Hello Everyone,
What an eye opening presentation by our guest speaker Debbie Elsner. Debbie shared with us her presentation: HR 101, The Top 10 Things You Should Know. As business owners, we must be aware of many laws and regulations. The one thing Debbie repeated over and over was that once you have rules established within your business, you always need to follow your own rules! Other great takeaways from the presentation are; Document Everything and Have an Employee Manual. I truly appreciated Debbie’s presentation, it was one that shouldn't have been missed.
Yours,
Julie Rubsam

Cocktail hour began our evening as the "OLD," and the "NEW," faces of AWBO caught up on fellowship.
The Carved Roast Beef Dinner and White Fish entrees were shared with laughter, networking, photo's of the past and present successes of our AWBO Members.
When the dessert was served, the FUN began. Our own AWBO Members entertained us with fashion, style and a lot of attitude to create, a lot of fun! Our evening led off with fashions from Chico's.Deb Poelstra of Chico's did the commentary by educating us with style and the do's and don'ts of fashion.. . How to wear a scarf, Why to use a belt, and embellishments with jewelry for a great style and fit ensemble. AWBO has hidden talent as our members took the run way to show these wonderful fashions. Our own, LeAnn Lehr from Cato's took the podium. Models strutted their stuff to entertain us on the what is new and fun in Fashion at Cato's.
