SEPTEMBER 2017 - OBWA NETWORKING & DINNER MEETING
 The Orillia Business Women’s Association (OBWA) meets every second Wednesday of the Month (September thru June) at the Best Western Mariposa INN and Conference Centre at 400 Memorial Ave. Orillia for Networking, Fun, Food and to hear a wonderful Guest Speaker.
OBWA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
It is hard to believe it is already September! A lot of us are back to a more rigid routine with many commitments. It's time to get back to business. The OBWA executive met several times over the summer months and we have some exciting new ideas that we will be sharing very soon. I had a lot of women contact me these past few months inquiring about the OBWA and I am happy to announce that we have some new members. Growth in our group continues and it is very exciting. At the dinner meeting in September, I encourage you, if you can, to take full advantage of the 45 minutes of "networking" at the beginning of the evening. This is when great business connections can be made. Also, don't forget that we have tables set up so you can display products, catalogues, business cards, etc. I look forward to seeing all your familiar faces and meeting our new members and, of course, having a fun evening with a delicious dinner. Register for the dinner/meeting soon and I will see you September 13th.
Yours in friendship and business,
Shelle Hossack
