Women’s AM is an organization offering women in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area a forum to meet and a chance to build a base for mutual support and motivation, both personally and professionally. We host annual events as well, our most recent being the Rockin’ The Rays Summer Social held in July. Check out this amazing video created for us by Christina Waschko of Motherpreneur Video Productions which captures the spirit and passion of our group quite wonderfully. Enjoy and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming meetings!
We enjoyed getting “shady” at our “Rockin’ the Rays Summer Social”. Many thanks to our fabulous hosts Lori, Greg and Brandy at Kingfishers Waterfront Bar & Grill, who went over the top to welcome and entertain our group, to all the lovely ladies who joined us, and to our Executive Committee for their efforts – all of which made for a FUNtastic event! Special thanks to all the generous door prize donations (names to be listed in the newspaper and in our next newsletter).

The future has arrived and Video is here to stay, In her vibrant and energetic way, Christina Waschko, shared helpful tips and tools for creating videos using our smart phones so we can all “Shine OnLine”! This was not your typical presentation where, as a matter of housekeeping, attendees are asked to turn off or mute their phones – no, instead we were encouraged to bring them out and hold them high, selfies a must. Movement, angles and creativity are important, and Christina offered the following content suggestions to achieve the best attraction to our online videos:
include latest trends
explain industry terms
share “how-to” instructions
show behind the scenes
propose a challenge
offer an invitation / testimonial
share a struggle or obstacle
