Renewing Member: Debbie Ducic

So here is a little about Gutzy Woman, Debbie Ducic…

Debbie Ducic

Debbie Ducic

Debbie Ducic, also known as GutZy Woman, is  eve-olving just as the world is evolving… at warp speed! Just last month, Debbie  turned Expat… leaving a life lived mainly in Colorado, USA, to manifest her 30 year dream of a life “Down Under” as well as a citizen of the world. She and her husband of 30 years, Jozef, sold or gave away everything but 100 sq. yards of their most valued possessions and moved to Australia.  They bought a gently used 4 wheel drive and have been exploring the beautiful beaches, cities and hinterland of New South Wales, ACT and Queensland for the last 8 months. The current trend of “housesitting” has allowed them to be of service to Australian homeowners and their pets while living cheaply and truly experiencing the sites of the country and the flavour of its people.

Debbie created GutZy Women LLC in 2007 as a culmination of her passion for helping women achieve more equality and abundance for themselves and their families by using the power of computers, communication technology and the internet. GutZy Women has eve-olved as well from an education, mentoring and beginner oriented focus to the current  orientation focused on using  digital multi-media, social media marketing, mobile communication technology and authentic, spirit-based, community building strategies to create positive social change.

If you are into social entrepreneurship, heart-based marketing,  BALANCE and SUSTAINABILITY in your life and the universe… but want to have FUN, BEAUTY and ADVENTURE while on the journey…you owe it to yourself to join in the GutZy Vision! COMING SOON!

New Member: Chris Lucas

We welcome into membership, Chris Lucas.

Here is a little about Chris…

So who is Chris Lucas and what does she do?

“To give you an idea of who I am I would say that I am a self driven successful business woman with a passion to be the best at everything I do. I have consulted and worked with hundreds of business owners for almost twenty years supporting them in achieving their business dreams and goals.

Over the years I have won many awards including two Chamber of Commerce Awards last year for “Best Community Organisation/Contribution” and “Employee of the Year” and went on to becoming a finalist in the Business Enterprise Centre of the Year Awards for Australia in 2009. I have won several other awards including educator of the year for Australia, distributor of the year as well as several industry specific awards. For me this reinforces that I know what it takes to succeed and believe I am a great person to have work for and with you in your business.

I love studying and furthering my skills in all areas of business management and growth, and have undertaken many courses to ensure I stay on top of the latest trends and strategies available to be able to share with my clients. Marketing is one of my specialties and I have to admit I absolutely love it. I love assisting my clients with both online and offline marketing strategies that are affordable, simple, effective and easy for them to implement to help them grow their business and create the success they deserve too.

I am quite a generous person and love giving something back as a result last year I created a free Women in Business Network where I could do just that and at the same time help promote some of the most amazing business women I have met. You can find out more about our network at http://WiBConnect.com and I do hope join us and we get to connect with you too.

I would love to say a big congratulations to Hayley as it has been a pleasure supporting and watching Hayley blossom into the fabulous business woman she is today and would also like to say thank you for nominating me as a supporter of the month.

Here’s to your success!”

Chizelle Salter

Hi, I’m Chizelle and I’m the mother to three beautiful girls, one in her early 20′s, a 7 year old and a 3½ year old. I am currently homeschooling the younger children, while studying naturopathy via distance education. One of my main passions is my new business, Pure Bliss TV, where I host my own web tv show. What I love about being hostess is that I get to meet specialists who help others turn their dreams into reality and that is very exciting to me. There is also a community of like-mind people who come together to be inspired, educated and motived to achieve pure bliss in their lives, hence the title Pure Bliss TV. For those of you that are interested Pure Bliss TV has a new episode every Monday morning which features expert advice as well as interviews with specialists ready to transform your life. As I am a new member and I would really love to support the community at Women Can International Inc, I’d like to offer members a special 10% discount on all products in the store which include a range of raw, organic, vegan beauty and health care products as well as a range of superfoods that will rock your world and a flat rate of postage $10 anywhere in Australia. Also, if you would be interested in being interviewed on my tv show and having a chance to showcase your talents please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set up a time for a chat.

Introducing New Member, Sue Crawford

Sue and Andrew Crawford

Sue and Andrew Crawford

Sue Crawford is a Pharmacist and the Manager of the 24 Hour Chemist in Mt Lawley, WA. Sue has been elected as our Vice Chairperson.  Sue shared the following information about her day job:

Beaufort St 24 Hour Chemist is situated in the heart of the trendy Mount Lawley café strip and has provided 24 hour pharmacy service continuously since 1998. With the convenience of parking right at the back door you’ll always be able to talk to one of our professional pharmacists at any hour of any day or night.

You can phone Sue at the Pharmacy…..93287775.

Sue joined them some 8 years ago, first as a night time pharmacist doing the midnight shifts, then 18 months ago as the Pharmacy Manager.

Employing 30 plus full-time and casual staff and never closing, Sue’s a very busy and very organised pharmacist!

Sue is also the mother of seven children: Jessica, Matthew, Joshua, Nathan, Olivia, Alexander and Isabella. Yes, I find it hard to believe that she fits in having all those gorgeous children in her world and working full-time but somehow she manages (probably with a lot of help from husband, Andrew!).

Sue is also very interested in natural health, and has always believed in the principle that the best solution is often a combination of Natural/Herbal plus Pharmaceutical when required.

Passionate about helping people, making a difference, and community–especially young people who face so many more challenges today, Sue is actively involved in community groups and is a new member of Women Can International Inc.

Sue has put her hand up to come on our committee.  Please make Sue welcome to the Women Can International Inc family!

Gain High Tea Invitation 2010

An invitation to join Kath Mazzella for the International Gynae Awareness Day event

The members of Women Can International Inc are formally invited to attend the High Tea at the Hilton Hotel in celebration of International Gynae Awareness Day.

There are going to be some very interesting speakers including Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi, Professor Jenny McCloskey, and ex-brothel madam Mary-Anne Kenworthy.

There are also going to be some live entertainment with a Burlesque and Cabaret Dance Troupe.

There will also be a fashion parade.

It promises to be a wild afternoon of fun for the ladies.  Men are also welcome to attend.  I’d love for us to have a table of WCI girls there to celebrate with Kath.

For those that don’t know, Kath Mazzella OAM is one of our members and is a Gynae and Sexual Awareness campaigner, having survived Vulva cancer herself.  She has a message that is valid for EVERY woman and I’d love for us to show her our support by attending.

The event is at the Hilton Hotel, so will be a great opportunity to dust off your fancy gear and do a little hob knobbing.

I know there was some talk about Maryanne Kenworthy speaking about how to have an orgasm, but I’m not sure if that topic is going to make it past the gatekeepers, but it will be fun to find out.

If you’d like to come with me, please spread the word and let me know ASAP so I can book a table or two?

Congratulations to June Kelly on her new role…

Is this the face of the next world Talk Show Host sensation?Or is June Kelly already pulling her hair out at the thought of sharing a couch with a panel of men on the new Internet TV Show, "What Men Think?"? Read on to find out more...

We have greatness in our midst ladies.  Move aside, because June Kelly is about to take the internet TV community by storm.

Successful in her audition for the role of the only female host on the new Internet TV show “What Men Think” on Loco TV, June is revelling in the opportunity to control a few men on the couch!

No, she won’t be getting the whips and chains out, instead she will be brow beating them with the questions we are hoping you will all want answered and be willing to watch!  While we’re on that, what would you like to know about how a man thinks?

A special invitation is extended to women aged between 25 and 35 years who would like to be in the studio audience for the filming of the episodes on 20 June 2010 between 11:00am and 4:00pm at a studio in Osborne Park.  If you’d like to participate contact June to get the finer details.

June would also like the help of the WCI community in formulating some conversation starting questions…they can be as controversial as you like, but please don’t make her blush!  Just post your questions as a comment on this page and June will be popping by to read regularly.  Let’s give her plenty of fodder for her new endeavour.

Rumour has it that Steve, the Producer, has asked June to dress and act “edgy”.  Now what does an “edgy” woman look like?  I’d love you to leave a comment if you think you know the answer to that one and can give June some guidance.  After all, her first attempts at dressing edgy resulted in her husband banning her from leaving the house dressed like that!  I can’t wait to see the new June unmasked and dangerous.

At the end of the day, it should be some great exposure for June as she pursues her dream of becoming a TV Talk Show Host.  Move over Oprah, cause our June is coming through! Can’t wait to see her in action.  Come along to our Girlfriend Club and find out more on 5 June 2010.  See our events tab for more details about the Girlfriend Club event under the Choices Event tab.

Fundraising cheque presented to Woodvale Senior High School…

I am very excited to announce that we were able to donate $500 to the Shine Young Women’s program at Woodvale Senior High School from the money we raised at our Petticoats & Pearls event in March 2010.

As you can see, Eliza Jane Barnett, one of the inspirational young women from Woodvale Senior High School presented the cheque to Carol Stokes, the Chaplain, on behalf of Women Can International Inc.  Eliza Jane was very influential in helping us get our event up and running, starring in our promotional video and advertising campaign, so it only seemed fitting that she have the joy of making the presentation.

I love that Women Can International Inc is so community focused and influencing our community through the combined efforts of the women connected to us.  Thanks again ladies for all your hard work and to those ladies who connected for the day.  Also to our MANY fabulous sponsors…visit our sponsors and let them know where you heard about them!  They just were amazing!  You all made it a wonderful day and I can’t wait until 2011 when we can run the event again and grow it into something Perth can really look forward to as an annual day out for the ladies.

Just on that note, if you would like to contribute to the next event through serving on the organising committee or donating goods, please pop me an email and I’ll add you to my list which thankfully is already growing!

Some footage of the event coming soon…we’re taking our time to put together a great memory for all who attended.

Just Because We Can Event at Darlington Eastate Winery & Restaurant – 7 June 2010

Chantal Vanderhaeghen asked me to distribute this information to the Women Can International Inc community.  If you are in Perth on 7 June, 2010 this will be a fabulous fundraising event in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation of WA.
