Brett Atkin –My Website Designer and Sounding Board

I love the work he does for me. It’s always timely and thorough…and I’m pretty "picky." Feel free to contact Brett to have him look at your website.  He’ll provide feedback on what he sees that is good, could be improved, or other ideas you might want to consider…and he’ll be happy to provide this service without charge.  See what he thinks about your website.  And, if you need to update your existing website or create a new website, at least talk to Brett to see if he can exceed your needs and expectations as he has exceeded mine.

Cathy Beltz – 1893-House.com

Cathy makes chocolates from time-tested recipes like Buckeyes as well as some of her own creations like Raspberry Decadence (a dark chocolate cup filled with raspberry, topped with a touch of milk chocolate, garnished with chopped pecan.  Yum!)  They are packaged in little 2” boxes, which are just right as a thank-you gift or to keep for yourself.  Add a ribbon, and they’re perfect wedding or party favors.  These delicious treats are available directly through Cathy, at various coffee shops in the Cincinnati area, and as the private label candies for Blue Chip Gourmet.  Gift baskets with 1893 House chocolates, coffees, teas, etc. are also available.

Impact 100 – Dare to Give

Impact 100 is a non-profit organization comprised of women with a desire to make a difference in the lives of others in the Greater Cincinnati area.  Membership is open to all women.  Impact 100 has a minimum of 100 members who each donate $1,000 a year, which is due by December 31st.  The great news is that 100% of the funds is returned to the community in the form of grants.  In other words, by the year-end all $100,000 (and we hope more) is given to a worthy non-profit organization in the Greater Cincinnati area…where the members narrow down the non-profit pool and vote on which non-profit should receive the money.  As a busy woman, you can choose to write a check and vote…or get more involved.  That’s why I LOVE it!
