My suggestion for a Father's Day present and/or a Father's Day that was memorable:
- This year will be the first without my Dad. My Dad didn't ask for much. Just watching the race with him was his greatest pleasure.
- Put together a photo album with great pics of my son and his Dad - precious memories when he was growing up with a great Dad.
- The year my mom and all her sisters (5) gave my grandfather a subscription to the Tulsa World and said... We love you so much, we wanted to give you The World!
- Cake of the month club was the best gift ever for my Dad!
- My Dad was in the Army and I think his favorite Father's Day was when he was stationed in Germany during the energy crisis. There was no driving on Sundays, and we walked to a local restaurant to celebrate his day with schnitzel and beer!
- My Dad loved chocolate so that was always my "go to" gift along with a new tie for Sunday mass.

World Travel Service – 29 Years
Kacie Baker, Representative
Twenty-nine years! That is a longstanding partnership that World Travel is proud to hold with EWI. The representative spot for our company recently became open, and I was eager to volunteer. I am a new representative coming onboard in March 2021 and have only attended one virtual meeting so far. I am excited about the education, connections and relationships that I know this membership will bring. I look forward to meeting each of you! I have been with World Travel going on eight years and love everything about this company.
World Travel is headquartered in Tulsa and is a nationally recognized travel company that's been in business since 1959. Although we've been in business more than 60 years, it's really been over the last 15 years that we’ve committed ourselves to offering truly innovative and strategic travel solutions to our clients. It’s a commitment that has driven us to evolve from a traditional travel agency into a sophisticated travel consultancy, a trusted partner if you will, who provides our clients with cost saving and value-added strategic solutions for all their travel needs. This past year has looked different in almost every aspect of life, travel included. But we are excited that travel within our borders is ticking up quickly for both business and vacation. If you have a passion for travel and are interested in keeping up to date with all the ever-changing rules about returning to travel, then sign up for our weekly newsletter - World Travel Weekly. Simply send an email to me, kbaker@worldtvl.com and we can get you added!

Build a Momentum Mindset: How to Conquer Change, Boost Resilience, and Accelerate Your Success No Matter What!
Kim Becker, Presenter
Change, uncertainty and disruption are guaranteed – especially now. But growth and progress are not. How you deal with this ever-changing high stress pandemic and post-pandemic world is completely up to you. You have a choice. You can stay stuck or develop a Momentum Mindset® so that you can move forward and grow with grit in the midst of the change and uncertainty.
Kim shares her own stories of resilience in life and business with healthy doses of vulnerability, humor, and motivation and will share how to use resilience to not only navigate and cope during change and uncertainty, but build a Momentum Mindset where you push past limited thinking and use the adversity, change and uncertainty in your life and the world as the fuel needed to propel you forward – stronger and better than before.
Leave this program equipped with the tools you need to transform your mindset to think differently, conquer change and challenges and create the everyday resilience required in this ever-changing complex pandemic world to build momentum and accelerate your success NO MATTER WHAT!
Leave this program learning how to:
- Enhance your ability to adapt to change, deal with the unexpected, and develop greater flexibility
- Develop key techniques and simple mindset shifts you can use to reduce stress
- Maintain a positive attitude, create more focus, and become more present, productive, engaged, and connected
