Catch up with a few friends!

Bling News – January 2010

Message from Anne

Hi Friends and Members,

I am on “Delay Mode” this winter – apologies for the delay distribution of Bling News. Before anyone can blink their eyes, it will be February already. What have you done lately? I have been catching up with friends! So happy to hear from a few friends whom I have not been in touch with for some time. Also, our Bling Club Social Chicago members have been getting more involved in the "Champion" role, hosting gatherings at their area! We do have a lot of great events and projects installed for the upcoming months.
Ladies, got your New Year resolutions down yet? I know so far I have tried the “Bender Ball”, Stepper and Cycling like a hampster daily, eating more fruits but still keeping up with my chocolate and mascarpone, the continuous endeavour to success!!!!! Whew!

HAITI RESCUE EFFORTS

Many organizations have worked hard to put together efforts to the Haiti Rescue and many of us have made generous donations to these organizations. Before you decide where you want to donate your money to, please research carefully and don't become a victim of fraud. Feel free to send in organization contacts or sites for our readers for reference. A few in mind are WorldVision, RedCross, Salvation Army...

LADIES, DON’T BE BASHFUL, LEARN A FEW MOVES!

When: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 5:30 PM

Price: $35.00 per person

Where:
Port Edwards
Algonquin Rd & Harrison Street On The Fox River
Algonquin, IL 60102

We are excited to have Linda Azarela teach the group self-defense moves. Linda feels it is imperative that women and children know how to defend themselves in all situations.

Linda has been certified in Tae Kwon Do and holds a second-degree black belt. She has taught karate and ballroom dancing. Linda also instructs ballroom dancing to many folks who want to do special dances at their wedding receptions.

She is the CEO of Azarela Commercial Driving School and has two locations. One in W Dundee and the other in Elgin. She has recently written a book called: Learn How to DRIVE and SURVIVE which will be on the book shelves the end of February 2010.

You will have the opportunity to practice these moves after the dinner.

Bring plenty of business cards as there will be lots of networking before, during and after the meeting!
