July 2013

Inside this issue:

tions. At our meetings, there’s excite-

ment created by our warm and friendly

atmosphere. Very importantly, members

are making business connections

through ABWA.

It’s my pleasure to have served as your

President during the past two years. To

quote Zig Ziglar, “A lot of people have

gone farther than they thought they

could because someone else thought

they could”. We have empowered each

other to grow personally and profession-

ally which is priceless. I am forever

grateful to have had the opportunity to

serve as your chapter President and

Trendsetter bus driver.

I wish the best of luck to our incoming

President Dominique Fruchtman and her

team – Bev Licata, Dee Ryberg, Laurie

Renner, & Kelli Cox.

Your Chapter President,

Cheryl Uyemura

COW TIPS

From DESERT

COW COMPUTERS By Dominique Frucht-

man

Technical Tips from Mark and Dom of

Desert Cow Computers

Do you know the best time of year to

buy a new computer? It's soon!

One of the best times to get a new

desktop computer or laptop is in July

and August when superstores and

Office Supply stores stock heavily

for Back To School.

Every year, lots of young adults go

off to college for the first time and

it’s common to send them off with a

new PC or laptop. Inventory is high

and sales are abundant. Some-

times bundled deals can be a great

way to stretch your dollar. You may

find a desktop with a monitor

thrown in or a laptop with a printer

thrown in. These bundles can save

you money and it’s a great way to

get more bang for your buck.

Harvey Announces Launch

While you’re looking for a new PC, you

should be aware that Windows 8 is all

that's available in stores, but if you'd like a

Windows 7 PC, they can be found -- just

ask your computer professional.

Coach’s

Corner

with

Sunny Simon

Dear Coach:

Well it’s here…summer in the desert.

I find myself a bit down. Unfortunately

I cannot afford to run away to the

beach for a month, or visit my snow-

bird friends in Seattle. Nor can I join

my girlfriends on a trip or a fun cruise

they have planned. I cannot leave my

business right now. Any hints on how

to get out of my funk?

Sometimes it’s good to be left behind.

As most of the clan gets out of Dodge

to escape the heat, they take with

them many distractions. I love my

snowbird friends, but admittedly I

look forward to the respite. My ad-

vice…set some 60 day goals.

Do some mini-reinventions. For ex-

ample if you cannot afford a vaca-

tion, focus on some financial goals.

Try creating a budget and tracking

every cent you spend for the next 60

days. Scour the resale shops for

good bargains rather than paying full

-up at the mall. Do you really need a

landline phone? Perhaps your cell is

all you need.

Feeling lonely with the gang away?

Connect with someone new every

day. You can do this by following

someone new on Twitter, expanding

your Facebook friends or joining a

new Meet-Up group. Leave a com-

ment on a blog site. Bloggers love

hearing from you. Feeling creative?

Reach out by starting your own blog!

Think personal development. Make it a

point to learn one new thing every day.

Perhaps the word of the day, try new

recipes or take an online course.

Finally, I recommend that during the

next two months you read The Happi-

ness Project by Gretchen Rubin. It is

thought provoking and inspirational.

You can even sign up for a daily happi-

ness quote at her website: http://

www.happiness-project.com/

The June 27, 2013 Board meeting was

called to order by President Cheryl Uye-

Sharron Zarres applied for and received

the full Business Skills Tuition Reim-

of $250. All members are encouraged

to apply for this reimbursement which is

awarded annually as part of the SBMEF

share the $250.

There was much discussion of following

our Standing Rules “No Show” dinner

policy.

We currently have 58 members if all our

July renewals are paid on time. New

member installation will take place at

the July meeting for all members who

have not been officially installed.

The member interest survey concerning

new programs is posted on WIN. All

There are many different ways to set up shots when photographing people. In example 1, I photographed Barbara Larsh and

her granddaughter with a wide perspective to show a sense of place; this photo was taken at our ABWA meeting on June 18.

In the next example, I zoomed in to eliminate clutter and to isolate them from the background a bit. You still get the sense of

place but without the white table cloths on either side of them. I also had the subjects tilt their heads towards each other,

which gives them a sense of connection,

and the photo a feeling of affection.

Photography tips by Patricia Finn

Patricia Finn Photography

Vibrations of Happiness Art Cards

[email protected]

Photography a Snap with Tips from Patricia Finn

Many people think that if they brave

the heat and come down in sum-

mer that they’ll get a better price on

a Real Estate purchase. Is this

true?

We asked Rosemary Woodward,

Broker of Bella Rosa Realty and

ABWA member since 2003.

“People who look at Real Estate here in the hot summer

months typically are serious about making a purchase.

They’re focused and “on a mission”. So while there may be

FEWER buyers around in summer, there’s still plenty of

COMPETITION.

This year, the inventory is very low, and when a property

comes on the market AND IS PRICED RIGHT, we often see

several offers come in on it right away.

So, ‘lower prices’ in summer? ‘Desperate sellers’ in sum-

mer? Not this year! The GOOD THING about buying a prop-

erty during these next few months is that there probably

won’t be AS MUCH COMPETITION as there will be in the up-

coming season.

My advice to buyers: (1) Be prepared with either your proof

of cash or your loan (2) have the mindset that if you find

something you like you’ll jump in immediately with an offer.

Rosemary Woodward, Bella Rosa Realty 760.341.1231

HOT TEMPERATURES = LOWER REAL ESTATE PRICES?

Speed Networking!

It’s like speed dating!

It’s a quick way for members to reach

many guests in one evening. Invite

guests who would like to market their

business! With more guests, we all get

to network with more people and have

the benefit of a one on one introduc-

tion.

Tell everyone you know this is a fun

way to market their business at our

Speed Networking event July 16.
