Everybody welcome Mike! Mike Calabrese is a painter and our newest member.  It's great to see our group vigorously growing and we look forward to surpassing that all important 30 member milestone (we're currently @ 28).  

Needles and Points. Allen Stovall's (5Element.org) show boat featured a teaching tool he uses when teaching new acupuncture students.  It was a  model of a human with all of the meridians and pressure points drawn on it.  It makes me and Llewellyn wonder if he sees everybody with these points and lines drawn over them.  We're glad that he uses his powers for good.

Loosen Up.  Mike Deibler helped work out the morning stiffness and get our meeting going with some neck, hip, and knee rolls.  I know it seems almost too easy coming from our personal trainer.  Go to his Tuesday Bootcamp's @ Balboa Park for the industrial strength workout.

We would also like to thank our guest, Ryan Clardy from Canopy HR, a payroll company, for making it out to his second meeting.  Ryan mentioned that he had been to many different networking groups, and is excited about the energy at our chapter.  We'd like thank Ryan for his kind words and all of you for making our group great!  

Butt what about sunblock? Karen Gibson (Mindful Skincare) prepared us all for summer by scaring us with pictures of what happens when you don't protect yourself from the sun.  She reminded us that the skin on your faces could be as smooth and soft as the skin on your butt, if, like your butt, it hadn't been ravished by the sun all of your life.  Butt, if you ignore Karen and get sunburned anyways, Karen can also help you in October with a peel to help repair the damage done over the summer.  

Agile Techniques @ Home. Llewellyn Falco our Agile Programming Coach, gave a stirring trimmed down version of his presentation on cleaning up messy situations. It was interesting to see how the same techniques that he teaches to his clients can apply to our everyday lives. The path Llewellyn suggest you follow is :

• Take many small steps
• With each step, leave things better than you found them
• Maintain constant Vigilance

To find out more, come to one of his 3 Talks this weekend at Code Camp.

Rich & Debbie were the big winners of todays Raffle. Many thanks to Karen Gibson & Sue Crowder for donating the wonderful prizes!

Next Week's Calendar

 Have a great 4th of July! See you in 2 weeks.

Rich & Llewellyn

ps - Jasmine Guerrero  - One of the great things of having a group like LeTip is the way it can support you in times of need.  To those ends, Jasmine shared with us today that she needs 21 clients before her 2 year anniversary on July 19 or she will lose her job.  For Jasmine to continue her role as our Insurance agent, each member only needs to find 1 person who would be willing to allow Jasmine to give them a comparative quote.  We ask you to find that one person this week.  Her phone number is (619) 296-3276 x111.

This is a good reminder to build your network before you need it.  The reason we're rallying for Jasmine is because of the accumulation of the last 2 years that we have known and built up our businesses with her.  This would be a far different story if we had met her last week.
