Noah's Ark Workshop National Convention!

Hello-
Well it's time to head off to Chicago again! This time there will be no snow! Yea! I'm actually hoping it's not too hot, though, as the heat here in Texas is quite bad this summer. I could use a nice 85 degree day.
The theme for this year's Noah's Ark Workshop National Convention is "Magical". I have been racking my brain to think of what this could possibly mean. It's killing me! I just love this convention because so many new things are announced. It's like Christmas in June!!!
I'm sure I'll post about all the new things when I return.
On a personal note, I am turning 43 this Sunday. AGH!!! I think I'll take 34 instead. I am celebrating by attending a "STOMP" concert. Front row seats with valet parking!!! I just love attending concerts, musicals, etc... My most memorable one, though, has to be one I attended while in London a while back. It was a very warm summer for London and they don't have much air conditioning- okay, they have NO air conditioning. Anyway, I was on a group tour and we had great seats; it was our last night in the UK; and during one scene of "Whistle down the Wind", they had actual fire on the stage. Well, since we had such great seats (close to the stage), the temperature, of course, went up about a zillion degrees. I remember thinking right before it happened, there is no way they are going to have a REAL fire. And, then, sure enough, as if it weren't hot enough in the auditorium, they added fire to the picture. It was so funny we just had to laugh and wipe off the sweat!!!
Well, I have two workshops tomorrow, so I must get off to bed.
Ciao!

Summer's almost here!!! Noah's Ark Workshop by Regina


Me in CA this past April!

Hello All!
Well, it was 98 degrees here in the DFW metroplex today, so I'm going to officially call it Summer!!! AND, since my child care center workshops kick in full force this week, as well, that is the start of my CRAZY Summer Business Season, as well.

I have been so blessed to book 51 workshops between now and the end of August!!!! I have my schedule all made- my family schedule, my babysitter schedule, my "make participation forms" and deliver participation forms schedule, my ordering schedule, etc... I think I am all ready.

The scary part is that I have to what I call "blind" order for the first 9-10 workshops because they all occur within the first two weeks of the summer session for the child care centers and most order forms are not due until ONE or TWO days before the actual workshop!!! Needless to say, my "blind" order is going to be HUGE!!!!!!! Annette (my upline) will LOVE her May commission check!!! Woo-hoo! I plan to redo my front bathroom with my extra money, as well. YEA!!!

Let's see, as for business news in general, I now have 147 people on my team. Yea!!! One of my team members is working on something "top secret"- hopefully I will get to share that news in my next blog. We now have Chapter Meetings which are informational meetings for ALL Noah's Ark Crew Members. I had my first meeting in April and have another in June. It is actually open to everyone- members and those interested in joining Noah's Ark- so if you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact me for more info!

On a more personal note, some of my team members have added to their "family" teams! Some have had beautiful babies and some have adopted blessed children! Congrats to all!

I guess my most exciting business news is the 4 workshops that I booked with a local group that hosts Summer Camps for children ages 5-21 that have intellectual and related developmental disabilities. I am looking so forward to those workshops. I will be sure to blog after those workshops to share my wonderful experience with everyone.

Finally, in closing, I just wanted to give a little history of my Noah's Ark journey:

1- I was the first representative in the entire state of Texas to work the Noah's Ark Workshop Biz- I am a founding member.

2- I am the top sales person with the company for the entire US (and have been off and on for the last 2 years).

3- I am one of the top recruiters with the company with a team of 147 under me.

4- I have received many awards throughout these last 4 years including:
Rising Star of the Month; Captain's Circle; and Workshop Leader of the Year- 2006-07.

5- I have also won the top prize in many of the company contests including:
Winner of the 2007 Cruise (fully paid, including airfare) to Cozumel; the only top winner of the Convention Fees for 2007; and many other smaller contests which have included free product/credit.

If you are a mom and/or a director looking to book a Noah's Ark Workshop, please know that I am a certified 20 year Texas teacher and was chosen as the PTA Teacher of the Year in 1997. I bring much experience with children to each workshop and I pass background checks every year. Please know that each individual representative can choose to work the business in their own way. I personally guarantee that my team and I will offer you a top notch, quality workshop where the children will be our first concern. Please feel free to read my testimonies on my website as well as view my soon coming video of my conducting a birthday party workshop! Please ask for references, as well as, experience with the business before booking a workshop!

Happy Spring from Noah's Ark Workshop by Regina

Hello and hope this finds everyone well! I can't believe it is April already! I have been one busy bee this Spring. I have taken time to visit my family, though- took the trip over Easter weekend (since I don't usually have workshops on Easter weekend).
But, it has been back to work 100% since getting back in town. I am busy with both birthday party and child care center workshops, working on booking my summer workshops, and recruiting. BUT, as I have said before, it is so nice to most of the work from my home!
Oh, the newest "adventure" with Noah's Ark Workshop is Chapter Meetings! I am the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter President (assigned by my corporate offices). I will be having a meeting for any and all Noah's Ark Crew Members in the North Texas area. These meetings are not training meetings per say, but more of informational, get to know one another type meetings. I am acting as a "spokesperson" for the corporate office. I just received my agenda yesterday. I have yet to go over it. I will do that this weekend because my meeting is next Tuesday (a week from today)! In the meantime, I have been doing to serious Spring cleaning. Nothing like hosting a meeting at your home to motivate you to get some serious cleaning done. :)
Oh, one last thing before I have to get back to some paperwork-
you can join Noah's Ark Workshop for only $29 right now. This is only for the month of April. Here is the info for it:


Please feel free to contact me for more info! I am one of the top recruiters and the top sales person with the company.

Ciao,
Regina

Hello and welcome to my February 2008 newsletter! I arrived home a few weeks ago from the Noah's Ark Animal Workshop Leadership Rally in Chicago! Yes, Chicago in Winter- it was cold and snowy, but well worth the trip. I am so excited about all of the new and exciting products coming out! Please read on to see what's new.

"The Sun will Come Out, Tomorrow"
Well, it will actually come out this Spring-
February 15th to be exact!
Introducing, SUNSHINE BEAR!


This adorable new bear is 13 inches and is available for large group workshops (20 kids or more) for only $12. It is extra soft with a bright, yellow bow that is attached. The bow has pictures of suns on it, as well. I will also add it to my regular birthday party line as part of my $15 package. BUT, since this is a promotional item, this cute Sunshine bear will only be around for a limited time.

Spring Promo Animals for Large Groups
And, speaking of large groups, the Large Group animals (available for $12 each for groups of 25 more) are the Lamb, Duck, and as mentioned above, the new Sunshine Bear. If you know any child care centers that are looking for a sweet Spring/Easter activity, then this is perfect for them.

Benefits of a Noah's Ark Workshop for
Child Care Centers:
*
I take the workshop to them!
* Children LOVE this activity!
* I offer quality products at great prices!

These are 13 inch frogs that will be available June 1st! They are priced at only $12 per frog for all large group workshops of at least 20 participants! Here again, a Froggie Workshop makes for a GREAT hoppin' of a good time for all child care centers. BUT, these are only available for a limited time. They will hop out of town come August 15th.
As I am trying to grow my business with child care centers, I would so appreciate your passing the word along to any directors about my services. It's a SAFE and FUN, hands-on activity that all the children love. I just need any and all help getting the word out. Thank you!

And finally, buzzing into town this summer...
The winner of the "Design Your Own Teddy Bear" contest is BUMBLE BEAR!!!



This adorable creature will be part of the summer 2008 workshops! The price is only $12. But hurry and reserve your workshop now as I'm sure this cute bear will only be around for a short time.

Happy New Year!

Wow- it's almost been a month since I last posted. I hope everyone had a blessed Holiday Season and I hope your New Year is off to a great start!
It's back to work for me. It was nice to take a family vacation and be away from phones, computers, and everyday life. Guess that is why they call it vacation. :)
Anyway, business is going well! I have had birthday party and daycare workshops every week (except the week of vacation). The week I was gone, I was able to pass workshops off to my great team. It is so nice to have a team built up where I can call and know that the workshops will be done well! So, thank you to all my team members that are working hard and making a great name for our team- "The Stuffin' Sweet Dreams Team" of Noah's Ark Workshop!
SPECIAL- The Noah's Ark corporate offices announced a special $20 joining option available until Jan. 15th. If you are interested in joining Noah's Ark and didn't want to spend the $129, now is a perfect time to join. Here is the info on it:

Well, I am tired and need to get to bed. I started working out in the mornings and I am tired. UGH! I just have to remember that the weight I am trying to lose didn't get there in one day and it will take time and hard work to get it back off. So, any words (thoughts, prayers) of encouragement that you can send my way would be much appreciated! One's health is so important. It must be a priority. So, I guess you can say one of my goals for 2008 is to make my health a priority!
Ciao!

Early Merry Christmas from Noah's Ark Workshop

Hello all!
Hope this finds everyone doing well.
I'm in the middle of the holiday season with workshops- some are doing the cute Gingerbread friends and Snowmen, while other workshops are doing the large assorted packages with clothes. It's been a great December.
I actually took the weekend off for Thanksgiving. It was nice to relax. But, I've been back at "work" now almost non-stop. We have a family vacation coming up so I am trying to get as many workshops in as possible.
I also recently bought my tickets to the Noah's Ark Workshop Rally that will be in January. I love getting to see all the other crew members and owners. The only thing I hate is that I lose a weekend of workshops. But, that is what I have my downline for. I'll just pass any parties on to them for that weekend.
Off to work now. I have to deliver forms to two child care centers! One is Creme de la Creme and the other is an hourly drop off center called Child-n-Play.
I don't know if I will have time to blog again. So Merry Christmas to all!
I hope your season is a blessed one.
Ciao!

I am "cruising" along.

Hello!
Well, since I last blogged, I have been on the cruise that I won from the corporate offices of Noah's Ark Animal Workshop! It was awesome and I met some great new crew members! This was the first time away from my family for 5 days. And, I must admit, they survived without me. :) My son is growing up so fast. He said he missed me, but daddy/hubby did a great job! I must also admit, that I probably slept half of the trip away. I guess I didn't realize how tired I was. I guess the ship just kept rockin' me to sleep. So anyway, I am well rested and back at work full speed.
I just did a last minute party yesterday at the most beautiful house I have ever seen. The mom called yesterday morning to see if I was free. So, with a little rearranging of my schedule, I was able to do the workshop for 33 great kids. It was very fun; the kids were great; and the hostess mom was so nice.
I have one more workshop this weekend. In fact, I better close this off soon as I must go get in the shower.
In closing, we still have not officially started fall yet. It was 75 degrees yesterday. I actually did my workshop outside under a nice tent that the mom rented for me! I have 6 workshops before Thanksgiving- 2 birthday parties and 4 daycares. I will be ready to relax and eat some Turkey!
Off to "work"! Time to party!
