WOD at Maderas Golf Club

We had a great turnout at our Tuesday, September 23rd Weddings of Distinction meeting at Maderas Golf Club.

Our guests were Reverend Don Toshach, Shelisa Burke from The Platinum Wedding Show, Sue Silva from Mosaic Catering and our hostess, Susan Khania, Meetings & Special Events Director for Maderas. Susan introduced us to her Assistant, Patrick, and gave us pamphlets and information about the Country Club. At the end of our meeting, we took a tour of this wonderful wedding and party venue.

Our showcaser was our webmaster, Gary Avant from Wisdom Matrix. With a fun handout, he explained the workings and success of our web site and how to benefit from the listings. His emphasis was on linking your individual site to the Weddings of Distinction web site. Linking will increase your business, it’s that simple!!! We will be increasing our etiquette articles to help draw more clients to our web site.

Board Reports: Susan announced our Holiday Party will take place at the newly renovated Continental Catering. Date to be announced soon!

Secretary, Joy, reported that all is well! Anthony, our Vice President, is looking forward to our October meeting at La Jolla Cove Suites. Membership Chairlady, Merrylin, proudly presented WoD membership books to our newest members, Cruz Zahran from Mosaic Catering and Lance & Cheryl Haynes from Haynes Antique Car Chauffeuring. Shannon, our marketing queen, discussed our upcoming fourth quarter web site update (due by October 5th) and has added us to LinkedIn & Facebook.

Happy Birthday to our Happy Libras, Merrylin and Shannon!
