"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" These women -- Joanne Cochrane, Carolyn Gray and Marlene Bray-Trewin -- got together this spring to form the Scugog Woman's Networking Breakfast group. It allows local women the opportunity to network, and form business ties. See the story below for details. Women's business network has its roots here in Scugog By Heather McCrae Special to the Star Have you ever needed a certain product or re- quired a special service but didn't know who to call? That's the reason three local women have started a women's network in Scu- gog. Carol Gray, Joanne Co- chrane and Marlene Bray- Trewin initiated the Scu- gog Women's Networking Breakfast last spring. Af- ter starting with 12 mem- bers, there have been up to 23 women out at the early morning meetings. The Scugog Women's Networking Breakfast is geared for women in busi- ness who work out of their homes or at their work- place, Carol says. "We learn who you are and what products or ser- vices you offer. It's also a way of promoting business and retaining the economy in Scugog." The women felt there was a need for a local wom- en's support network. But they wanted to be sure their group isn't in compe- tition with the Scugog Chamber of Commerce or the Durham Home Based Business Association Belonging to a women's netw rking group isn't for- eign to Carol, Joanne or Marlene All three are members of Third Thursday Breakfast Net work, based out of Oshawa, and another one in the Lindsay area the Women in all fields of business are invited to join the local network. Some of the businesses represent- ed already are accounting, real estate, fashion, make- up, natural health care, astrology, financial plan- ning, floral design, chiro- practicand travel. The breakfast meetings, which often include a guest speaker, are held the last Friday of each month from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Winchester Arms on North St. in Port Perry. "Having the meetings at this hour still allows you time to get to work," Joanne said. The three women who initiated the Scugog Wom- en's Networking Break- fast are all involved in their own businesses. While Carol is a fashion co-ordinator for Kay's Closet and Fashion Net- work, Joanne is president of Crystal Dawn Natural Products, a company that offers environmentally- safe household and per- sonal care products. Marlene is a distributor for Crystal Dawn and spe- eal) in natural health products. Since last March, mem- bership has grown. Ideal- ly, the goal is to get a ros- ter of at least 40 women. A membership fee of $15 covers speakers gifts and other operating expenses.
