Today we had two great guests join us, William Holzhauer & Tammy Rimes, proprietors of Hacienda de las Rosas winery in Old Town. We were excited to have our first visit from a winery  - We think this adds an extra touch of class and sophistication to our chapter.  

We are also grateful to have Tina Pavez, a Life Coach, join us as well.  

Between our two guests, one way or another you should become a happier person. 

Whither while you work...

Mike Deibler, our personal trainer, showed us all the different things that happen to our bodies if/when we sit at a desk 8 hours a day.  (Yikes!).  He then used the intrepid Chris Wilson to show us simple exercises and stretches we can do to compensate and restore our bodies.  We also learned that Mike just missed out on competing in the Olympics by a mere two centimeters.  Mike offers a lot of interesting and educational videos and blog posts on his website - we encourage you to check it out. 

Does Renting Make Cents?

Jamelin Johnson, our loan officer, took us through an interesting case scenario with several properties she had found the night before on Craig's List.  One of the condos she found was being rented for $1800 per month.  A comparable condo, in the same complex, that was on the market.  After running the numbers, she calculated that the monthly payment for purchasing the same condo would be $1840 per month, including the HOA fees.  That's a $40 difference between renting and owning.  For less than the price of a dinner out on the town, you could be owning your own home.

The Doctor is 'IN'

John McConnell was welcomed into our growing chapter today, receiving the one of the highly sought-after benefits of membership, the blue-velvet LeTip business card holder.  John is an accomplished and experienced psychologist and we all look forward to getting to know him.

Also, this meeting was Tina's second visit, and she submitted an application to be our chapter's Success Coach! We look forward to voting on her next week.

More than a handshake

Today Mike got our blood flowing using one of the techniques in his group workouts - pairing.  Partnering with the person next to us, we joined palms and played a little game of standing arm wrestling.  It's amazing how powerful it can be working with a partner, to boost the energy level of our meeting.

33 Tips

We had a strong number of tips passed around today, 33 Tips with 1 escrow for wine tasting.  I imagine if our meeting were in the evening, there would be a lot more escrow tips...

Drinks are on us! 

Barbara raffled off some great prizes from William & Tammy (I'm sure Karen will be enjoying her wine tasting!), Paul, Tina, and Sue.  Thanks to everybody who participated - the money helps keep the group growing with great guests and fantastic new members.

Also, don't for get to visit Hacienda de las Rosas Winery in Old Town on Cinco de Mayo!

We missed you!

There were quite a few members that couldn't make it to today's meeting.  :(  We hope you're all well and look forward to seeing you next week.

Don't forget!

Next week, there is no LeTip LeMonday LeMeeting at Llewellyn's - our board of directors will be at a training seminar by LeTip International. 

Deep Thought for the week:

Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire.

Have a WINNING Week!
Rich & Llewellyn
