| President's Message |
 Dear Network Ladies,
As the end of the year is nearing, I can’t help but reflect on this year. I often ask myself – what action did I make that would change someone’s life? I enjoyed reading Linda’s article in the last month’s newsletter. It spoke about our involvement in the non-profit sector of our community and contributions we make. There are many of us who are involved in a local organization that we believe in. We donate our time, expertise, and often money. I serve as a Vice President for Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center and have been a part of this organization for 6 years. I am honored to be a part of something bigger than my own world and excited about what I can contribute. I was also able to involve others in NEW during our fundraiser Diamonds and Dust in September, where many of the ladies graciously donated hundreds of dollars in products and services to support this great cause. I urge you to find out about ways you can help and contribute to a worthy cause and get involved immediately. There are many people in need in our community, and we can all make a difference with just a few hours or a few dollars per month.
If you are interested in learning more about non profits, please let me know and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

 Winter Fun Recipe by Kristie Lemon, Owner of High Desert Oasis
As winter approaches we get excited to dust off the snow sport equipment that has occupied dark storage recesses and pull out the warm clothes to bundle up against the elements. Whether your snow sport has snowshoes, skis, a board, an inner tube or all of these and a motor too you will want to prepare so you can fully enjoy the activity.

Live Long and Enjoy Life Part 2 by Kristina Bak, Author and Qigong Instructor
When you look at your reflection, do you give yourself a critical eye? Most of
us do. Hmmm...hair not great; are those new wrinkles, or just bad light in here?
Is that the way you'd greet a friend? How about, Hi there, Body! Hey Face, guess
what? We're still here! Thanks for showing up today. Good to see you.! Of course
you're imperfect; we all are - each in our own fascinating way. It's called
Being Human.

| Meet the Board |
 Meet Network Board Marketing Chair Andrea Wasilew-Larson, Strategic Director and Principal of Elure Marketing Group
At an early age, Andrea Wasilew-Larson learned the fine art of blending family and business from her parents. She and her Sister were given the opportunity to work for pay in their parents’ Northern Michigan Mini-Mart. “My big job was to help Mom bake the bread, make donuts and pies in the bakery. It was thrilling to help out with such an important job….and of course taste-test along the way. Customers could smell the aromas from down the street. The bakery was very popular I must say.” Andrea smiled proudly while describing the fond memory. “The experience of working at such a young age and growing up with entrepreneur parents gave us a life-long appreciation and inspiration for entrepreneurship, work-ethic and a drive to succeed.”

| Thank you Pot of Gold Donors |
Abby Voluse – Elite Repeat
Abby donated a high-end Kathy VanZeeleand purse and a variety of Arbonne skin care products. The winner also received a private shopping party at Elite Repeat, Bend’s upscale resale shop, for herself and 10 of her friends. The party includes 20% discounts on all purchases; food and beverages are provided and door prizes will be given away. Terry Robertson of Arbonne will give free makeovers and will have skin care products at discount prices. This gift is valued at $250.00.
Sandra Curry, L.Ac.M.Ac.OM
Sandra donated a complimentary new patient acupuncture treatment valued at $110.00. This was the perfect gift as we head into autumn and winter since acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can boost the immune system to prevent colds and flu, provide relaxation and peace of mind during the holiday season and promote digestion after those big, scrumptious holiday meals.
Diane Kulpinski, Kulpinski Photo
Diane donated a “Kick Start” to your fitness program by providing four personal training sessions with Kristie Lemon at the High Desert Oasis. This generous donation is valued at $280.00.
Elyse Douglas of Douglas Fine Jewelry Elyse donated a very unique contemporary pendant made of Sterling Silver, 10K Gold and a Fresh Water Pearl suspended from a black Rubber cord to accent the dark patina in the pendant. This stunning gift is valued at $185.00.
