“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”
Margaret Fuller, journalist, critic, and women’s rights advocate
President’s Message
The dog days of summer are here. That phrase really sums
up summer’s sultry days that encourage you to take a
moment to enjoy the warmth, the blue sky and the sunny
day. I think that our August meeting will allow us to pause
and consider the beautiful valley that we are blessed to live
in.
July was a great month for Women in Business! We had an
exciting speaker from the Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake
City. I encourage you to attend one of the fascinating
exhibits that will be on display this year. It was very
informative to hear how they raise money for those exhibits.
After learning how many dollars are raised for an exhibit our
scholarship goals seem attainable.
Over the past month, the Executive Board has been
reviewing and updating the WIB Bylaws. As we review the
purpose for WIB, I wanted to remind us all of the two main
reasons we are part of this tremendous organization.

Women in Business provides networking and professional
development opportunities and helps to raise funds to
provide scholarships to women who demonstrate financial
need and meet other scholarship criteria. As members of
WIB, my hope is that you will take advantage of the
networking opportunities. If you have an idea for a subject or
speaker for upcoming meetings, please let me know.
Because a great part of our focus is funding for scholarships,
we’d like to remind you to buy extra raffle tickets at every
monthly lunch. Please plan to participate in our annual
auction at the October meeting. Every dollar raised helps us
fund scholarships. Also reaching out, meeting, and
networking with the other members every month will
maximize your experience with Women in Business.
With all of us working toward the same goals not only will you
enjoy your time spent with WIB, we will continue to provide a
benefits the women of our community. LolaJean "LJ" Bolton

Dear Women in Business:
It is time for another fun filled networking year! We have another great schedule of exciting
speakers; we hope you will join us this year. This past year we have had a tremendous amount
of support. Our scholarships were a huge success because of you! Thank you again. Our
meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 11:45 a.m. at various locations.
As you are aware, the mission of the Women in Business Organization is to raise monies for the
educational needs of women. Donations and lunch tickets from its members raise these monies.
When members RSVP and then do not attend the luncheon, Women in Business is forced to
cover the lunch ticket expense. For this reason, "no shows will be billed $12.00" which enables
the organization to give all of its monies to scholarships rather than the cost of the lunch.
Please fill out your renewal application and return to the registration desk at the Women in
Business luncheon or mail to Denise Irwin, C/O University Inn & Conference Center, 5005
Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah 84322 or you may complete the application online. Please make
check payable to WOMEN IN BUSINESS. Thank you.

Teresa
Merrell
Development
Specialist
at
Deseret
Industries
Eleven
years
ago,
Teresa
Merrell
received
a
knock
at
the
door
that
dramatically
changed
her
life;
her
husband
had
been
killed
in
a
fatal
aircraft
accident.
As
she
faced
her
children,
ages
six,
five,
three
and
one,
she
knew
life
would
never
be
the
same
again.
Little
did
she
know
that,
two
months
later,
she
would
become
the
primary
caregiver
to
her
parents
for
the
next
seven
years,
as
her
mother
struggled
with
terminal
cancer
and
as
her
father
suffered
from
a
life-­‐threatening
stroke.
Following
their
passing,
Teresa
felt
compelled
to
pursue
further
education
to
provide
for
her
young
family.
Although
she
received
a
B.S.
in
Business
Management
from
Brigham
Young
University
in
1994,
she
felt
she
needed
to
update
her
skills.
Therefore,
she
enrolled
in
Utah
State
University’s
highest
nationally-­‐ranked
program
and
received
a
Masters
degree
in
Rehabilitation
Counseling.
Prior
to
graduation
in
2012,
Teresa
was
privileged
to
accept
a
position
as
a
Development
Specialist
at
the
Deseret
Industries,
a
non-­‐profit
organization
and
a
division
of
the
Welfare
Services
of
The
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-­‐day
Saints.
The
Deseret
Industries
(DI)
was
established
in
1938,
to
help
people
help
themselves
by
encouraging
independence
through
learning
principles
of
thrift,
work,
giving,
and
sharing.
This
is
a
mission
Teresa
believes
in!
Since
Teresa’s
first
day
with
the
DI,
she
has
been
engaged
in
the
work
of
developing
and
of
transforming
lives
of
individuals
into
more
productive,
more
self-­‐supporting,
and
more
confident
workers.
At
any
given
time,
she
may
be
found
managing
personnel;
providing
direct
client
services
of
vocational
assessment,
career
counseling,
case
management,
resource
development,
work
adjustment
training,
or
job
placement;
providing
consultations
with
local
ecclesiastical
leaders
and
store
operations
staff;
or
coordinating
training
and
management
of
LDS
missionaries
assigned
to
provide
specific
services
to
the
store.
She
reaches
out
to
the
community
to
identify
resources
for
developing
her
associates
and
for
providing
job
placement
opportunities
to
those
prepared
for
successful
employment.
When
not
at
the
DI,
Teresa
enjoys
teaching.
Last
fall,
she
presented
at
the
National
Rehabilitation
Conference
in
Chicago,
and
she
will
be
teaching
masters
level
courses
in
Rehabilitation
Counseling
at
Utah
State
University
this
fall.
However,
Teresa’s
greatest
satisfaction
comes
from
teaching,
spending
time
with,
and
developing
her
four
children-­‐-­‐who
are
now
teenagers!
During
any
given
season,
she
is
found
cheering
for
them
in
softball,
baseball,
soccer,
or
basketball
games.
As
Teresa
embraces
life’s
challenges
and
successes,
she
finds
her
life
is
sweetened
by
them.
Therefore,
she
looks
with
anticipation
to
the
future,
expecting
both
difficulties
and
victories,
knowing
she
will
find
joy
and
treasures
worth
discovering.

7. The Bingham family: (from left) Megan, Hunter, Jason, Stacey,
Gage, Sierra and Lindsey
In the summer of 2006, 6-year-old Sierra Bingham, niece to two of New Dawn’s employees, was diagnosed with
cardiomyopathy. This is a condition where the heart weakens, becomes enlarged, and cannot pump blood
efficiently. She was transported to Packard Children’s Hospital in California, where she was placed on a
transplant list to await a heart. Unless she received a new heart soon, she would die. After a long ordeal, a
heart did become available and Sierra became the beneficiary.
In May 2012, Lindsey, Sierra’s 8-year-old little sister, was diagnosed with the same disease. She was flown to the
same hospital where Sierra had been treated, and the family’s ordeal began again. Lindsey received a new
heart just a few months ago—on Valentine’s Day— and so far is recovering well.
But . . . two heart transplants, the procedures and care leading up to them, and all the medication, testing,
and biopsies that will follow throughout their lives don’t come cheap. Nor will transplants and treatment for the
other three kids, all of whom show early symptoms of the disease and will need new hearts at some point. The
Bingham family is facing monumental health care expenses.
New Dawn Technologies regularly awards community grants to the winners of drawings at our trade shows in
lieu of prizes. It’s an honor to award the Binghams, a local family and a relative of New Dawn employees, with
a Community Grant.
The Binghams were featured on Dateline NBC Wednesday, June 5.
