Nat. Speakers Assn. party

I had the privilage to attend the Christmas party for the local chapter of the National Speaker's Association a couple Friday's ago and what an honor. Great food, great drink and abosolutely AWSOME people networking. Met many wonderful people who make a living speaking, several who said they would like to work with me. ME! I was greeted with open arms as if I was one of them, truly made me feel special. Soon I hope to be entering the Pro Track course and getting my certification.

Special thanks to Karen Ryan (the Oprah of Fowlerville) who took me as her guest. Karen currently is enrolled in Pro Track and in addition to being a speaker, Karen runs a thriving tax business and operates the Wedding Chapel of Fowlerville.

One encounter at the party has already evolved into a future meeting, Lynn Jarret and I will be getting together after Christmas to discuss working with youth. Many thanks to all and to all a good night.

Thanks for reading along.
