giving the items away to those who are less fortunate. This is one of the reasons why I feel that Janet has a successful business: she’s always giving back.”
Another big thank you to Janet comes from Kathleen A. Keegan, REAL ESTATE ROCKS! & ASSOCIATES for giving her a referral for a listing in Pembroke. “I met with Lisa, the seller, and we had a great connection, ” said Kathleen. “I just got back from our meeting where they signed the Listing Agreement for their multi-family house in Pembroke, and I’m looking forward to working with Janet’s folks. U Rock, Janet!”
As an author of acknowledgements, Janet LaBerge (Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap) thanks Terri Martini of the Front Street Gourmet for referring Dirty Deeds to a friend in need of a clean out. “Always great to be referred to someone with a great sense of humor,” said Janet. Pulling out a big chest freezer that was duct-taped shut, Janet banged on the side away from the homeowner and made muffled “help me” sounds. After a few panicky seconds, the homeowner burst into laughter as she realized what was happening. Janet also thanks Kristen Ford-Hernandez of Premiere Pros for inviting Dirty Deeds to participate in the Home Show held recently at the Weymouth Health Club. “Coldstone Creamery giving away free ice cream samples sealed the deal,” for her participation, Janet said.
In addition, Janet gives her “annual thanks” to Elizabeth Pineault, CPA for “once again putting my QuickBook numbers into IRS readable forms.” Further, she thanks “all the good folks that helped to move stuff along from Dirty Deeds to new homes. Always good to have a team of resource reallocation specialists (a/k/a takers of stuff).”
As one of the above-referenced ‘reallocation specialists,’ I am sending Janet my personal and sincere thanks for the fantastic bureau and lamp she recently bestowed upon me! She truly does epitomize the ‘pay it forward’ attitude!
Finally, my editor acknowledges the Marketing Queen of the building trades, Allison Quinn Guido of Almar Building & Remodeling Company for sending out timely instructions and tips for anyone who may have gotten water in their basements last month. What a great public service!
Great submissions members! Keep ‘em coming and I hope you all have a terrific, productive and extremely successful April!
