- Patricia says:
What's the difference between 'friend" can "network with"?
- Patricia says:
Sandy, does your family get together at all or are you living far apart?
- Ginger Marks says:
a friend is someone that you have a direct connection to. You have exchanged email addresses
- Patricia says:
I've got 3 of those so far...what do "friends" do?
- Ginger Marks says:
Network with allows them to visit YOUR friends and say hello
- sandymorgan, dreamcatcher says:
spread throughooout MN
- Ginger Marks says:
friends support each other. I like to get snail mail addresses from friends, then I know they really want a FRIEND and not just a sales contact.
- Patricia says:
Sandy, that could be hard, I think. My kids are only an hour or so away, but it's hard to get thogether. Same for youi?
- Ginger Marks says:
We had family come from as far as CA to FL for Thanksgiving!

Was great!

[12:56:25 PM] Larissa Glück says: Hi sandy
[12:56:43 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: she left, never her of skyop
[12:56:55 PM] Ginger Marks says: interesting
[12:56:58 PM] Ginger Marks says: too bad
[12:57:16 PM] Ginger Marks says: guess she wasn't Patrysha Korchinski
[12:57:18 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: hey lady
[12:58:13 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: no, wonder who she is
[12:59:12 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: could be on new member list
[12:59:25 PM] Ginger Marks says: must be
[12:59:51 PM] Larissa Glück says: So what is the topic?
[1:00:03 PM] Larissa Glück says: I am through all messages now.
[1:00:17 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: lol
[1:00:19 PM] Ginger Marks says: Open Forum
[1:00:38 PM] Larissa Glück says: ok
[1:00:50 PM] Ginger Marks says: do you have any idea how to keep the sisters alive?
[1:01:09 PM] Ginger Marks says: we are not getting the numbers or revenue to keep afloat
[1:01:27 PM] Larissa Glück says: Well, I saw a list on the website who is in. Rarely saw the people in the chat.
[1:01:32 PM] Ginger Marks says: we didn't even have the fall fling this year, due to lack of interest
[1:01:58 PM] Larissa Glück says: Hmmm, that is strange.
[1:02:05 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: what broke it up?
[1:02:19 PM] Larissa Glück says: i had computer trouble this year.
[1:02:37 PM] Ginger Marks says: Don't know. Just lack of interest.
[1:02:51 PM] Ginger Marks says: Only a couple of people even PMd me about it
[1:02:57 PM] Larissa Glück says: I think the connection is missing.
[1:03:06 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: or time....
[1:03:32 PM] Larissa Glück says: Well if the connection is there you find the time.
[1:04:19 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: true
[1:04:22 PM] Larissa Glück says: How can we connect people to the idea of winning sisters?
[1:05:32 PM] Larissa Glück says: I think it is there to help each other.
[1:05:50 PM] Larissa Glück says: Ginger, are you still with us?
[1:06:05 PM] Ginger Marks says: yes, that is the purpose
[1:06:17 PM] Ginger Marks says: however, maybe they don't want help anymore.
[1:06:38 PM] Larissa Glück says: I think many are looking for help.
[1:06:46 PM] Ginger Marks says: you would think so
[1:06:58 PM] Larissa Glück says: yes, definetivly.
[1:07:11 PM] Ginger Marks says: How do we reach them?
[1:07:21 PM] Larissa Glück says: So maybe we have to strenghten that.
[1:07:36 PM] Larissa Glück says: that is the question.
[1:07:53 PM] Larissa Glück says: What can we offer, that atracts them?
[1:08:18 PM] Larissa Glück says: Should we take a fee from the small sisters?
[1:08:38 PM] Larissa Glück says: So there is more value behind.
[1:09:54 PM] Ginger Marks says: I don't think at this time people have money to give.
[1:09:58 PM] Ginger Marks says: Time maybe
[1:10:03 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: ssmaller groups maybe'
[1:10:21 PM] Ginger Marks says: how much smaller can we get - three attendees!
[1:10:22 PM] Ginger Marks says: LOL
[1:10:30 PM] Larissa Glück says: Well sure. On the other hand if it is free there is less commitment.
[1:10:44 PM] Larissa Glück says: And the little sisters get help.
[1:10:47 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: like foca
[1:11:04 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: LOL
[1:11:04 PM] Larissa Glück says: what is foca?
[1:11:06 PM] Ginger Marks says: I think it is more a matter of making folks aware
[1:11:19 PM] Larissa Glück says: both.
[1:11:22 PM] Ginger Marks says: foccacia - bread! Yumm!
[1:11:28 PM] Ginger Marks says: getting hungry!
[1:11:39 PM] Larissa Glück says: People have to commit to it.
[1:11:41 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: FOCUS groups
[1:11:46 PM] Ginger Marks says: Article marketing
[1:11:50 PM] Ginger Marks says: that would help
[1:11:54 PM] Larissa Glück says: Ah, yes, I too.
[1:11:57 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: sorry
[1:12:12 PM] Larissa Glück says: ok
[1:12:14 PM] Ginger Marks says: would you two be willing to write articles to promote the group?
[1:12:29 PM] Ginger Marks says: Blog & twitter about it?
[1:12:36 PM] Larissa Glück says: sure, if you proofread it.
[1:12:39 PM] Ginger Marks says: that might help too
[1:12:46 PM] Larissa Glück says: ok
[1:12:51 PM] Ginger Marks says: definitely we can both help with that.
[1:13:02 PM] Larissa Glück says: good.
[1:13:03 PM] Ginger Marks says: Sandy is a good writer
[1:13:32 PM] Larissa Glück says: Where can we publish them?
[1:13:37 PM] Ginger Marks says: talk about it where ever you go.
[1:13:45 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: yeah, take things from site to twitter
[1:13:57 PM] Ginger Marks says: do a google search for free article submission
[1:14:13 PM] Ginger Marks says: there's tons of places
[1:14:23 PM] Larissa Glück says: I think if we find the right submissions that will be the best.
[1:14:45 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: thks g
[1:14:57 PM] Larissa Glück says: What about if litle sisters decide about there own fee.
[1:15:47 PM] Larissa Glück says: That way they know what they can afford and have to find out what value they put in getting help.
[1:16:07 PM] Ginger Marks says: the way the economy is right now and with the holidays I don't feel comfortable with starting fee based.
[1:16:13 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: why not have a charity-type thing
[1:16:19 PM] Ginger Marks says: Besides, we are a not-for-profit
[1:16:36 PM] Larissa Glück says: We can give that to charity.
[1:16:55 PM] Ginger Marks says: maybe. WBO might adopt us for a quarter if we were listed as a non-profit
[1:16:58 PM] Ginger Marks says: licensed
[1:17:05 PM] Ginger Marks says: but who can afford that right now?
[1:17:08 PM] Ginger Marks says: Not I!
[1:18:01 PM] Larissa Glück says: That is why we can find a charity and they give to them.
[1:18:43 PM] Larissa Glück says: If we write that in an article charities will promote us too.
[1:19:13 PM] Ginger Marks says: I had a thought
[1:19:18 PM] Larissa Glück says: Or do you have another idea to get commitment.
[1:19:24 PM] Larissa Glück says: tell us
[1:19:43 PM] Ginger Marks says: I will announce a special focus meeting where we can come up with more ideas and get more input.
[1:19:57 PM] Ginger Marks says: Then we will see if anyone attends that meeting.
[1:20:00 PM] Larissa Glück says: ok.
[1:20:05 PM] Larissa Glück says: ok.
[1:20:18 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: gd idea
[1:20:35 PM] Ginger Marks says: :D
[1:20:52 PM] Ginger Marks says: I come up with 'em once in a while! Eh Larissa?
[1:21:08 PM] Larissa Glück says: yes, Ginger?
[1:21:31 PM] Dreamcatcher Sandy says: if it does nt fly, we know

[1:22:32 PM] Ginger Marks says: OK, I'm gunna go get lunch
