From the Desk of<br />

nafe Global Coordinator<br />
& GSFE Founder/President<br />
I always say that "together we can do more" and I am hoping that you all will join together and get your ticket for this years<br />
Woman's Conference in Hollywood October 5th as its going to be amazing. The cost is only $100.00 and that includes<br />
continental breakfast, lunch, dynamic speakers and entertainers, opportunity drawings and great vendors. The vendor tables<br />
are all sold out. The flyer can be seen in this magazine with all the information or you can call me 951-255-9200 for more<br />
information and to get your tickets. No tickets will be sold at the door,<br />
I also want to thank our conference sponsors that have come in so far, they are Ruby Jadwet, Truly Green Solutions, who is<br />
our Gold Sponsor, Barbara Berg - Ring Shui and Melissa Hull who are our SIlver Sponsors and Dame Shellie Hunt -The<br />
Women of Global Change who is our Bronze sponsor. Still looking for some additional sponsors so contact me if you are<br />
interested or know someone that would be interested.<br />
Also looking for items to be added to our Opportunity Drawing Baskets, we have inkind donation letters so if you know<br />
anyone that might want to donate an inkind donation let me know and I will send them one of our letters with our non profit<br />
number listed.<br />
We moved the conference to LA this year so our LA members would not have to drive to the Inland Empire, which means<br />
this year our Orange County and Inland Empire members will have to drive to LA. So I am counting on the LA members to<br />
get tickets and to share the flyer for the conference with their friends and business associates. I also want to thank the<br />
Inland Empire and OC members that are getting their tickets I am most grateful for the support as I cannot do it alone and I<br />
am counting on each of you.<br />
For those that live in the Riverside County area I am hoping you will also get a ticket for the Extravaganza 5 event I am<br />
doing Sept 22nd at Webb Hall In Sun City, You can see the flyer in the magazine for more information. This is a fund<br />
raising benefit for Sun City Coordinating Council, Dresses and Dream Project and GSFE. All are 501 c3 non profits. The<br />
Sun City coordinating council works with Seniors, Dresses and Dream Project (formerly operation prom girl) works with<br />
teens and also women in the Military and GSFE works with women, the profits from this event will be split between the<br />
three groups. It's an afternoon of desserts and entertainment on Sunday Sept 22 from 1 to 5pm , there also will be<br />
opportunity drawings there as well. The tickets are only $15.00 and no tickets will be sold at the door. 100 tickets gone<br />
already so if you can come and support this cause get your ticket now by calling me 951-255-9200.<br />
Joan Wakeland, Lauryn Hunter and I are working on the Holiday party not sure if we will do two yet, the one for Riverside<br />
is set and we just might only do one and have everyone SHOW UP at that one so they get to know each other better, we will<br />
keep you posted. Remember to wear Red to the Holiday party. We will have more information soon. The date is December<br />
10th at the Canyon Crest Country Club.<br />
For the conference we would love everyone to wear the cobalt blue as last year it looked so awesome to see everyone in<br />
blue. It is not mandatory but would be great.
CD Wilson events (Carl Wilson) is doing lots of 2020 All Women Rock events, so if you know anyone in any of the<br />
areas below that you feel are worthy of an award even you then me the names and contact info and I will get it to Carl<br />

I am looking for some in kind donations for the<br />
Opportunity baskets so perhaps you were given some<br />
gifts you don't use and would like to re-gift them we<br />
would be happy to have them for our baskets. So if you<br />
have stuff please email me rmotter@aol.com and let me<br />
know what you can donate. We want some items also for<br />
door prizes.<br />
We have been receiving some great items as I sent out<br />
240 letters for request of donations for the conference and<br />
a little over 200 for the Extravaganza and they are<br />
starting to come in, I will start compiling the list of the<br />
donors this coming week, still working on trying to get a<br />
few more sponsors for the conference.<br />
We also could use some big baskets so if you have some<br />
you no longer want we will be happy to take them off<br />
your hands. We want to make the baskets this year more<br />
valuable and do less baskets but have them be worth<br />
more so that means we need lots bigger baskets.
Also if you have a place you go all the time to eat, hair,<br />
nails, workouts, lube for car etc and would like to ask<br />
them to donate an item for our events or one of the<br />
events, I can send you our inkind donation letter for the<br />
conference and for Extravaganza that has our non profit<br />
number on it. Both events are a fund raiser and since we<br />
are also a non profit it is tax deductible and it would be<br />
wonderful to get a little help from our members and of<br />
course I hope that you will all buy a ticket. You can buy<br />
them online see the flyers below with the link or you can<br />
send a check payable to GSFE to me Robbie Motter<br />
27701 Murrieta Road #216 Menifee, CA 92586 and I will<br />
see that you get your ticket.<br />
All the entertainers are in place for the Extravaganza and<br />
all the speakers and entertainers and location and menu is<br />
in place for the conference.<br />
It was wonderful to see so many nafe members at the All<br />
Women Rock in Orange County recently they all looked<br />
amazing and I was honored to be able to give out the<br />
awards. Most everyone of our nafe gals wore the purple<br />
so it was easy to see the winners.
June 20, 2020 will be the LA All Women Rock and I will be a<br />
part of that one as well.<br />
Carl is doing several others and additional women have<br />
stepped to the plate to help him which is great as I am just<br />
too busy with nafe and GSFE stuff, but I will do the LA one<br />
June 20 2020 as many of our members will be getting<br />
awards then.<br />
I understand nafe member Kimberly Anderson will be taking<br />
a role like I had with All Women Rock Hawaii so if you<br />
know anyone in Hawaii that needs to get nominated let<br />
Kimberly or Carl know they need their contact number and if<br />
possible a jpeg photo and what they do. I have several in<br />
Hawaii I can contact them with and one of the women runs a<br />
big women's event there. Other areas for 2020 coming up are<br />
San Diego April 26 2020 at the Rancho Bernardo inn, Atlanta<br />
Georgia, May 23, 2020, Riverside August 27, 2020, Palm<br />
Springs at the Palm Springs Hilton Sept 24th 2020, he also<br />
has Utah, San Antonio Texas and probably more for 2020 and<br />
of course La will be June 20 2020 so send names to Carl<br />
Wilson at cdwilson0115@gmail.com his phone is<br />
951-241-5343
It is a great opportunity to nominate worthy people you<br />
know so take time and do it as remembered how you felt<br />
if you were one of the ones that just got their award. We<br />
do not do what we do for awards but it is always nice to<br />
be recognized.<br />
I total enjoyed doing the All Women Rock OC and<br />
thrilled that others have stepped up to help him in other<br />
areas as I just was not able to add more to my plate as I<br />
have the extravaganza 5, the conference, two nafe<br />
holiday parties and the nafe awards for next year plus<br />
keeping up with the networks not only in CA but across<br />
the country as well and keeping up with my nonprofit<br />
work totally fills my plate.<br />
I did Saturday night judge the Ms Super Model event for<br />
Carl in Moreno Valley I was one of 7 judges but I was a<br />
judge for a special awards not judging what the other<br />
judges were doing and that was great. I gave a special<br />
award and what was awesome as I had a different point<br />
system and the person I selected ended up winning from<br />
the points from the 6 other judges plus my #2 and #3<br />
actually ended up as the same #2 and #3 that all the 6<br />
judges selected. The winner was great and well poised<br />
and wore her corp outfit and gown beautifully she was<br />
from another country but lives here now and was very<br />
beautiful
A PODCAST INVITATION<br />
From Robbie Motter<br />
Attention Ladies!<br />
Here is a great Opportunity<br />
for you to be on Podcast Shows<br />
I was just Gifted 364 pages with 325 podcasts. The podcasts are presented in the<br />
form of a copyrighted binder with all of the upcoming podcast itineraries that<br />
cannot be photocopied, or reproduced as the listings are proprietary covering a<br />
wide array of topics and as I mentioned copyrighted.<br />
The binder has 364 pages with listings of 325 podcast shows with specific topics<br />
for each podcast. Each page describe details of each of the podcasts complete<br />
with a weblink for the show and who to contact.<br />
The good news is I can allow those interested in taking part in these dynamic<br />
podcasts to view the listings to determine the shows that would be of the most<br />
interest and take notes These podcasts are very high profile with a great<br />
opportunity to promote your brand or business affiliation.<br />
Bottom line, anyone interested please contact me ASAP and we will set a time for<br />
an informal meeting to brainstorm the possibilities while perhaps enjoying a glass<br />
of wine at my place. There is every category of Podcast shows and they are<br />
broken into sections by categories and every listing is on a individual page. It<br />
also tells you on the page what type of guests they look for. Lots of opportunities<br />
for coaches, authors, speakers and people in Health as well as lots of other<br />
categories. So the info is available it’s up to you to make time to gather it. I will<br />
also be bringing the binder to nafe chapter meetings. Robbie Motter

Dame Shellie Hunt<br />
It is with great honor I extend this invite to you.<br />
I remember years ago when I was starting the Women<br />

collaboration & partnership with me. Robbie was the<br />
first to say “we will” with no hesitation. That day the<br />
(WGC) Women of Global Change & NAFE partnership<br />
was formed. Since then we have supported each other<br />
standing in sisterhood for our networks, businesses,<br />
and making a positive difference in the world.<br />
In addition It is with honor we will present Robbie<br />
Motter with the Global Sisterhood & collaboration<br />

Oct. 24-26 in Las Vegas.<br />
It is also in that spirit of sisterhood & partnership an<br />
incredible partner code had been provided for $100 off<br />
for NAFE & GSFE and can be applied to your<br />
choosing. Even a vendor booth with event ticket. Just<br />
put in NAFE19.... WGC Member prices apply to you<br />
because of our partnership so that adds an additional<br />
$50 off for early bird!!!<br />

met Robbie for the first time that night, her life has started changing! Yes, Robbie has that effect on folks!<br />
Robbie introduced Allysun to Joan, As Joan was trying to find a place in Hemet to hold Meetings. Allysun is working<br />
with the owner of “ The Opera House Tea Room. “.<br />
On Saturday August 17, Allysun had a Masquerade Mixer. She made it open to the Public and provided masks. Some of<br />
the attendees wore costumes and everyone got lace masks that were created by Allysun, It was a great event! The<br />
desserts also were amazing and made by Allysun who is an accomplished baker having studied in Paris who does<br />
amazing work.<br />
Joan fell in love with the ambiance of the place and with the suggestion from Allysun and Robbie we are proud to say<br />
that Nafe Hemet will launch on the first Thursday of the month! It will be a Noon Meeting and ending by 2:00pm. The<br />

LONG BEACH NAFE NEWS<br />
by Robbie Motter r<br />
Well we are awaiting news from the Restaurant if we can start meeting in September, its the same restaurant that<br />
we use to meet at but got closed so we have been waiting for it to reopen and it has so now we are waiting to see<br />
if they will let us meet there again.<br />
The new name of the restaurant is Jade Restaurant at Marina Pacifica 6380 E Pacific Coast Hwy and their<br />
website is www.jade-restaurant.com .<br />
They have not changed much of the decor so the restaurant is the same as when we met there<br />
We are hoping to be able to start the meetings back in September but it could be October before we get it all<br />
approved. So stay tuned. We meet the 3rd Tuesday we will send out a notice as soon as we know.<br />
I also did an interview not on this subject but about mentoring for the Long Beach Business Journal which will<br />
come out August 27. I was interviewed by Samantha Mehlinger, Editor.<br />
I also told her about the reopening of the Long Beach nafe and she told me to call her when we knew the date and<br />
she would put it in the paper so that was great.<br />
A big Happy Birthday to my fantastic co-director Ilja Haverkorn who lives in the area and has been a great<br />
source for me and this network, She celebrated her birthday on August 13th. Ilja has been a ver long time<br />
nafe member over 16 years and what I love about her she always has a great smile on her face. She is a great<br />
mother to her two boys and a great friend to me and a wonderful nafe sister to all.<br />
We are looking forward to getting this network back up and running and build it and with her help I know we can<br />
accomplish the task. Ilja is one of those individuals always ready to lead a helping hand and I love the fact that<br />
she loves to SHOW UP, she will drive anywhere and we always love having her SHOW UP at a variety of<br />
events as she makes things fun.<br />
So send us names of anyone you know in the Long Beach area that we can invite to our relaunch of the<br />
network. Don't have a speaker set yet as we need to find out when its going to start and I am thinking probably<br />
October to give us time to build a list of names to invite.
Menifee<br />
Angeline Benjamin<br />
Co-Director
Our August Menifee meeting was great,<br />
Marcy Decato from Creative Solution<br />
Marketing was our speaker and she talked<br />
about the importance of Branding You and<br />
Your Business and gave us some great<br />
insight as what we need to do to make sure<br />
we create a memorable brand. She even<br />
touched on individuals should brand<br />
themselves. Everyone left really excited to<br />
Robbie Motter & Marcy Decato implement some of her ideas into her brand.<br />
Marcy is a great speaker so if you have a group or know of a group that needs<br />
a speaker contact her at Marxy@creativesolutionsmktg.com<br />
This month Menifee nafe wants to feature long time member<br />
Dorothy Wolons<br />
Dorothy Wolons with the Medal from the President of the<br />
United States for her dedication to service and volunteer work.<br />
Dorothy first joined nafe in 2016 and has been a great<br />
supporter ever since. She is an outstanding mother to two sons<br />
John and Jordan and a daughter Jurnie.<br />
Dorothy is a woman of many talents and is always the first one<br />
when help is needed to jump in and give of her time.<br />
She has done numerous volunteer projects over the years in<br />
Menifee, including dressing up and being the head ELF and<br />
teaching other elfs for the Annual Menifee Santa project.<br />
She is a member of the GFWC Menifee/Sun City Woman's<br />
Club and has held several board positions over the years with<br />
them, last year she was the Newsletter editor and did an<br />
outstanding job.<br />
Over the years she has been very involved in the pageant industry as her daughter Jurnie Hughes was<br />
in many pageants and Dorothy was right there to support her and other mothers who had daughters in<br />
the various pageants..<br />
Dorothy has a great background in Marketing she studied Journalism and Marketing Communications<br />
at Wayne State University and took many other courses in business over the years in other locations.<br />
She has a great eye for business and also spends lots of time helping her fiancee Rafael Cano with his<br />
two automotive businesses in Menifee. AES Automotive and New Hub Auto Repair.
One of the exciting things she is<br />
doing now is being there for her<br />
soon to be new daughter in law<br />
Katie Holmquist who is marrying<br />
Dorothy's son John Hughes in<br />
October. Dorothy is very excited<br />
about the festivities that are being<br />
planned for the big day and<br />
already loves her soon to be<br />
daughter-in-law and Katie feels the<br />

This month we are featuring nafe Member Virginia Earl<br />
Murrieta News<br />
By Sandie Fuenty, Director<br />
Virginia Earl is a Spiritual Healer and the owner of Seven Mystic Rings in Old Town<br />
Temecula, California, and is a resident of Murrieta, CA.<br />
I first met Virginia when she became a member of my Murrieta nafe network in October<br />
2018. Virginia is a widow with a beautiful daughter that she is raising.<br />
She was born in Uruguay and has three siblings, one sister in L.A., another in Maine and a<br />
brother in Barcelona.<br />
Virginia lives in Murrieta with her daughter and their dog called Chaos. She enjoys cooking gourmet meals, loves to<br />
travel, fine dining and wine tasting. Her other favorite things are meditating, the ocean, movies, writing, Port Wine,<br />
dark chocolate and truffles, and spa treatments.<br />
Virginia graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in journalism and since has worked for major<br />
publishing houses traveling overseas to interview CEOs as far away as the Amazon. She has worked as a writer for<br />
trade journals in the environmental, fashion, food and beverage industries, among others.
She is actively involved with the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce and was awarded Ambassador of the Month<br />
this past August. She’s also a member of the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE), Trusted Business<br />
Partners (TBP) and she is also listed in Who’s Who Among Hispanic Americans.<br />
In 1995, she started her first business, Translations Unlimited South America, which till this day provides translations<br />
services from English into European, Asian and South American languages. Virginia speaks Spanish and Portuguese but<br />
most of her translation work is handled by a staff of freelancers.<br />
She is also an editor for a news agency in New York and is in the process of finishing up her first book.<br />
In 2014, after traveling to South America and to Asia the following year, she opened her second business, Seven Mystic<br />
Rings in Old Town Temecula, California.<br />
Today, she is a Spiritual Healer and uses an ancient technique called The Akashic Records to identify the why behind her<br />
clients roadblocks to get them unstuck so they can live a life of purpose and clarity.<br />
Virginia Earl is a gifted psychic. She is Clairvoyant, Clairsentient, a Medium, and Certified Reiki Master. Her spiritual<br />
journey began when she was only a few weeks old during an event that ultimately changed her life.<br />
This set the stage for other events in her life that lead her to believe that that there is more than the here and now, and as<br />
she grew up, this feeling followed her for years. She especially held onto it when her family experienced personal turmoil.<br />
This life-changing event fostered an even greater desire for a spiritual connection. In 2014, Virginia Earl followed her<br />
spiritual path and began studying under the tutelage of Ernesto Ortiz, founder and president of Journey to the Heart in<br />
Miami.<br />
She traveled to South America and Asia where she learned about the sacred energy of The Akashic Records and where she<br />
also received her Akashic Records Certifications (Akashic Records Intensive: Levels I, II & III in Guatemala; Akashic<br />
Records Intensive: Levels I, II & III in Bali; Akashic Records Consultant Certification). She is also a Certified Reiki<br />
Master and offers Reiki Sessions in combination with Akashic Records Readings.<br />
In 2001, Yogi Bhajan blessed Virginia to live with the spiritual name of Guru Soorya Kaur, which means "Princess of the<br />
Sun who brings one from darkness to light" —a fitting name honoring the spiritual work she offers her clients today as a<br />
Certified Akashic Records Consultant by bringing that which is hidden in past lives, in the subconscious, to light —into<br />
the present.<br />
Virginia enjoys being of service to those who seek her and It is her compassion, kindness and loving heart combined with<br />
her spiritual talents that she is able to help her clients identify blockages, as well as belief systems and behavioral patterns<br />
that no longer serve them.<br />
In June <strong>2019</strong>, she was one of the award recipients for the 2 nd Annual All Women Rock awards in Orange County for her<br />
spiritual work and dedication in making a difference to help others improve their lives.<br />
She also was interviewed by Psychic Medium Kelly McClure as well as Influencer Robbie Motter, Global Leader and<br />
Director of the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE) and Global Society for Female Executives (GFSE).<br />
Virginia is the only Journey to the Heart Akashic Records Certified Consultant in Murrieta, California, and offers Akashic<br />
Records readings in Temecula in English and Spanish locally and internationally. Virginia can be reached at<br />
