Health and Wellness Fair, New Logo, Summertime, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois!

5/7/2018

LOTS to update this time and they are all positive! I came back from my trip in sunny Scotland (except when climbing the mountain Ben Lomand (picture evidence of sun and mountain to the right... it is NEVER sunny there). I am feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work with my community!

1) The 2018 Health and Wellness fair in Oak Park was a wonderful introduction to my wider community (see pictures!). I will write more in a details post later, but I met amazing vendors and service providers in Oak Park, handed out over 100 business cards, key chains and brochures. I had volunteers, my brother, and a few "vultures" vying for my two board games of "Clue" as they competed in my Tic-Tac-Toe Tournament! Strategies proved to win the day- congratulations to Aurelie and Bessima for their wins! These two girls brought this fair to life challenging everyone and learning the tricks of the game quickly!

*Teen Entrepreneur Shout Out! *
Before I could be ready for the fair, I got an official version of my logo (not done by myself, but someone with training this time). I had the amazing work of Briana Laws- a teen from my community who wants to be a graphic designer! She is a daughter of a former colleague, and was ready to go.

During our business interactions, she was professional, polite, efficient and I am very happy with the result! If you'd like to be connected to her for your business, I am happy to try to connect you!

2) It is MAY! Can you believe it!? See my services page to find out what's cooking for summer groups. I am really digging into the teen community here in Oak Park and I am very excited to run some groups for topics that are fine-tuning our control, including why and when we do and do not want to "blend in". I also hope to run a fun campaign of Dungeons and Dragons, among other fun games!

3) I am FINALLY a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO provider! Phew! I would say I can start immediately with insurance, but I think I need to talk with some colleagues and make sure I do this all the right way. I am very excited for the possibilities that this will open up for all of us to work together! Thanks for your continued understanding, patience & interest while I grow and learn!

Stay tuned for more posts about the fair and this summer. I am so excited and happy with my work- I am a lucky woman and so grateful to my community.
