    NOTE: Alexandria Kirian, the CWF 2016 Scholarship winner sent a note to keep us updated on her progress in college:

    Dear Coastal Women’s Forum,

    Hello! How have you all been? I hope you are all staying safe with the recent storm and flooding issues. I wanted to write this email to give you all an update on what I have been up to.

    As of now, I have been attending college for about eight weeks. Craven Community College has a beautiful campus and an exceptional staff that makes me look forward to class. My classes with Craven are Introduction to Computers, Introduction to Chemistry, and Anatomy and Physiology 1. This semester I am also taking Introduction to Theatre online with East Carolina University. My coursework has been large lately but I am learning so much that I will use frequently as a nurse. For example, Anatomy has taught me about medical terminology, tissues, organs, the skeleton and much more which is information I will hold with me throughout my nursing career.

    I have stayed pretty busy between school, work, and the student ambassador program. Over the summer, I was accepted into the Craven Community College ambassador program. As a student ambassador, I volunteer for and represent the college. We participate in many of the student life and community events such as the welcome back fair, the bridge run, and the local Christmas parades. Being a student ambassador has made my transition from high school to college much easier.

    Again, I wanted to thank you all for the great impact you have had on my life. The scholarship I received from The Coastal Women’s Forum relieved a huge stress that my family and I had when dealing with how to pay for college. All of you have helped me to focus more on my studies then how I would pay for my education. I am greatly appreciative, thank you all so much.

    Sincerely,

    Alexandria Kirian

     February, WOW!  Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.   Whether you’re single or coupled up, chances are you know a thing or two  about love and Valentine’s Day. And that is not to discount the other February holidays  like Groundhog Day or President’s Day, but they just don’t hold the same sentiment as Valentine’s Day.

    As president of CWF, I am asking you, what do you love about Coastal Women’s Forum?  For me the answer is easy, I love the people, the relationships and the discussions. Over the years we have had some great speakers, great discussions and I have met some awesome people.

    Whenever I meet someone new at one of the meetings I am intrigued by their story. I want to know how they heard about us. Who are they a guest of?  What do they love to do?  What is their passion?

    I also love the networking opportunities. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t talk to a member, whether in person or on the phone and we share ideas or ask for a referral. Coastal Women’s Forum has given me so many opportunities to promote other members or their businesses through networking. I do love this organization and the members. Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

    Roses are red

    Violets are blue

    Coastal Women’s Forum

    Is the one for you!

    Wendy Graveman of Pinecone Perennials Brings Spring to CWF

    Posted: 01 Feb 2015 01:24 PM PST

    Wendy Graveman - Pinecone Perennials

    The speaker for the February 3 Coastal Women’s Forum dinner meeting will be Wendy Graveman co-owner of Pinecone Perennials in New Bern. Wendy will offer tips to turn brown thumbs green whether they are planting plots or pots. She will also be  offering advice on landscaping with native species that should thrive in our coastal environment.

    Wendy and her husband Rob relocated from New Jersey in 2000 and started their garden center in New Bern from scratch. They have 7 acres of greenhouses at their home in the county and grow all of the plants they sell at Pinecone Perennials. Rob focuses on growing and Wendy uses her artistic eye to manage the retail side of the business.

    This year, Pinecone Perennials will feature a newly added Home & Garden Shop with indoor and outdoor furniture, décor items, and, of course, plants. Right now the shop is bursting with pots of colorful orchids to chase away the winter blues. Wendy notes that she has 1200 orchids at her home and would easily claim the title of “Orchid Lover.”

    You can get a dose of spring by attending the CWF Dinner, Tuesday, February 3 at 6 p.m.  at the Chelsea.

    As I begin my year as President of Coastal Women’s Forum, I like to reflect on the first CWF meeting I attended in 2009 as a guest of my sister-in-law, Carol Jordan. At that time, I was still working full time in Northern Virginia, but my husband and I had bought a home here and we would come down as often as possible. On one visit in October of 2009, Carol asked me if I wanted to go with her to a CWF lunch meeting. Everyone was so inviting and friendly and I left lunch making plans to come back and join CWF the next time we were in town. I don’t remember the program that day, or what I ate for lunch, but I do remember meeting a lot of amazing women; Gayle Albertini, Thea Kincaid along with Carol Jordan all sold me on CWF. It was probably just another meeting to them and I’m sure they don’t remember me, or realize the impression they made on me at that one meeting which has brought me full circle to where I am today.

    My theme for this year is Members, Memberships and More because I believe in the power of our members and the value of a membership to CWF. As members, we have access to women who are powerful, amazing leaders both in the community and in business. We all have stories to tell, ideas to share and smiles that are contagious. As president, I challenge each of you to invite a guest to each meeting as Carol did for me and someday, when one of them is elected as president they will reflect on their first meeting too.

    Our first meeting on August 5th, facilitated by member Chris Meyers Moore, had the Chelsea energized. It was great to see everyone after our summer break and we welcomed many new members and guests. The first lunch meeting, Wednesday, August 20th, should be as equally fun as we rock the Emerald with Speed Networking hosted by member, Valerie Phillips.

    With summer coming to a close, members with children are focused on back to school or off to college, business owners are planning for the holidays and others are travelling to visit family and friends. Whatever it is you are doing, remember to take time for yourself. That was one of the most important messages from our Board that resonated throughout the discussion.

    See you in September! Mark your calendar, bring a friend and join us for our lunch and dinner meetings.
