Presentation/Entertainment:
- I loved last night’s meeting!! The story behind City Lights was so inspiring and I am so glad I was able to relate to her. Great story!!
- This was one of the best presentations I have heard since being a part of EWI. I plan to make donations to them monthly.
- The speaker spoke from her heart and brought to my attention the details and needs of the Tulsa homeless. Excellent presentation!
Catering:
- The chicken and salad filled me up perfectly. The dessert was delicious and on point for the weather we have been having!
- One of the best salads I've ever had in my life! Dressing was so good.
- The salad was good; the cherry dessert could have been better if served warm.
Venue:
- Love to try new places and the centerpieces were exquisite. Cozy.
- The Hotel Indigo was beautiful as well as the Christmas decorations.
- The venue was convenient, provided easy parking and liked the new and modern appearance.

Diane shared the following memories and highlights: "My favorite highlight was our participation in the B/C/DP Kids' World at Expo Square. Our interactive tree booth reflected the 'Color Your World - Green' theme which impacted thousands of Tulsa children.
In addition, we had a great BEF committee that planned and executed our event featuring an inspirational message from Kyle Maynard. Over 400 attended, including many area educators, who joined us at TU’s Reynolds Center. We also honored Dr. Gene Callahan, Tulsa Technology executive, for his outstanding support to EWI and our Business and Education Forums.
My weekly communication to the Chapter representatives was titled, “Snapshot of the Week.” The communication sent out the week of December 18 was memorable due to the difficult decision we made to cancel our business meeting because of the huge ice storm that overtook the Tulsa area and resulted in extensive power outages to so many homes and businesses.
I am thankful for my dedicated board during my year as president. They were very supportive and pitched in wherever needed to help our Chapter accomplish out goals for 2007/2008."

Etiquette Tip
Writing Thank You Notes
|
|
|
In this age of instant messaging, it seems as though the handwritten thank you note has almost disappeared. The concept is simple; it’s a note written to show appreciation for a gift, a special occasion, or a thoughtful act.
In the website article, “Do's and Don’ts of Unforgettable Thank You Notes”, Donna Pilato emphasizes that, “Before all the other rules, just remember that an imperfect letter that comes with heartfelt sentiment is better than a perfect note that was never written.”
It’s simple; send a thank you note as quickly as possible (within a week) for any gift given that is not opened in the presence of the giver. Also, send a thank you note for any occasion that has touched your heart in a special way. A prime example is the great thank you note (see below) sent to a grandmother who spent the day with her granddaughter touring downtown Tulsa (a treasured keepsake, for sure).
Donna Pilato emphasizes, “The importance of personalized thank you letters cannot be stressed enough.”
