Join us for a Powerful opportunity to learn, grow and network too!

Hello all of you outrageously amazing, Powerful Women,

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/d/0/e/event_101744302.jpegLast month's lunch n learn was Fantastic thanks to all of you who attended and to Hollis Kendall with Southern Safety Services, Inc. who shared some awesome strategies for self defense. Very important at all times but especially as we enter the 4th quarter when we are all so busy with the holidays that we can easily become distracted and not always aware of our surroundings.

Don't miss the October 11th Power Hour!

Speaking of fourth quarter. There are still a lot of things you can do to save yourself money and keep from paying in more taxes than you need to. Snowe Saxman will share some reallyimportant tax strategies you need to know and do now in order to make changes that will make a difference for you this tax year.

For years Snowe has also helped people start their own businesses by helping with the legal http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/2/c/0/event_292632992.jpegand tax requirements for incorporating Profit Organizations, Sole Proprietors, LLC’s and Non for Profit Organizations. She specializes in Small Business/Self Employed/Direct Sales businesses development, management and tax planning!

Snowe is originally from VA BCH, VA and moved to FL after graduating from Averett University with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting. She worked as an Accountant at Disney and met her husband Paul.

She began helping people with start ups and taxes because she was growing tired of seeing
friends and family being charged too much money for these services. Her mission with Snowe Saxman LLC is to provide EXCELLENT Accounting, Tax & Business Development/Management services at affordable prices!!

We will also do our “marketing moments” - a 45 second introduction. This month we will add an additional twist to the introductions...since the second week of October is "Pet Peeve Week" - let's share our biggest pet peeve - should be lots of FUN and help us get to know each other a little more besides just what we do for work - at least we will learn what not to do to upset one another :-).

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/3/a/8/event_233685992.jpegAnd just as important, we will dedicate time to networking - getting to know each other better so please arrive by 11:30 as we have a jam packed agenda.

We will spend the 1st 15 minutes networking, followed by introductions with a twist, then learning from Hollis, followed by referrals - "I know someone who is in need of..." (please think of someone you know that is in the market to buy something or is in need of a specific service and come prepared to share), upcoming events/special announcements (we will limit this to special events or fundraisers, no more than 60 seconds please & only 1 per person) and finally more networking. All of this and promise to have you out and on your way by 1:30 p.m. (or close to it :-))

Oh and did I mention DOOR PRIZES?? As always, we will have spectacular door prizes!
