Please consider the orphanage's plight since the earthquake, and the need for fun and smiles to uplift them.

A Playground for Haiti

URGENT CALL FOR ITEMS & HELP.
Our last turn out was a success, allowing us to fill a quarter of our available space in the storage container. However, this leaves us only 25% toward our goal of filling the entire shipping container. The container is scheduled to leave this Saturday, meaning we are in a crunch to finish collecting the sports equipments and items for the orphanage in Haiti. We know that with your help we can fill this container and provide a playground for the orphans of Haiti.

The orphanage we are seeking to put the playground in is managed by Ms. Miriam Freder-ick. She has managed the home for 34 years, working no only to help those children at this home, but to also help other smaller orphanages to grow. There is so much need and so little items, anything you can donate will help tremendously.

We plan on shipping the container this Saturday and then meeting the container in Haiti in July to deliver your donations to the orphanage. We will be working with volunteers there to establish the playground, installing the playground equipment and meeting the children.

Most importantly, THANK YOU from Sports Build Coalition and the Plageman family to everyone who has worked to help get the play spaces and items to New Life Children's Home in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We look forward to putting more smiles on those bewildered children's faces! APPRECIATE SO MUCH ANY HELP YOU CAN BE...again! PLEASE ROAM YOUR GARAGE OR CLOSETS! ASK FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!! Our next campaigns will reach further and rely less on our friends and associates...need is so great NOW!!

You can read more of that story on the website, too. The Campaign starts July 1, 2010 and ends at The Shell Factory & Nature Park, Saturday, July 31, 2010 where the treasure chest and prizes will be unveiled and given to the community treasure hunters who were successful at navigating through the ten treasure maps.  Answers to clues about the North Fort Myers Chamber Members will be found on the chamber's website, members' websites, or at local businesses.  The July 31st event runs from 11:00am to 2:00pm.  There will be a Local Business Expo with give-a way's, free hotdogs and lemonade for the kids.  The first 60 kids arriving to the event will receive a  "Back to School Back Pack" from North Fort Myers Honorary Mayor, John Gardner and Marco Office Supply.   Best Buy, will have an experience station set up in Captain Fishbones Restaurant(Dolphin Room), with fun and play for everyone.

Powerful You

by Eluise Gambino & Rosalynn Berardesca

Ladies,

Come be part of the change as we gather women from Cape Coral & Ft. Myers for this one-of-a-kind type of gathering. These meetings are open to women from all walks of life! That's what makes us different, we believe powerful connections are made regardless of the "title or position" you hold in life! Stay at home Moms, women in transition, entrepreneurs, retired women and CEO's of large corporations are just as welcomed! There is just only requirement: you must be a WOMAN!!!

Come join us at one or both of our two meetings monthly:

Cape Coral Luncheon ~ 2nd Wednesday of every month
http://powerfulyou.com/Network_Meetings/FL_Cape_Coral.htm


Ft. Myers Evening Gathering ~ 3rd Tuesday of the month
http://powerfulyou.com/Network_Meetings/FL_Ft_Myers.htm 

Take a look at the type of feedback we get from our attendees...

"Great meeting tonight as always. Powerful YOU allows me to take a breathe and inspires me to LEAP! Empowering! :) I appreciate all of your effort and I am so thankful for our group and the friendships that we are forming!" Katy Badgley of Special Deliveriez INC

"I joined this network of powerful women -- Powerful You! -- to enrich my life and continue to grow on a personal and spiritual level." Best to you all, Joan

"I enjoyed the meeting so much on Tuesday evening at the Ft. Myers Chapter. I'll be honest—I was expecting a networking group with the "infamous business card drop" that really is uncomfortable and unproductive. Thanks for bringing something different to this area and for creating a very comfortable environment for women to share business ideas and really get to know each other. It was very nice to meet all of you and learn more about your gifts and talents! I look forward to coming to the next meeting." Lori

Meetings include:  Introductions, mini-mastermind, discussion topic, networking tip, speaker presentation, growth and success share, gratitude share, inspiration, motivation and connections...

What is "The Powerful You! Difference"? 


Powerful You! is about making connections, creating powerful relationships and "Networking With a Heart", regardless of your "title"! Powerful You! welcomes women from all walks of life, without any requirements or expectations. If you plan on living your best life, join us and become part of our Powerful You! Family. Come have some fun, make new friends and create new opportunities at our events. Being part of our family assists you in becoming empowered with positive energy, inspiration, motivation and enlightenment, professionally, personally and spiritually!

We look forward to meeting you all at our next meeting!
