Rachel Gioannini opened Casa Serena Landscape Designs in July of 2005. She is a certified landscape designer. Prior to this career shift, she has been a production manager, stage manager, college professor, lighting designer, volunteer coordinator, administrative assistant, barista, drug courier (nothing illegal), and bike guide. She’s lived in 11 states and has a BFA in technical theatre and an MFA in stage management.

Rachel and her husband, Pat, will celebrate their 5 year anniversary on 10/5. They met on the Internet shortly after Rachel moved here in 2000. They have 2 dogs, 3 cats and a turtle.

Rachel’s company has tripled it’s revenue this year so far and she plans to double her income next year. She is the sole owner and employee of her company and plans to stay that way. Her goal is to be paying the mortgage on their retirement home by 2009, assuming they find the right place. They are looking in the Silver City, NM area.

Rachel’s avocation is cycling and she is on the Summit Velo Racing Team. Her life has changed dramatically since she moved to Tucson. Her key to success is to remind herself nearly daily to be grateful and enjoy life, because it is the life she asked for. Something you don’t know about Rachel is she is also a quilter. One of her burning desires is to hike the Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada.

BNI - THE FINAL FRONTIER.................. These are the voyages of the Northwest Chapter

Our Continuing Mission: To explore new business and networking strategies, To seek out new members wherever we may find them, and to Boldly go where no chapter has been before!


With apologies to Gene Roddenberry, The Star Trek mantra seems to be pretty appropriate for our chapter. Not only are we on the verge of becoming the largest BNI chapter in the world, we are also initiating a bold new Givers Gain Project.

What is this project? In a nutshell, we will pick one business from our chapter for this project every six months. During this six month period the business will receive all of the combined energies, expertise and creative ideas of their fellow members. We will all pitch in and help the recipient get to the next level by working together as individuals and as Power Teams. Your contribution to the project can be almost anything - reduced rate services from YOUR business, donated time and/or materials, or just some old fashioned elbow grease.

The first project target is The Sonoran Bed and Breakfast owned by Mary and Michael Gibson. James Craig, our business advisor, has donated his services to help the Gibsons target areas for growth and will be coordinating our chapter members to see the project to completion. Larry Stinson will be documenting the project in his new magazine, 520 , by writing a three part series of articles. Every business in the chapter is eligible to be a recipient of the Givers Gain Project provided they have participated in prior projects.

We will be meeting at the Sonoran Bed and Breakfast for a planning session on Friday, September 21 at 6pm. Mary and Michael will be serving a BBQ for our enjoyment and based on the reports I have been hearing, this will be a meal to remember. This project is a tremendous opportunity for us as a chapter to work together and also to set a new standard for other chapters. Nothing like this has been done in BNI before so I'm sure we will be the focus of some international attention.

You don't want to miss this truly innovative gathering. Please RSVP to me so the Gibsons can plan their meal accordingly.

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
Susan Fulton

Marjorie Waterbrook of Clear Content Editorial Services will be one of our speakers this week

Margie Waterbrook English teacher and owner of Clear Content Editorial Services: Where You're Sure to Get Your Words' Worth!
6001 E. Pima, #81 Tucson 85712

Only in business since March!

What does a copy editor do, anyway?!
Since a lot of people seem kind of mystified about about this question, I want to use the blog and my five-minute presentation to get start demystifying things . We all now how fast 5 minutes goes, so I want to get a head start here in the blog. Here we go:

It is my job as copy editor to oversee every piece of writing that goes out of your office .

What kind of writing would this be?

Anything leaving your office containing the written word: letters, brochures, announcements, presentations, reports…important school papers or even dissertations…books…magazine or journal articles…grants… If you use written English, you need a copy editor!

The oversight I give to every piece of writing going out of your office makes sure that each piece has 3 crucial qualities:

It is CLEAR : there is no doubt in any one's mind about what you are trying to communicate to your clients.

It is CORRECT : there are no mistakes in spelling, grammar, punctuation, typos.paragraphs and are not buried where your message is hidden or minimized.

It is POWERFUL: your most important message comes through loud and clear and is not hushed up or minimized by placement in the weakest point of a sentence, paragraph, or entire set of paragraphs.
If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether or not something as "trivial" as punctuation really makes a difference, try figuring out the various meanings of the following sentences, taken from Lynne Truss' bestseller, Eats, Shoots and Leaves:
1. Leonara walked on her head, a little higher than usual.
2. The driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it sank and swam to the river bank.
3. The convict said the judge is mad.

Previous jobs: Mostly teaching English…6th grade through adults; city, town, and country; tiny rural colleges to sprawling universities.
Family: Divorced -2 children--Anna, 31, an M.D. in the Emergency Department of UMC and the first person to hold their Sports Medicine Fellowship; and Michael, 27, UA graduate in business,but not cut out for business--currently in Chicago and keeping a roof over his head while he decides what he wants to be when he grows up.

Animals-2 1/2 year old cat named Butterscotch; much loved; adorable; and definitely queen of the realm since she ran off a second cat I attempted to adopt.

Hobbies and Activities: Reading (especially Anne Tyler); movies (especially musicals like "Hairspray"); reality TV ("The Apprentice"); expensive restaurants. (When I get the urge to exercise, I lie down until it goes away)

City of Residence: Tucson, for almost 20 years…that makes me a native, right?
My burning desire: to be rescued by a knight in shining armor and live happily eve after…oh wait: that is sooo 1950's. Let's get back to the future--to be known as the best copy editor in the Tucson area.

Something no one knows about me: I was painfully shy as a child…all my teachers wrote on my report cards that I should speak up in class more…but you can see what happened: now I am making up for lost time!

My key to success…remains to be found! But I do think it resides somewhere in James Craig's tag line (a little free advertising for you, James!): you have to dream, plan, and act before you can succeed. I have lots of work to do on the planning and acting parts!


GIFT BAGS: Don’t forget to BRING YOUR GOODIES for the gift bags. We are giving them out to visitors. Last week we had 10 guest! These bags will have all of the stuff you donate plus your business cards. Please make sure you bring lots of business cards to keep your slot filled up. If no cards, no free advertising… Business cards are your cheapest form of advertising. We should be getting our new bags soon. WE NEED MORE GOODIES TO HAND OUT....PLEASE REPLENISH GOODIES. THANK YOU.


Mary Gibson expressing herself about being the first recipient of the Givers Gain Project
President Michelle Martin of Martin Insurance Consultants announced to the group her Givers Gain Project - purpose - to give back to our community or "Pay It Forward:" - rather than selecting a nonprofit organization, our Givers Gain project allows each chapter member as individuals, as well as Power Teams, to focus their creative ideas, expertise, combined energies and efforts on one specific business of our chapter every six months. With all of us pitching in to help a member business succeed or get to the next level, we will grow as individuals, our relationships as a business sales force will become stronger, and our Power Teams and CHAPTER will achieve success. Our business advisor is donating his time to help coordinate our 60+ volunteers and reduced rate member professionals to see this project through. And every business in the chapter is eligible to be a recipient of the focused six month Givers Gain project provided they have participated in the prior projects. Nothing of this magnitude has ever been attempted before.

Monthly Mixer...second Friday of the month...September 14. We will be back at the Fox and Hound this Friday at 6pm-??? We are going to try something a little bit different this month - "Speed Dancing". We will set aside a half hour when we will each sit down for 10 minutes with three different partners and do a one-on-one dance card. So we will each count three dance cards for the mixer, rather than counting one for everyone that attended. Sounds like fun and a good way to have a slightly more in depth visit with three people that we may not know as well as we could. See you at the Fox & Hound Friday. There will be a charge of $5 that will be added to your monthly breakfast due bill.

NW Chapter Homework - This is it! We will be having our contest on Memory Hooks!! On Sept. 13th There Will Be a Contest!
