Ads.com Exclusive/ CALINOFF CUFFS the President!!! ...


Stephanie Calinoff & her momElaine -
Calinoff.com  have been serving the Long Island’s residential real estatecommunity for more than 47 years. While being a successful real estate pro, Stephanie's passion is to create one of a kind glass jewelry designs   StephanieCalinoff.com.  Affordably priced, a business  that gives back to the community, love in every piece …  more and more people are saying, 'GET ME A CALINOFF!!!' J  Recently through the Curvy Girl Scoliosis Support Group, Stephanie was consigned to make cuff links for the President & pendants for his daughters.We had our people contact her people , got a hold of the busy Ms. Calinoff and wanted to know ...

How does it feel to have been consigned to make pieces of jewelry for the President & his daughters? 
I am very honored and excited. I wish my dad was here to see this. It’s a little surreal. I never expected this to ever happen. I am very grateful.


Please tell us about the charity that sanctioned you? 
Leah Stoltz was in 6th grade when she was told by her doctor that she was developing a serious lateral curve in her spine, a condition called scoliosis (which affects about 1 in 40 young people, mostly girls). While rarely life-threatening, scoliosis cruelly becomes evident in early adolescence.  Feeling alone and deeply frustrated by her body's betrayal, Leah told her mom she wanted to start her own support group and at age 13 founded Curvy Girls of Long Island. Despite enduring the brace for two and a half years, she required major spine surgery causing her to forgo her favorite activities for one year. Leah has become a spokesperson for the National Scoliosis Foundation and Curvy Girls have been instrumental in the success of fundraising by the local chapter of the Scoliosis Association. Through Curvy Girls, Leah has been able to support and educate other young girls and their parents about living with scoliosis and to instill in them a positive self-image and esteem despite the effects of the condition. It is Leah's hope to help more girls start Curvy Girls groups across the country so that "other girls don't have to feel alone."

Political Rant  ...
Can politicians stop
 giving themselves (the issues) standing ovations after every paragraph of speech? It's annoying & THEY DON'T DESERVE IT!!! What are they so happy about? Second Thought: Despite a couple of good lines, Obama's SOTU speech sounded like a  60 second networking intro & the Republican response, looked like a SNL skit. Watch for a Joe Biden head bobbing one too Final Thought: Don't count on politicians to change the world. Change it yourself. Your hard work and determination has far more to do with your life than any vote for ANY politician!!!

________________________________________

Hello everyone. It's been a BUSY week of networking, HUGE week coming up, this Monday @ Macs, next Monday Westbury Manor ... Fortune 52, Lunch Break, Dealmakers, Snow Flake Social, 2 Paneras, Mama Mia, LIWay Breakfast & LOTS of great events in between. Networking, high search rankings, email marketing, LOTS of good things happening, it should come at no surprise that when you Google IGNITING BUSINESS, Long Island, NY … fills the top spots!!! Let's get to it ...


The Worst Part of Networking & The BEST!!! ...

The Worst Part of Networking ... is the word networking. Great word, but so broadly defined. You have the Verizon & ATT networks, you have (Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In) Social Networking, you have your modem, router/ computer network in your office ... told you it was a great word ... but it does not adequately described what is taking place in the LI business community. Hard working people coming together, looking to make contacts, build relationships, exchange ideas, ignite some business (though they may not phrase it that way, often helping charitable causes in the community ... It's the PEOPLE side of networking! The WARMTH side of networking! The side that Google analytics, Facebook posts & Twitter tweets can't keep statistics on! It’s the BEST side of networking!!! Thanks to all who make it possible!

Beautiful Stuff/ Simple Stuff ...

It was a GREAT time @ The Remembrance Foundation's/ Rides For A Cure Fundraiser. LOTS of great people, LOTS of laughs & we had the opportunity to meet Kimberly Rhodes, the first recipient of a ride to and from her chemotherapy treatments. Kimberly was in great spirits, and we got to talking. She explained how the patients can be in the hospital for 8 hours and how it would 'mean the world' if we could get them DVD & VHS movies. Kimberly’s favorite is The Nutty Professor II, but she'd like more choices

So here's the deal.... we'll be collecting old movies, DVD's or VHS tapes @ Panera events until the end of February. To all our networking friends, if you can collect them - please do … we’ll get them to Kimberly. Wow, such a simple thing to put a smile on someone's face! J J J

Haiti Relief Efforts ...

The outpouring of support from
Long Islander's & America has been overwhelming. Too many wonderful efforts to single anyone out. BUT, we'll say this:

The world loves to pick on America,
but whenever there's  a crisis, it's America that is first in line with aid & support. God Bless the United States of America!!!
