Cynthia D’Amour on Leadership and Life

   With five things about us.

Maddie Grant over at Socialfish tagged me for a round of the “Five things you don’t know about me” game.

• It’s something bloggers do.
• To help build relationships.
• And spread a little link love.

Since she tagged me as Raindrop’s mom, I’m going share three things about me and two about Raindrop.

Here we go…

1. I was almost named one of Ten Outstanding Young Americans.

• Was named an Outstanding Young Michigander in 1998.
• By the Michigan Jr. Chamber of Commerce.
• Lost spot as a TOYA to Jimmy Osmond - or least that was the rumor!

2. Raindrop is learning French.

• Grandpa is teaching her.
• His dogs have all been bilingual.
• Raindrop is on the way.

3. I too am bilingual.

• I can speak beautiful Gibberish.
• My brother and I used to drive our mom nuts with it.
• Did a good job on James showing off my talent tonight.

4. Raindrop was born a Hoosier.

• She was in the system for six months in Indiana.
• No one wanted her. (Can you believe it?)
• Our rescue group picked her up just before becoming a lab dog.

5. I have a secret dream of being a talk show host.

• Am loving the emceeing I’m doing for some clients.
• Having a blast doing the interviews for Chapter Leaders Playground webinars.
• Can you see me the red-headed Oprah of the association world???

Now you know a little more about me and Raindrop.

Now I get to challenge five more people to share five things we don’t know.

Here are my five:

1. David Patt - from Association Executive Management - feel like playing today?
2. Peggy Hoffman - The Decision to Volunteer champion - from Mariner Management & Marketing
3. KiKi L’Italien - Good Morning America star - and a young association professional blogger.
4. Lynn Morton - new social networking whiz for the AAPA - and Social Networking for Association Professionals star
5. Christy Jones - Blogs for AAUW and has a new personal blog - The Washingtonian Outsider.

Looking forward to reading some interesting scoops!

Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you invite your members to be part of the cool club?
