Devote Yourself to creating something that gives you purpose . . .
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
Tuesdays with Morrie, author Mitch Albom
Successful Event
Wednesday evenings 3 Degrees - Connected™ kickoff event was a great success. We had between 35 and 40 participants take part in our first of three annual events to create a space for women to connect with women and stimulate business in West Michigan.
At this event we had twelve women's businesses represented by tables, two support organizations, a hostess, and one local businesses man (and his son) who conducted the gold for cash exchange which brought money to our cause to support women's businesses in underdeveloped regions of the world.
Companies represented in the first 3 Degrees - Connected™ Event were:
- Stock, LLC (Stacey Krastin and Sarah Kallio)
- Jenifer's Cakes (Jenifer Walsh)
- Elemental Design (Karyn Streeting)

The Gold Buyers for our kickoff event:
- J Morgan, LTD (John and Grant Morgan)
John Morgan has graciously offered that anyone coming into his Jewelry store in downtown Grand Haven who mentions that they were referred to him through 3 Degrees - Connected, he will support our cause by writing a check to us for creating micro-loans to women's businesses in under-developed regions of the world. What was to be a one-time offer has turned into an ongoing commitment. (See post GOLD Buyer for more information about his services)
