THE LADIES POWER
WELCOME TO THE JULY ISSUE!
When July 25 arrives, we will be exactly five months until Christmas Day! Our team at TLPL (The Ladies Power Lunch) cannot not wait for the holiday music and festive fun – so our group is hosting Christmas in July –The Lady Boss Crawl – when we travel from location to location to discover amazing local businesses right here in our own backyard. The event includes breakfast and lunch…and even transportation on a luxury, chartered motorcoach.
Don't miss the exciting details in this issue and how you can be a part of this unique experience.
We also take a look back at our “end of season” VIP Party held in May at Limon Rooftop at AC Hotel. What a fun day we had celebrating extraordinary local lady bosses who stepped up in a big way and sponsored our three kick off Ladies Power Luncheons for our inaugural season. The champagne was flowing and the memories were priceless.
As I mentioned in our June premier issue, we are only getting started. Our easy-to-read format and fun content is designed to keep you engaged and informed. Don’t let the small page count fool you, there is a reason for everything we do!

CELEBRATING LADY BOSS BUSINESS OWNERS in Naples
By Tildon Dunn
On May 28, 2024, we welcomed a special group of Lady Boss business owners and professionals to Limon´ Rooftop at the AC Hotel in downtown Naples for a private, VIP Party and luncheon.
Guests in attendance were sponsors at various Ladies Power Lunch events throughout our inaugural season. Champagne was flowing for the afternoon, which also featured a delicious assortment of hot and cold appetizers, numerous charcuterie platters – followed by individual lunch entrees selected by each guest.
A rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” was joyfully sung by the group to our very own Suzy Sarver, CEO of The Ladies Power Lunch in Naples. Sarver was delighted to share this day with our Lady Boss group and exclaimed, “We are in the right place, at the right time. Naples has much to offer local women business owners and I’m excited to bring new programs to the market.”

LADY BOSS CRAWL
The inaugural Lady Boss Crawl is slated for Thursday, July 25 in Naples. A twist on the decades old “Pub Crawl” the bus crawl begins at the AC Hotel in downtown Naples at 9:00 am with kick-off breakfast reception. Attendees will then board a luxury motor-coach and visit five local Lady Bosses at their place of business.
Attendees will shop, network and make new connections with fellow attendees as well as the local business owners. The coach stops include: She Can Love, Elsie in Naples, Southern Sunday, Merrill Lynch at The Mercado and Engle Renu Med Spa. The event continues with a plated lunch at Brio in Waterside shops and a return to the AC Hotel at 2:30 pm.
The Ladies Power Lunch CEO, Suzy Beth Sarver explained- “We have been conducting Lady Boss Crawls in other markets for years. This is a great opportunity to bring together women that wish to connect and network with others in the business landscape of Naples—The program is relaxed and fun and most importantly, it’s supporting women that own or manage a business in Southwest Florida in a somewhat difficult time of year, referred to as off-season”.
Tickets are only $49 per person and include Breakfast, Lunch and round-trip transportation beginning and ending at AC Hotel in downtown Naples. Free swag bags, giveaways and a lot of fun is planned!
