I’m Julie Curtis with CTS Financial Services.  I’m a representative of H.D. Vest Financial Services owned by Wells Fargo, based out of Dallas, Texas .  I love to help people.  My greatest desire is to make a difference in people’s lives, one family at a time.  My job is to assist my clients in living their ideal lifestyle by helping them sort out, organize, and make sense of their finances. 

Whether it’s insuring their life, consolidating debt, saving for their children’s education, or making sure they have enough assets to retire, I can provide families some peace of mind around their finances.  It may be a client just wants to save for that ideal home in a few years.  I can help with one goal or a few.  Whatever my client feels is important, I am here to be of assistance.

I offer a complimentary needs analysis for anyone who just wants to find out if they are on the right track.

Member, Tricia Blazy, has just launched her new part time career with Arbonne products. Tricia met Jennifer Cabic, an independent consultant, at our one year anniversary celebration while Jennifer was attending her vendor table. Tricia was impressed with the botanical nature of the products, and how there is no animal testing.

Tricia also considers herself as someone who enjoys skin care products and has much experience with all kinds under the sun. She is excited to be your next consultant! Visit and support her at her new web site: http://triciablazy.myarbonne.com/arbonne/triciablazy.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument

From the web site:
Arbonne premium skin care products are formulated in Switzerland at the Arbonne Institute of Research and Development (AIRD) and made in the U.S.A. Our proprietary skin care formulas are:

• Botanically based
• pH correct
• Hypoallergenic
• Dermatologist tested
• Never tested on animals
• Formulated without animal products or by-products
• Formulated without mineral oil
• Formulated without dyes or chemical fragrances*  

*From time to time, Arbonne will incorporate fragrance in specialty bath and body skin care products. This inclusion will be clearly marked as fragrance on the ingredient list. Keep in mind, all products must pass voluntary Repeat Insult Patch Tests to ensure safety to the consumer prior to introduction.

On a personal note from me, I have already purchased and have been enjoying many of the products. So far I am impressed with everything, including the face foundation about which I am EXTREMELY picky, and am looking forward to doing more business with Arborrne and Tricia. Thanks!

Kathy Dickason, member of WOW! will speak about her company and what it is like to run a business. Hers is Navis Pack and Ship Centers.

Navis Pack & Ship Centers is a third party logistics Network, a family of related companies that include hundreds of franchised Navis outlets and affiliated agents. The Navis network can solve packaging and shipping problems for industry, small businesses and consumers nationwide. Navis specializes in fragile, large, awkward, and valuable items, what we call FLAV.^TM We have the special equipment, training, insurance, and relationships with shippers needed to package and safely deliver such items anywhere in the world.

Navis was founded in 1980 as a single retail store and expanded in 1984 with franchise operations in its Handle with Care Packaging Store. In 2002 Navis opened a new franchise, Navis Pack & Ship Center, based on its original franchise only operating in a warehouse and specializing in difficult to ship valuables. The Cleveland location was opened in December, 2005 by Doug and Kathy Dickason.

Kathy is a Cleveland transplant from Southeast Missouri; she moved to Cleveland in search of a new start and married Doug May 2, 1992. She has a masters from the school of hard knocks and a bachelors equivalent from a variety of college classes taken in both Missouri and Ohio. Her background is in business management, bookkeeping, payroll and human resources.

Doug is a John Carroll University graduate with a degree in communications. He worked for Barnes Group, Inc for 14 + years as manager of pricing and contracts. Both were victims of corporate layoff. After many hours of research, entrepreneur seminars, and interviews they decided to look into franchises. August 2005 they signed an agreement with Navis Logistics and invested their life savings into the American dream…their very own business.
