Shout Out To The San Francisco Bay Area NAPO Chapter

This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending the San Francisco Bay Area NAPO Chapter Holiday meeting. I can see why people love working in this profession, and attending these events.
I was surrounded by the most amazing women (and men) who were strong, successful and uplifting. I have never felt so at home. Everyone was welcoming, approachable and kind. I left there ready and focused, feeling assured that I had found my place in life. Here was little old me, sitting at a round table with veterans Sandy Stelter, Annie Rohrbach, ANGELA WALLACE ... excuse me if I left anyone out, I was on cloud nine at the time.

To sum it up - our chapter rocks! 

Local Shout Outs To:
Rhonda Elliot who also is an organizer in Pleasanton has so graciously has taken me in, offered carpooling, amazing advice, and support.

Elizabeth Treccase out of Danville has so graciously invited me to the local East Bay breakfast, where I met local women that are determined and strong.

3 Tips On Organizing Puzzles, Books DVD's and CD's

Do you have a large collection of jigsaw puzzles,books, DVD’s, or CD's? Below are 3 tips to help you keep these collections organized.

1. Set a limit (say one-quarter), choose your favorites, and donate or sell the rest. Your storage space will be limited so keep asking yourself - “Is there room for this?”.
2. Make sure you have storage for and display space for items you are keeping. Small, narrow display shelves that hang on the wall are a good option for family photos and small collectibles that may now be on a fireplace mantel. 
3. For mementos and old family photos consider specially designed under-the-bed storage boxes to hold items you rarely use.
