Happy New Year?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it's been a long while-but I'm still here! Thanks for always asking about WTTB and sharing what an impact it had in the community. I know its been a while. I have no excuse, but just distracted and focused on other things. WTTB has always held a special place in my heart.<br />
<br />
I haven't stopped networking. On every 4th Friday, you can catch me at the Pensacola Network, hosted by Lloyd and Robin Reshard. It is a wonderful opportunity to network with community leaders, business people and just catch up with friends (over some great food :)! There is one tomorrow from 5-8 down on the Devilliers block across from Five Sisters, The Gathering and Blue Dot. Stop by to say hello and do some wonderful networking!

October is a special month. It happens to be the 8th year anniversary of WTTB and breast cancer awareness month! Thanks to all the ladies (some men too) who still ask about WTTB. I planned to have an 8th year "meet-up" this month. However, I waited to late to get the location I wanted. I may have a holiday WTTB meet-up in December. <br />
I do have a registered <strong>Women Telling Their Business Team</strong> for the <strong>Making Strides Against Breast Cancer</strong> walk on<strong> October 25th.</strong> Go to the American Cancer Society MSABC site and sign up and join the team for such a great cause. See you at the walk...I hope! It's so many supporters, that it can be hard to locate people. Have Fun Striding!Gloria Clayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01511071843361507376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376924490359898540.post-73736926692530580192014-06-25T16:20:00.000-05:002014-06-25T16:20:59.082-05:00HELLO FRIENDS! Ok, according to my last blog entry it has been a year! Wow, where have I been? Well, I finished a two year term as President of AKA sorority, got my daughter married and taught my first job/career ministry class at church! Those are the major things along with doing normal "life" stuff! Many have asked where did WTTB go? Well, I kinda but things on hold until my plate got a little less full. I know I'm a women, but not every women! I appreciate ladies asking and still having an interest. Presently, I am formulating in my mind, if and when to begin again. Please stay posted and don't stop asking. I still have been connecting business owners with the knowledge and relationships I have made over the years. <br />
<br />
In the mean time, I have been attending<strong> Pensacola Network</strong>, hosted by Lloyd and Robin Reshard. What a wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with businesses, organizations and movers and shakers in Pensacola. The networking event is every fourth Friday of the month, from 5-8, at Devilliers Square, 321 North Devilliers Street. This Friday, one of my faithful supporters of WTTB will be the guest speaker. Nicole Dixon is the new Executive Director of the Gulf Coast African American Chamber. Come out and hear what plans the organization has for the community and meet and connect with wonderful people. See you there!Gloria Clayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01511071843361507376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376924490359898540.post-33517111016280098802013-06-14T12:25:00.000-05:002013-06-14T12:25:06.476-05:00Hi, Friends, we are just one week away from the official start of summer!

Well, I will be adding to the celebration, the life of my dear friend Raychelle Gaston, who tragically was killed in a car accident on this past Saturday. Raychelle was a long time friend and a big supporter of Women Telling Their Business. Over the last six years that I had a big anniversary celebration for WTTB, I called on Raychelle to be the mistress of ceremony. Even with her busy schedule, she always found the time to do this big favor for me. She added so much fun and excitement to every celebration that she hosted! Some of my monthly forums, Raychelle would pop in at the end and say "Girl, I told you I was going to make it"! Actually, this time last year she "popped" into my 50th birthday celebration at the end with her "Girl, I made it"!<br />
The life that my friend Raychelle lived was a blessing to behold. Even though I'm sad, along with many others, I feel blessed to have had her in my life! I know you are resting in PEACE dear sweet friend....Gloria Clayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01511071843361507376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376924490359898540.post-37475824493653655112013-05-01T16:59:00.004-05:002013-05-01T17:01:23.488-05:00Hi, Friends, welcome to the month of May! May is a great month for me, being that it is my birthday month, and mother's day! I plan to celebrate and enjoy the month of May! My WTTB friends have not been forgotten. WTTB stays on my mind. I wanted to do a special WTTB introducing all of the four greek letter sororities in the divine nine. Outfront magazine did a special edition that should be out real soon with our pictures. If I can get it organized, maybe in June, we can come together, catch up, and tell our business! Stay tuned and Happy May!

Needless to say, as usual, I have been busy, busy! Sometimes you have to know what to move around on your plate or take off! I might think I'm superwoman-but I'm not! Hope all is going well with all of you. I do still want to do a "special" WTTB in the next month or two. The problem is finding the time on my calendar to do it. I would love to catch up with everyone in business and out of business-just to say hi. Email me and let me know how you are doing. <br />
Believe it or not, I get calls for referrals often. So, if someone calls you for a good or service, it may have been me that gave them your information. Please stay posted and keep in touch and I hope to see you all soon!

As usual, for many of us, life continues to be busy, busy! I'm still planning on hosting a WTTB sometime in the next couple of months. I have a special idea working in my head right now for a WTTB.

As you can see by my last post, I got caught up(like everyone else) in the holiday season! As always, WTTB, still never goes totally out of my mind. People do still ask if I still do that "networking" thing. The answer is yes-when I find time and it all comes together! Right now, I have on the radar screen to host a WTTB in March, which is Women's History month. Therefore, at least mark the month and stay in touch for the date<br />
I do miss our WTTB networking and catching up with everyone! However, its only because I have been busy doing other "business"! Looking forward to seeing you in this new year! Remember to continue telling your business, until we meet again!

Its been a while, but believe me, I never stop thinking about WTTB. People ask me all the time about what's going on with the forums. Its great to know the forums are missed and had such an impact. I was planning on having a forum this month, however, the library changed their hours, which doesn't allow for the time needed to have the WTTB forum. My plan is to find another location in the new year.<br />
Enjoy your thankgiving and the holiday season! Stay posted to information about the WTTB forums in 2013. Continued blessings!

We had a successful "kick-off" fundraiser last Tuesday for the WTTB Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team! We had wonderful delectable desserts and door prizes too! The businesses that donated were Friends Catering, one of the owners is Brenda Spencer. We had Chunkie Chips, owned by Jalen Williams and Melinda Michaels who just loves to bake! Thanks to all of them! It was a success night for not alot of effort. It's not too late to sign up for our team. I am looking forward to it!<br />
Women Telling Their Business is still in motion. I am still constantly meeting women in business. I am glad that I made the decision to change the format this year. I might think "I'm every women, but I'm not"! We have a WTTB scheduled for November. Right now I'm trying to find a free location to have it at. The library made some changes again. They are closing early during most week nights and organizations can't be in the meeting room after they close. Let me know if you know of somewhere without any cost involved. Keep in touch and feel free to contact me to tell me your business!

I have been pretty busy this summer enjoying the summer months. Recently, I travelled to San Francisco for the first time, for a conference and had a wonderful time. I will admit it was a little hard to realize it was July-it was "chilly" there! <br />
Anyhow, WTTB is always on my mind. I hoping to schedule a forum in September focusing on "young entreprenuers". If you know any, please have them contact me. Also, in October will be the sixth year anniversary for WTTB-wow how time flys! I'm thinking about combining the anniversary celebration with a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness for the month. <br />
WTTB does have a team this year. The new team captain is Linda Smalls. I needed to share some of the responsibility with someone. Go to the American Cancer Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and sign up! I know it will be lots of fun for a great cause. Save your loose change and donate to our WTTB team. Check back soon for updates. Continue to enjoy the rest of the summer! Today I saw HALLOWEEN items at the store already! No not yet!!!! Enjoy!

I will blame it on being my birthday month and I was busy celebrating all month!. I'm happy to say that people are still asking about WTTB and what's going on.

I hope you are continuing to network to increase your business opportunities. A wonderful opportunity to get your business out is by attending <strong>The Pensacola</strong> <strong>Small Business Exchange conference on April 27th-28th at the University of West</strong> <strong>Florida.</strong> Check out addditional information in my just letting you know section on this page.<br />Believe me, I have been keeping busy. I do miss the monthly WTTB forums, however, I'm glad I changed the format this year to focus on some other things I am involved in. Right now, I'm looking at having the next forum in June. Back by popular demand, will be the young people in business. That was one of the forums, I've organized in the last five years, that I was most proud of. It gave the young entrepreneurs the opportunity to market their businesses. If you know a young people with a business, please let me know.<br />Continue to enjoy the wonderful spring weather and I hope to see you in June if not sooner!
