RL Tuesday Social Morning
Our Social Morning will meet this week from 9.30-12 noon in Baker Finch Room at Arabian Ranches Golf Club. Please note the programme starts at 10.30 am.
15 October 2019: Kyra Van Den Berg
“Energy Vampires”
This Tuesday we welcome Kyra van den Berg as our speaker with a talk about “energy vampires”.
Have you ever walked into a room, where immediately you feel down? Have you ever sat in meetings where, half-way through, you are just so drained you can’t focus anymore? How about that friend, that you care about but at the same time when he/she leaves, you have no energy anymore?
These are all examples of energy vampires. They can be people and places. In this session we will find out:
* how to protect yourself from energy vampires before you meet them
* how to deal with an energy vampire when you encounter one
* how can you recharge yourself after an encounter with an energy vampire?

RL Requests
RL is run entirely by volunteers and we rely on your kindness to give a few hours of your time each week to assist the Committee and keep Ranches Ladies running. We are currently looking for deputies to act as assistants to Jackie (Circles Coordinator), Anne (our treasurer) and to update the website with Sara (Webteam).
The easiest way you can help is to volunteer as one of our Meet and Greet ladies if you have a little time once a month. You will be asked to help out at roughly one Tuesday Social Morning a month and your role will be to show new members around, explain about the Circles, find them a seat with a group and make sure they have coffee and someone to talk to.
Please speak to Julia on ranches.ladies@gmail.com for more information about being a meet and greet lady or talk to any of the committee if you think you can help in any other way.
We collect pre-loved books which are available at the Tuesday Social Morning, free to RL members. Please bring in any books you have enjoyed reading.
Important Info
Please remember, you need to be a current member of Ranches Ladies to join any of our Circles, attend our trips or claim your discounts. If you know anyone who would like to join Ranches Ladies please bring them on a Tuesday morning and see our website How To Join Our Membership
