It's mid-February, and oops...I'm off the "wagon"

By:  Erika Erlenbach, President

I hope everyone is staying warm out there!  We had a great Executive Exchange last Wednesday.  Thanks to all who were there and participated.  I love this new format for half of our meetings and hope you all are too!

So I've found myself falling back into old habits lately...I guess I fit in to the standard mold.  You set new resolutions on January 1 and by mid-February...oops, you're off the wagon, back to doing the same things.  It's frustrating!  Complaining about it and beating ourselves up doesn't help, so I'm reestablishing the resolutions I set for myself...and this time, will hopefully stick to.  While there are a number of resolutions I've fallen off the wagon with (no, I will NOT eat that carrot cake...um, yes, I'll just have a bite...or, maybe a little more) one that I am determined to renew and stick to, is getting out of my box and trying new things. 

EWLKN is looking to stick to some resolutions as well and one that the membership asked for was more involvement and opportunities to get to know each other better.  The board has been exploring ideas of ways to become more involved in the community and holding more social “meet up” events.  We will soon be sharing some ways you can be more involved as a member through some charitable outreach, fun social/active events, marketing events and more.  We would love to hear from you with your suggestions to help us stick to it!
