President's Letter

Hello EWI of Tulsa!

October’s installation meeting was a great start to what I believe will be a great year.  Once again, I would like to thank my advisors, Janis Cohlmia, Judy Russell, Roberta Montgomery and Lisa Stansill for making this evening most special and memorable.

I am honored and privileged to have a board who embodies the “Can DO Will DO” attitude.  In September, I was encouraged by the number of members who signed-up to serve on the various committees. Personally, I believe this is the best way to get involved, get to know other members on a more personal level and to grow both personally and professionally. If you missed this meeting, please consider where you would like to serve and either contact the committee chair or me. 
As we start a new year, I want to remind the Chapter of the Proverb which says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together”.  I want us to go far!  I am asking the Tulsa Chapter to embrace the power of positivity and wear your bracelets which signifies the “Can DO Will DO” attitude of service.

November’s meeting will be honoring our Executive of the Year, Lynda Wingo. It will be held at the Mike Fretz Event Center located within the HBA of Greater Tulsa.  Please encourage your executive to attend.  This, too, will be a most special meeting.
I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meeting.

With my highest regards,

Trish

Presentation/Entertainment:
  • Very nice installation meeting. Can’t wait to see what this year holds for our chapter.
  • Lisa is leaving this chapter in such a great place and I know Trish will continue to build on the excellence. The bracelets were so thoughtful.
  • Installation was wonderful. Long evening but you always expect it to be longer when it is installation. Loved getting to hear from our Corporate President Felicia. She is very empowering and engaging. Looking forward to a fabulous year.
Catering:
  • Excellent menu but food was not a good temp when served.
  • The food was not the greatest in my opinion. It came cold and the chicken was tough and dry.
  • As I arrived late due to the valet it would have been nice to order a glass of wine with dinner. We were told by wait staff no wine is available since the wine service had stopped.
Venue:
  • Beautiful venue.
  • The room was beautiful, loved going somewhere new! I won't bring up the sound system, since everyone knows it was an issue.
  • Valet parking was nice, but had to wait a long time to get vehicle after meeting.

Tech Tips!

Reset and Restart!

 
Take time once in a while to clear out the clutter you have accumulated throughout the year on your tech devices!  Do you really need all those games installed on your phone?  Or all those extensions installed on your internet browser?  Not only does it make things run smoother, but it will also speed up whatever device you're using once all that extra fluff is gone!
