Event, events and even more events!

Hi All, just a quick update on the things we have been doing out here on the east coast. I am working with The Newark Women Build - and the collaboration is going well. The ladies (and the men lurking around from Habitat) are loving the tools. It's going to be a great experience and a wonderful fundraiser. I just did a Tools 101 Class.. While we had torrential down pour but it went well and I have over $300.00 in sales. I am splitting my commission with the fundraising event... so it works out for us all.

Kathy S. Tomboy of Long Island & I did an event for Nassau County Girl Scout Leaders Oktoberfest Retreat. It went wonderful... as Kathy put it.. "over 200 women introduced to Tomboy Tools!" It was truly amazing! We even got the chance to hook up with Leslie Segrete again.. We had a blast. The women Loved Tomboy Tools. It was truly overwhelming! It felt good as they chanted "Tomboy, Tomboy" as we left the event. I am already to go back again next year!

Elaine H. Tomboy of Philly & I teamed up to do a Susan G Komen shopping event Girls Gone Shopping in Philly. The event was well put together & well attended. Sales were soft, but we did meet some great people, got some great ideas and a few contacts... If nothing else, we got great exposure. I even had a woman tell me she saw a truck with the logo.. when she realized that she saw me in my minivan before the event. Good news, I didn't cut "HER" off! (I sometimes I drive like Annie Hall).

All in all good things. I am excited about the exposure these events will bring. Pink Hammer sales have been a bit soft, but other sales are picking up. My Tomboy team, The Tri-State Toolers still have a few more events this year... Including welcoming Tomboy Tools corporate on Nov 12th in Bethlehem, PA. A Tomboy in Every Town . So the best is still yet to come! Contact me if you want to attend this event!

I mentioned before that I am published. My 1000 word article was posted in an October issue of the Parent Guide News Magazine. Thank you Pamela S. Eaton-Ford for the photo... You did get proper credit. Although my web address in the story was printed wrong, someone googled me to find me. Hopefully the other potential customers will do the same. Parent Guide is going to print a small blurb in the WOMOM section of the paper about Tomboy Tools in the December 2006 issue. So hopefully that will foster gift-giving sales. That's all I will type for now.. although so much more to tell. Be well, do well! NJT
