BNI Visitors Day
Apr 22 @ 11:30 – 13:00

The BNI* Garnet Valley Chapter is pleased to announce that their Chapter will be hosting a special Visitors Day Networking Meeting at the Concordville Inn at 780 Baltimore Pike in Concordville PA, on Tuesday, April 22nd at 11:30am.

“This special meeting is geared toward helping local business people gain insight on how BNI works,” says prominent local businessperson Linda Holobovich, of New You Nutrition. How to build a successful referral based business through a structured word-of-mouth marketing program will be the focus of this meeting.

David Kauffman will be joining us to share his insight on building a successful referral based business through a structured “word of mouth” marketing program.

BNI is the world’s largest and most successful business and professional referral organization. They were founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan R. Misner, and currently have over 5,000 chapters throughout the United States, and numerous countries internationally.

What makes BNI unique is full time word-of-mouth marketing professionals run each region, and they operate on the “Givers Gain” philosophy. "What goes-around comes-around"! If I help you, and you help me, we will all do far more business together as a result of that cooperation.

BNI chapters follow a proven meeting agenda that keep the meetings focused on their primary purpose of generating new business. They have sound policies, proven procedures, and a strong Code of Ethics. Also, they allow only one person per profession to join a chapter. Thus, once you have been accepted, none of your competitors can participate.

BNI chapters in the Delaware Valley Region generate several million dollars in new business referrals for their members each year. They also enjoy the added benefit of repeat business and spin-off business from these referrals.

“Networking contributes exponentially to the business referrals that any business receives. A good Networker can get most of their business, their best business, or both through referrals,” says Holobovich. “We are a "Givers Gain" Organization. We believe that by helping each other we will all do far more business together as a result of that mutual cooperation. Our goal is to build upon this type of referral business in the BNI Garnet Valley Chapter area.”

For information about getting involved, or to get directions to this event please visit the "Calendar of Events" section of " http://www.BNIDVR.Com" or call Linda Holobovich at 610-350-8063.

Hadley Fund Lecture “Terra Firma?”
Apr 22 @ 20:00 – 21:00

 

The Hadley Memorial Fund is pleased to present a free lecture by Dr. Gale Blackmer, Tuesday, April 22, 8 p.m., at the Kennett High School, South Union and South Streets, l00 East South Street,  Kennett Square, PA  19348. She is speaking on  "Terra Firma? Living on the Edge in Southeastern Pennsylvania."  We will learn the fascinating geologic history of southeastern Pennsylvania.

Dr. Blackmer has been picking up rocks since her childhood in Wilmington and Hockessin, Delaware. She received a B.A. in geology from the University of Pennsylvania, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geology from The Pennsylvania State University. At various points in her career, she has worked for a geotechnical drilling contractor, a small environmental firm in Philadelphia, and a hydrogeological firm in State College. She has served on the faculty at West Chester University, Bloomsburg University, and Dickinson College.

She started at the Pennsylvania Geological Survey in 1999, with the primary task of geologic mapping in the Piedmont of southeastern Pennsylvania. She has mapped all or part of seven topographic quadrangles in Chester and Lancaster Counties, including Kennett Square. She has been Manager of the Geologic Mapping Division at the PA Survey since the end of 2010. This evening, Dr. Blackmer will take you on a journey through the fascinating geologic history of southeastern Pennsylvania, and discuss some of the practical implications of living here on the long-exposed roots of an ancient mountain belt.

All Hadley programs are free and open to the public.  For more information please contact: www.Hadleyfund.org, or 610-444-1855.

StaC Peterson of StormFlight Designs creates handcrafted jewelry utilizing traditional silversmithing techniques and tools.  Her designs are classic with an upbeat feel and incorporate genuine gemstones, lampwork glass, and leather. Peterson describes the exploration and process of her favorite mediums; fine metals and gemstones:

[S]ince taking classes at a cozy little art school in the hills of Georgia, I have been perfecting my skills in stone cutting, chain making and metal-smithing, and have found the metals I love working with; primarily silver and copper. I started with classes on gemstone facetting and silver-smithing.  Now I go every summer and add to my skills: enameling, casting, chasing & repousse’, etc. …you will see these skills reflected in my work.

Peterson’s skills create a diverse tapestry of texture, line, and form. The joy the artist has for her craft is apparent when admiring StormFlight Designs handcrafted jewelry.

Mustang Day – To Be Rescheduled
May 3 @ 09:00 – 14:00

Due to weather Mustang Day will be postponed this weekend.  Aircraft is based at a grass strip in NY and conditions are causing the field to be too wet.  I will let you know once the date gets rescheduled.  Talk soon,

The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Possessing excellent range and maneuverability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII, and later fought in the Korean War. On May 3rd Sponsored by the OLD EAGLES and celebrated by the EAA Chapter 240 we will have one of these magnificent flying machines on our ramp. Come out and visit with us at New Garden Flying Field to see this Historical National Artifact.  Open to the public. 9am-2pm (NO ADDMISSION FEE)

On display from March 1 through January 4, 2015, the exhibition will feature costumes from both the up and down stairs worlds of Downton Abbey, including Lady Sybil's  famous harem pants, Lady Mary's engagement dress, and Lady Edith's wedding dress. Costumes of Downton Abbey is the largest of its kind in the United States and provides a rare glimpse into this fictional world for fans of the program.

It is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed period dramas ever produced earning a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries and seven Emmys including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries. Guinness World Records recognized Downton Abbey as the most critically acclaimed English-language television series of 2011.  By its third series, Downton Abbey became one of the most widely watched television shows in the world.
