Dear NSA-NYC Friends,
Here we are again, a little late. We can blame it on the weather, but
instead, the fact is that we've had many programs going on in NSA-NYC that
took our attention.
Updates from the board on these activities are included in this edition.
You'll read the latest on Fast Track, Speakers University and our upcoming
calendar for the rest of the year through June,2004.
You'll also read about what your colleagues have been doing and plan to do
in the coming months. The hope is that this will be an inspiration to you to
write that article, get that radio interview or work on that book you've
been thinking about.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2004 will be filled with
love, good health and peace.
Warmly,
Dottie Burman

2. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
[Editors note: Although our goal is to increase paid presentations, I know
that many of us continue to do community service prorgrams. Of course, these
can sometimes lead to paid work. However, as you will see, there is another
kind of payoff in doing this.]
Roslyn Rolan writes,"On October 21, I co-sponsored an event at the Northern
NJ Gilda's Club in Hackensack, NJ. called 'Redefining Personal Beauty' which
was presented to over 50 female cancer survivors who were drained of color
and energy after going through radiation and chemical therapy. Prior to the
event, eight of the women received makeovers at my co-sponsor's Aesthetics
Salon. The beauticians cut and colored the women's hair, and I did their
makeup. I also took their before and after photographs. I then presented a
two hour workshop on personal color, skin care and the use of proper makeup.
Trish McEvoy company donated makeup samples for all the guests. It was a
huge success, with some media coverage. However the main purpose was
achieved of giving encouragement to these women who had suffered so much."

[Editor's Note: I am including Bob's description of how he has marketed this

"The books have had abundant publicity: featured in Parade magazine (34
million readers); The Newark Star -Ledger as well as moved on the NYTimes

interest feature Thanksgiving Day on 29 major market TV stations with 2.7
million viewers . Books were Foundation sponsored as gifts to the foster
care community of parents/social workers/foster children over age 12 in

Both books are for general reading public and have the foster care element
only as a mechanism to attract the 18,000 member agencies of The Child

author grew up in foster care and sought this national connection with CWLA

7. FREE SERVICES OR MATERIALS YOU WOULD LIKE TO OFFER TO CHAPTER MEMBERS
SPEAKING OPPORTUNITY
Sal Musco
It's a bit off Broadway.
Ok, it's WAY off Broadway... in New Jersey, but a terrific 20 min. spot for
breaking in new material or just logging some extra 'flight time'. The
audience is a 30-40 member Rotary club; the venue, a First Class hotel -
that serves a first class breakfast, the fee... by special arrangement, and
at great personal sacrifice, I've persuaded them not to charge you a dime!
Anyone interested (other gigs may also be coming available) should please
contact me, NYTS member, Sal Musco at sal@salmusco.com
Jaymie Meyer
I would like to offer a one-on-one 60 minute session to anyone who would
like to practice yoga. My home studio or your Manhattan home are possible
locations. I work with people at beginning and intermediate levels - from a
very gentle practice to more challenging. Any questions e-mail: jaymie@jaymie.com
