This Week's Meeting

Suzanne Chaney, Shaklee Distributor

Are you a Good Steward of your Health?

Suzanne has built her business on her passion to inspire people to be good stewards of their health. She delights in helping people understand the nutrition industry. The nutrition industry is not regulated and as a result the nutrition industry is the wild, wild west. Suzanne will talk about the Shaklee Difference and a little on the smoke and mirrors that are common practices in the nutrition industry.

See you there.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

 


If you missed last Wednesday's meeting ...

Lee Schearer, American Real Estate and Appraisal Company

Real Estate in the Triangle Region

Lee Schearer - Owner of American Real Estate & Appraisal Company has seen numerous "ebbs & flows" in real estate values and interest rates since his licensure in March of 1971 (48 years in business). He also accredits much of his success to his faithful participation and attendance to the Chapel Hill Leads Group, now in its 21 consecutive years. He will be available to entertain a lively discussion, questions and opinions about either of these subjects.

... You were indeed missed.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

Did You Know:

From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members

"June 6, 1944 D-Day!"

As most of us know, D-Day was not just another battle in World War II, it was "The Battle" that began the end of Nazism Germany and the fascism government that was responsible for the death of millions of people and millions more that endured slavery throughout the world. The code name for D-Day was Operation Overlord. Google it!

If you have ever watched the movie Saving Private Ryan, you may get a "taste" of what transpired on that fateful morning. Of the more that 10,000 casualties, the American death toll accounted for the majority on D-day. For a better understanding of D-Day I encourage you to Google "D-Day".

For me, D-Day is more significant as my Father, a Captain of a machine gun company, was in the first group of American soldiers to land on Omaha Beach around 6:30AM. which was the most heavily fortified beachfront. Whether by luck, military training, or just the will of God, he survived that day and went on to serve our country for over 27 years with my Mother and my siblings "in toe". With D-Day being a significant day for me, I would be remiss not to acknowledge the Leads Group and especially Sharon Hill, who have presented me with several books, photos and other memorabilia regarding the events of that day.

I encourage all of us, especially those of you who have children at home, to make sure that the events of D-Day are not lost to annals of history. The events of that day ensured the freedoms that we all enjoy right now, right here and hopefully in our future of our children and grandchildren.

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer


Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
