Who May Find This Useful

Yep, I was talking about Julie Weis. She had the flu and she was still fabulous!
 
Julie would be great to see again, but she did quite a few of our regional meetings it sounds like, so I don't know if she'll be the speaker. Or maybe that's WHY she was the speaker at so many regionals!

Thanks. I couldn't remember which wave specifically.
 
I only know b/c a cluster-mate is part of the Hispanic market. We were talking at our meeting Monday about promoting, which we both want to do in time to walk at conference. I asked her when her wave was so we could walk together and we're both wave 3. WOoooHOOOooooo!

Unfortunately, In the time I've been w/ PC, they have never had the same Guest Speaker 2 times in a row.....and Belinda was there last year.:( With all of the buzz I've been hearing about Julie Weis, I've been wondering if she will be the Guest Speaker this year?

I could probably listen to Belinda every day. LOL
