Dear friend,

 

Another two weeks have flown by and it's great to be back with more exciting additions to our memberships, community assemblies and directories. 

 

We are delighted to welcome two new Community Assemblies to Eastern Groups, namely Bedfordshire, the first in the alphabetical list of English counties, and London, our capital and the largest city of England. Our thanks to Victoria Plaistowe for her hard work in helping to bring this assembly together as a Special Advisor for CABI. 

 

We now have 17 Community Assemblies integrated into our network with 53 committed Founding Facilitators and 5 Special Advisors working hard to grow their communities and help others to come together. With John's updates and Zoom meetings sharing information and knowledge between facilitators and members, we are starting to see the benefits of being so well connected. 

 

I was delighted to add three listings to our Trade Directory with two new listings for Southern Community Traders and our first listing for Eastern Community Traders with Petra Carroll, Founding Facilitator of the Community Assembly of London.

 

We love adding members to our Trade Directories because it means our website is starting to work harder for our members. John tells me that every time I add a member's business or service to the directory, the site's frequency shoots up! With 3334 visits in the last 30 days and 6599 page views, we hope this helps to bring in more business in the weeks and months to come.

 

If you know any members (or traders considering becoming a member) who might benefit from a free listing on our Trade Directory, please ask them to get in touch.

 

A warm welcome to 36 new members to CABI in the last two weeks and thanks to John for all the work he is doing to bring people together, liaise with members overseas and help people to raise their frequencies along the way. It's wonderful to see everyone coming together and tremendous thanks to everyone who is helping to spread the word. 

 

My apologies for those of you who were looking out for Chapter 6 of True Love by Samantha Britt Williams last Friday. I was called away and couldn't make the deadline but you will be pleased to know this is now on the blog with Chapter 7 being posted this morning. 

 

I hope you enjoy the latest updates below. If you have any questions, suggestions or content you would like to be posted on the blog, please feel free get in touch.

 

I look forward to catching up again soon.
