NAPW Boulder Local Chapter Met to Act on Their Formal Agenda and to Arrange Social Activities for the Members


Garden City, NY (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

NAPW Boulder Local Chapter held two professional networking meetings to discuss upcoming plans for the chapter, schedule formal meetings, and arrange for social events.

At the December meeting, Chapter President Erin Bush expressed an interest in having a secretary to take meeting minutes and help with some of the responsibilities. Whitney Carlson offered to take on this position. Erin approved this position for Whitney.

Erin discussed her business and the changes it is going through. She handed out her new business card and explained that the website is up and running. Then Whitney discussed the changes in her business location but the excitement of growth potential in the future.

Erin and Whitney then discussed their goals for the chapter. They included creating partnerships and networking with other professional women. Whitney decided to send out an email to all of the Boulder chapter members to give them a small survey. This would have the goal of finding out more about what the women of the chapter want to get out of this membership and who was willing to help out. Erin said that Paige had found a speaker who wanted to talk about networking for the initial meeting, but due to scheduling conflicts could not attend. Whitney offered to email Paige to see if that speaker could come to the January 12th meeting.

Other topics of discussion included sales, promotions, and leadership. Erin expressed an interest in having a drawing each month for a door prize and having ice breaker games to get everyone involved in each meeting.

In the October meeting, Paige had expressed an interest in having small unofficial NAPW gathering throughout the month. Erin requested that if any of the members plan a social event to email her the details so she could post it on the chapter page. This will help the information get to all of the members. Social ideas included coffee, brunch, dinners, and hiking.

In January, Erin recapped last months discussions with Kristy and asked if she had any ideas on how to grow the chapter. Kristy suggested the Chapters leaders resend the announcement of the new chapter to as many members as possible. Erin is going to get an updated list from NAPW to resend the announcement.

It was requested that each member go through the NAPW site and personally invite other members to join the group in February. We value the one-on-one connections we can make with members in our areas, said Erin.

Topics discussed for future meetings included the implementation of a book club, volunteer opportunities, and charity events. For the February meeting, Erin is going to send out personalized invitations to NAPW members. Kristy volunteered to design the invitation. Erin is going to send her the logo and get stamps. A speaker was discussed and narrowed down to an accountant to discuss tax write-offs and another NAPW member, Carmen Bell, to discuss identity theft. All of us are going to look through the NAPW site and reach out to our personal contacts to find speakers on this topic, said Erin.

The door prize was drawn and Kristy won a $ 10 gift certificate to Bean & Berrys. The chapter took a group picture with the banner and scheduled the next meeting for February 9th from 5:30-7pm at Bean and Berrys.

The National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) is the largest and most recognized network of female professionals. NAPW provides a forum where women can interact, exchange ideas, educate, network, and empower. NAPW Local Chapters allow members to maximize their experience through meetings, networking opportunities, and professional events.

Extraordinary New Book Rewrites Adolf Hitlers Childhood

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 17, 2012

Frank Daversa, author and writer, recently published his new book Young Adolf: An Alternate History with AuthorHouse. It revisits Hitler’s childhood as an exercise in developmental psychology: can an early romance overcome the domestic challenges of young Adolf’s life? The story, written by Frank and Joseph Franciosa Jr., starts with Hitlers birth, and proceeds through his adolescence. It depicts his childhood in striking detail. You will observe his ordeals, from the rigors of his schooling to beatings by his father Alois. Factual accounts are interspersed with fictional inventions, such as his relationship with a hypothetical girl named Helga. Can young Adolf conquer the personal barriers his difficult childhood presented and become close with her emotionally? How will that change him?

Learn more about Adolf the boy. Experience the molding of his dreams, his prejudices, and his desires in visceral detail. Come to understand the inner-workings of history’s most infamous megalomaniac through the perspective of a childs eyes. Follow Adolf during his younger years. Know the boy before he was the world’s most feared man. Witness his courtship with good-natured Helga. Decide whether her influence might have altered the course of history.

Frank is based in Houston, TX. It all began there back in early 2008, when he was thinking of how Adolf Hitler must have had a difficult childhood for him to turn out the way he did. He had no girlfriends during that time to speak of. Then it occurred to Frank, what would happen if someone intervened, someone to show young Hitler true love? Would this be enough to change him for the better as an adult? That is how Young Adolf was born.

It took over three years to write, and four months to publish. The writing was done exclusively via email between Frank and Joe, who is based in East Walpole, Massachusetts. The two developed a close working relationship along the way despite never meeting face to face. Sales went live on December 20, and the dedicated website was completed December 27.

For more information, please contact Frank Daversa or Joseph Franciosa, Jr. by visiting http://www.YoungAdolf.com or call 281-345-7995. To purchase the book, please visit our bookstore.

About the Authors:

Frank P. Daversa was raised in South Hempstead, NY. It was during college that he honed his writing skills. Shortly after receiving his B.S. degree with a 3.96 GPA, Frank moved to Houston, TX. He worked 14 years in the corporate world before becoming a writer in 2007. Frank had his first web article published in 2008. Later that year, he began collaborating on his new novel, Young Adolf: An Alternate History. He has always had a passion for psychology, which is at the heart of the story behind Young Adolf. In 2011, his creative vision became a reality with the publishing of his book. Frank looks forward to publishing two non-fiction books in the time that follows, one about politics and the other about spirituality.

A lifetime resident of New England, Joseph V. Franciosa, Jr. has been writing professionally since obtaining his B.A. in English, with a focus in creative writing, from Suffolk University in 2008. Joseph has published over fifty web articles for sites such as eHow.com and LiveStrong.com. His primary focus, however, has been the collaborative effort that produced “Young Adolf.” Writing has always been chief among Joseph’s many passions. At Suffolk University, Joseph was the co-founder and President of Suffolk’s student writing club, “Sub-Text”. He also served on the University’s Literary Art’s yearly publication “Venture” as an Associate Editor and a Contributing Editor. Joseph has tried to live by the words of Benjamin Franklin: “Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing about.” Like Franklin, Joseph tries to do both.
