Coffee. Cupcakes. Goals. ✔️☕🧁

Today we had a Referral Machine Sweet Goals Session—celebrating wins from last year and setting intentions for the year ahead, both personally and professionally.

Huge thanks to Mary with Lovey Coffee for sharing her amazing coffee and sweet treats, and Brook Terhune, Realtor for hosting. Grateful for this group and the energy we’re bringing into this next year! ✨

Happy Halloween from BNI - The Referral Machine Chapter! 🎃🍬

We had a fantastic open house last week with featured speakers Brook Terhune from Corcoran Icon Properties and Eric Norris from Bulldog Electric. Congratulations to Brook on her 21st year in the real estate industry! 🥳. And a special thanks to all of the guests who joined our meeting.

Kristen Preuss and Chris Fernandez kicked off their day by volunteering with the Parks Department of Santa Rosa, making a tangible difference in their community through park clean-up. Their selfless act is a powerful reminder that individual actions can collectively create a ripple effect of positive change, inspiring others to follow suit.

How awesome was this event?! Our own Chris Fernandez is an MMA fighter and his training gym, Resurrection Training Club, had a fantastic open house today. Nelle Churchill was there with bodywork demos and Mary Orellana brought her Lovey Coffee Co. trailer to keep everyone caffeinated and happy. It’s a great feeling when we show up for each other both professionally and personally. Thank you to Kevin, Lisa, Brandon, Kristen, Nelle, Mary, and Chris (and any camera shy people we may have missed) for supporting one another and our chapter’s events. Can’t wait to see you all at our next event!

Yesterday’s presentations took us on a relaxing and beautiful journey. First we heard from Milla Veretilnyk of Samadarshana Clarty Breathwork. She talked us through a breathing exercise that brought everyone into a clear and relaxing space. Dan Quinones of Pine Photo and Video followed and shared his fine art photography with the room and we were all in awe at the beautiful moments he captures. Thank you both Milla and Dan for the wonderful presentations. Keep them in mind this week as you move through your spheres and find folks who may benefit from their services.

Part of what makes The Referral Machine special is the support our members show one another outside of our weekly networking meetings. This weekend a few of us attended a performance by The Valley of the Moon Chamber Ensemble to watch our own Kevin Jones, owner of Fastsigns of Santa Rosa. Their music was enchanting and we look forward to catching their holiday show this winter.
