Sophie Milman, Jazz Vocalist

"The Norah Jones of the actual jazz world–Billboard charts and iTunes will confirm so."

New York Magazine

Milman, a native of Russia, who is fluent in Russian, Hebrew, French and English, was born in the Siberian town of Ufa and moved to the Israeli port city of Haifa when she was seven. At 16, her family moved to Canada and as a teenager she absorbed pop, jazz and gospel, her favorites being Mahalia Jackson, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Nat "King" Cole and, at the top of the list, Stevie Wonder. Her self-titled debut was released in 2004 and followed in 2007 by "Make Someone Happy" (Linus/Koch).  In 2008, the Canadian singer performed around the globe, hitting landmark venues like the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and New York’s Blue Note club, sharing stages with the likes of Chick Corea, Chris Botti and the Manhattan Transfer. Her second album, "Make Someone Happy," won the Juno Award for Jazz Vocal Album of the Year after it topped the iTunes jazz chart in the U.S. and Canada for months and cracked the top 5 on Billboard’s jazz chart.  JazzTimes referred to her as Canada’s hottest young jazz singer. NPR’s Weekend Edition praised her "classic jazz voice that evokes smoky lounges, softly clinking glasses and the cool of the night." DownBeat simply said, "she captivates."  The Los Angeles Times raved, "the sky’s the limit for this exceptional young talent."

Susan and her husband Timothy, who is President of Pronto Progress, a custom software development company, are both involved in one to one coaching with Buffini and Company, and work strictly by referral.

For your information, a preview video and a webcast are available. The webcast is about 75 minutes. Marsha Broadwell’s husband Allen Robinson, owner of First Trust Mortgage Company, was the first person to sign up for the class.

If you know of anyone who might be interested-

 Susan’s facilitator code is KIN-SU-000.

Marsha Broadwell and her family joined us at a Pronto Progress Client Appreciation Party to see the Marlins play on Friday 5/6. Always great to have quality time with friends. –Susan Kingsley

34 of our members and guests enjoyed the lavish surroundings and cuisine provided for us by our generous host Allied Kitchen & Bath. We look forward to growing our attendance and fund raising next year. We raised $800 dollars this time ladies. Yeahhhhhh!

I am off to Las Vegas for the RE/MAX Convention. I plan to come back full of great new technology information that I will be happy to share with my WEC sisters.

We have been offered a limited opportunity for some of our WEC Members to enjoy the Focus Features special movie screening presentation on Thursday, March 17th, 7:30 pm. Tickets are first come, first served, so arrive early. Location is Cinemark Paradise 24, 15601 Sheridan St., Davie, FL.

The movie link is www.focusfeatures.com/jane_eyre

Rated PG-13 Running Time: 120 minutes

The first 20 members who reply to Susan Kingsley’s email invitation will receive a ticket for 2. Please only reply if you are going to be able to attend. The lucky 20 members will be required to pick up their tickets at the March 15th meeting at the Tower Club, or make arrangements with Susan Kingsley or Rose White for their tickets. Those who fail to do so will unfortunately forfeit their tickets. Any extra tickets will be raffled out to attendees at the March WEC annual meeting.

This Focus Features film is the bold new version of the timeless classic Jane Eyre, based on one of the most beloved novels ever. A sexy, Gothic tale of one of the great forbidden romances of all time – filled with danger, seduction and longing that has enthralled readers, but given a modern day spin by the award – winning wunderkind director, Cary Fukunaga.

Our WEC was approached about this special movie screening presentation because the movie is based on a classic novel and the promoter’s target market is local dignitaries, female community leaders as well as book clubs.

We went snowshoeing in Siren, Wisconsin. I took Timothy off the path, into the sloughs. Went hip deep in snow and wet yuck. Glad to have Columbia Titanium hikers on. My feet were warm and toasty. We saw an ermine prancing around. It was too slick for a photo. I took Flat Stacey from St. Louis along. She had fun too. It was Timothy’s 1st time snowshoeing. I told him it is not for the faint of heart. He chuckled when he heard this, then realized I was shooting straight from the hip. He used this phrase when telling his buddies about our trip. We plan to go again this season.

Hello from your WEC Events Team Member Susan.

We now have an Events page for all of the WEC Events, (and member outside activities), such as Member Events, Book Club, Cannon Circles, Workshops, After Hours, etc. Rather than you having to scour the entire site for functions, you can check the Events page for ease in time and convenience.

Monthly meetings are found in the calendar as par usual. Meetings have been posted for the entire year, so please add them to your schedule, as there are a lot of great ideas in the works…..

There is a tab at the top of the webpage named Events. When blog postings are added to the Events page, the Event will be in bold text and underlined, so you can click the named event and see the post. WEC members, if you have an event for the ladies to attend, please email me and I can post it. Jenette does post your events you send her in the newsletter, however this is not on an a ‘la minute basis such as the Events page posts created by yours truly. Jenette will pull the events postings and add to the newsletter for you as well, in case you ever send for me and forget to send to her.

Easy as 1… 2… 3….

This will not affect the rest of the webpage or calendar. It is an addition to what is already offered for you. In addition, at the right hand side margin of the page there is a contents area. Items can be searched this way or at the top right of the page, there is a magnifying glass. You can search by word to find postings. Thanks to Chris Guld, our webmaster, www.geeksontour.com, for her assistance in helping us all.

Another step to show your sisterhood in WEC is appreciated. xo$xo$xo$
