Connections is your opportunity to send out kudos for a job well done and thanks for referrals to fellow Network members who’ve helped you in your business or personal life. Its also a great way to get your name out in front of the SSWBN membership on a regular basis. I am seeking a replacement as columnist for the Connections Column. If you are interested and have questions, please contact me. It takes very little time each month, but offers a nice opportunity for name recognition and to get to know many Network members. I’ve enjoyed writing the column, but feel it’s time to let someone else have the opportunity. Thanks! Lisa Rooney, LRB Direct, www.lrbdirect.com, wishes to thank Mary McElroy, McElroy Associates, for helping her use my computer software more efficiently. Says Lisa"Mary was able to help me set up and automate a part of my business that I was doing manually. Thanks to Mary I’m now able to streamline work that used to take me hours and hours. Thanks Mary!" Cheryl Arlanson Russo, Arlanson Law Offices, www.arlansonplan.com, sends her high praise to Terry Anderson, Mayflower CleanPro for the great work they did cleaning the rug in her office. Says Cheryl,"I've been asked by those who've seen it since if I've gotten new carpeting! They also managed to get the white sofa in my office clean, even though my dog sleeps and plays on it regularly while I'm working. Their service is so fabulous that I'm having them clean my home carpeting and furniture next month. I'd really like to see Terry recognized for the great service and even better product!" Now, that's a great endorsement! Linda Merrill |
