I was unable to go to my cluster's Fall kick-off, or my Hospitality's, so I made the drive to my FORMER Hospitality Director (Marie Friedag's) Fall Kick-off last night. INCREDIBLE!!!!! 20 directors came together, from Nancy Jo Ryan on down ( Nancy Jo, Marie Friedag, Patti Mericreno, ) what a great time- Lots of info and motivation !!!!! We even had a 2nd episode of the Helen B-Generous show. I saw Deb Jennings there, but she was too busy working her butt off in the kitchen to chat.

Kristi, I have been so blessed. before moving, I lived in Lombard, IL- 2 miles from Home office, and Marie was my hospitality director (she is an Executive) and I went to new consultants training that the directors did all together (Patti, Marie, etc) Such a wealth of experience in a 20 mile radius. Since I moved, My hospitality (self-assigned-LOL) is Janice Wisnieski and Sherri Carr. Janice and I are great friends, and Sherri is our Executive Director. My Director is Robin Deluca, In Indy, and I am going there in October for a director's meeting. They invited me, even though I am only a future, because I have plans to promote soon. I am sure I still would have been successful if I lived in a different part of the country, but it would have been much more difficult, and not nearly as much fun !!!!
