Sue Zepeda of We Organize it!
She spoke last week along with Mike Benzenhoefer
Pat Tavis won Sue's door prize
Sue Zepeda has been a resident of Tucson since August 1998 and opened her company, We Organize it! four years ago this January.
She has been in the process of expanding her business and organizing services, and is pleased to announce that she now has a new business name: Within Reach Organizing Solutions.
Along with her new business partner, Cathie Parks, Sue also offers unpacking and home set-up services, Senior Move Management, downsizing and estate services and complete home organization for the totally overwhelmed.
Sue spent five years as a single mother after her first husband left, raising her son Brandon, now 24, before marrying her current love in 1988. They have been married 19 years and have three children together: Philip, Linnea and Jeremiah: 16, 15 and 12, respectively.
Sue’s family enjoys the company of their two Lab mixes, Fresca and Tisne; however, Sue mostly doesn’t enjoy the company of their four birds: two parakeets, a cockatoo named Lucy and an Indian Ringneck named Sunny.
Sue loves dancing and playing ping pong - and she can still give the best a good run for their money!
Something nobody knows about Sue is that she home schooled her children for five years, from kindergarten through eighth grade.
Sue’s key to success is loving God and doing her best to always serve others and helping them to achieve their own success.

Larry Stinson of DollarWorks LLC is this weeks speakerLarry Stinson has been in business for 2 years as a publisher. He moved his wife Lori and three children to Oro Valley 10 years ago. His children are Bryan 24, Jason 21 and Erin 14. They have a black lab named Brandy along with George & Buddy their cats.
Larry loves to go camping and traveling. His burning desire is to become a well known regional Publisher.
Something no one here knows about him is he is one of seven kids and all of their names rhyme ... Carrie, Larry, Sheri, Geri, Teri, Meri, and Gary. (I can just hear his mom getting tongue tied on those names when she would get mad)
8 keys to success: Passion, Ability to accept a risk, High self-esteem, Persistence, Being nice to work with, Who you know, Master your craft, and Talent.
Susan Fulton of Desert Penguin Custom Framing is our other speaker this week
Susan Fulton has owned and operated Desert Penguin Custom Framing (with her business partner, Bunkii Trowbridge) for the past four years. The business started in a small garage space in Catalina, but soon moved down the street to a retail location.
Custom Framing was a new venture for Susan, who spent many years in the food service industry as well as the accounting/tax field. After spending 12 years on a thirty foot sailboat in the Sea of Cortez, Susan and her husband (yes, they stayed married through that experience!) relocated to Tucson on a whim. Susan tends to be a person given to extremes so the change from ocean to desert was not out of character. Upon looking for a new occupation, she found the framing business to be an opportunity to discover the creative side of her personality which had been dormant for 50 years.
Susan now enjoys hiking, bowling, reading, cooking and eating, and watching football. This year she has begun playing Fantasy Football for the first time. Contrary to what you might think, it is a complicated and challenging pastime. She still finds time to indulge her passion for researching historical polar exploration and has been on a three week trip to Antarctica. Her burning desire is to return to Antarctica, as well as visit the Arctic region. (Marjorie, there is something wrong with that sentence!)
Susan and her husband, Bill, have two cats named Spinky and Edith. Something no one knows about her is that she was once a champion Jacks player.

ODE TO 30-SECOND COMMERCIALS
30 seconds…what to do?
Barely time for a word or two!

When your writing has to be right,
Margie’s Clear Content is outta sight!
Margie Waterbrook Clear Content Editorial Services
Where you’re sure to get your words’ worth!

Monthly Mixer...second Friday of the month...October 12. 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.
