2007 – October
October 2007
President’s Message
It was wonderful to see so many new faces last
month as we launched another very exciting
season. I hope you found Diana Birrell’s story
as inspirational and moving as I did. It is
truly a homegrown Peterborough movement
that is inspiring hope for families across this
country.
Please look for the September issue of the
Business Advantage Magazine. This month
features Women in Business and the
Women’s Business Network. This is the sixth
consecutive year your Board will be featured
on the cover of the magazine.
Our Christmas event, being held at The
Parkway Centre, is well on its way to meeting
this year’s fundraising goal of $25,000. Your
Social Directors have initiated a monthly draw
for those who bring in their auction items
early. September’s winner of a WBN mug and
portfolio is Sue Hosang of Weekenders. Please
remember to use the membership directory
for ideas of what to contribute.
Our next meeting will be held on October
3rd. Remember to RSVP promptly to your
board member when she contacts you. Our
confirmation numbers must be in by the
Friday prior to the event. Guest registration
is accepted through the website. Don’t forget,
we now accept VISA, MasterCard and American
Express!!
As we head into the fall season, enjoy the
warm days, cool evenings and Mother Nature’s
changing landscape.

Robin Dines:
The Hillcrest - A Valenova Inn & Spa
R
obin believes strongly in the difference that wellness
can make in one’s life. She is a certified Stress and
Wellness Consultant who uses her skills to assist
others in changing their lives via finding a healthy
balance. Presently, as the owner of The Hillcrest Inn
and spa in Port Hope, Robin will share her values of
“strength through wellness” with the women of WBN.
Robin will talk about how to recognize when stress is
having an impact on your body and mind. Learn how
to understand your ‘satisfiers’ so you can decide
how to encourage ‘good’ stress and how to deal with
the ‘bad’ stress. It will take years off your body age!
In 2004, she closed the corporate chapter of her life
- leaving a 22-year executive career in the financial
industry. In a bold leap of faith, she acquired The
Hillcrest Inn and Spa in Port Hope, formerly a part
of the Ste. Anne’s / Haldimand Hills Spa Village. This
provided her with a venue to implement some of her
most cherished values. Her new company, Valenova
Enterprises, embraces the concept of strength
through wellness and models excellence in a truly
unique way.
