| Next meeting topic for Tuesday, September 9th at Noon: |
We All Have A Story To Tell
We’ve entered the post-advertising age, and all the rules have suddenly changed. People have become more drawn to genuine stories rather than convincing arguments, and it’s time that businesses reached deep inside of themselves, discovered a story worth telling, and placed it into forefront of their communication. Garrett will share a few examples of stories worth telling from the clients he’s worked with, as well ways that you may discover your own.
Garrett Curry of Raygun Workshop is a brand strategist who tells true stories with pixels, print and people. He lives in Carmel, Indiana with his wife Julia Curry (Eating Psychology Coach), two children and their dog, Spike Murphy.

Hi AWBO members and non-members!
I am on the hospitality committee and I take AWBO and my office very serious. Let me tell you what makes it important. Meeting with members monthly builds friendships. I meet new women who have used their imaginations to bring income to their households. Many of them have helped me in various ways.
Another wonderful thing about AWBO, are the speakers. One of them was Tenecia Waddell. She was this years YWCA Woman of Innovation Honoree. She is a police officer on the Purdue Police Department. Although her talk was entitled "Safety in the work place", I learned some very helpful things about keeping safe while shopping, as well as in the parking lot. "Whenever being confronted by an attacker, always look them in the face. Don't let them feel you fear." Same goes for the work place...how to handle unwanted advances/harassment.
It is wonderful to see so many ladies visiting our luncheon meeting and becoming members, "Welcome to each of you! See you soon?"
