    "I started coming to EBWN sometime last year at the invitation of Christine Noble.  I was immediately made to feel welcome.  We began our evening by introducing the person across from us.  I met Yvonne Ethier from Abbeywood and she told me how she started in business.  It was a real encouragement to me.  I also met Lori Wall that evening because she was seated beside me.  We discovered some similar interests and have become friends.  So in a nutshell, the EBWN is a place to meet new friends, be encouraged in business, and learn from each other.  It is wonderful!"

The cost of membership to join the EBWN is $40.00 per year after January 31st.  A price break of $5.00 is given during the month of December and January to encourage you to join early.  In joining the EBWN a company is allowed to have two representatives for this fee.  The EBWN must be made aware of the names of the two individuals.  Only one of the two individuals will be listed on the EBWN website but both names will show up on the EBWN membership list which is maintained by Susan Fortin-Smith.  The EBWN must be made aware if the names of those individuals change.  If you are an Independent Distributor or Real Estate Agent, or something similar, but working for the same company, the cost of membership is $40.00 per person.  It is deemed that you are an independent business person even though you could be working in collaboration with one another.  The cost of membership if you join after October 1st is $20.00 and that rate is effective for the duration of the year.
