WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER
Here we are rounding the corner to autumn! In Southwest Florida we will soon welcome the return of our northern friends, more fun events, and a little sprinkle of pumpkin spice!
Before we move forward, let’s take a look back at a very busy August 2024, including three big events involving the Lady Bosses at The Ladies Power Lunch:
• Naples Chamber of Commerce “Members Showcase” event at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point.
• Gulf Shore Life Women Visionaries reception at Gallery One (I was fortunate to be included with this fine group of local Lady Bosses).
• And finishing up the month was the Inaugural kick-off for the Embellished Fashion Show, the Bayshore Arts District’s new event raising much needed funds to expand the arts scene here in Naples –and open a new 10,000 sq. ft. studio for creators to gather, work and share their art with the public.
In this September issue, we celebrate those events and also introduce our honorary luncheon Ambassadors: Ciera Garell and Greisy Rodrguez. Both are local lady bosses who have been big cheerleaders for The Ladies Power Lunch. What is an ambassador? For us, it’s an honorary designation for one of the monthly lunches. They represent women in business here in Naples, and are the welcome team for our new and returning attendees to the popular event. Each month we will select a new local lady boss to serve as an ambassador.
We want to thank you for supporting The Ladies Power Lunch. Our programs and events are ready for the new season and we cannot wait to share more with you!
The TLPL Magazine you read now is just the beginning. This little eight pages is small in comparison to my years of publishing magazines around the U.S. – but this one is extra special…and I’m certain you’ll see why.
Thank you for embarking on this journey with me.
Sincerely,
Suzy Beth Sarver

When you support local, we all win!
There are so many ways to get involved right here in your community.
• Join your local Chamber of Commerce
• Attend The Ladies Power Lunch each month
• Support the arts and attend their fundraisers
• Visit local galleries or offer to host an event at their location
• Explore new places of business in Southwest Florida
We encourage all participants with The Ladies Power Lunch to connect locally with our incredible list of Lady Boss Sponsors here each month this season.
Your patronage to their businesses keeps our dollars in Southwest Florida and supports our economy. Many business owners rely on year round business, not just "season".
When you shop and connect at the vendor tables, be sure to grab a business card or contact information and FOLLOW UP.
That visit to a vendor/ sponsor's location after the event means a great deal. Tag the visit with #LadiesPowerLunch and we will share your post!
The fortune is in the follow-up.

NAPLES A M B A SSADORS
Ciera Garrell, a dedicated single mother of four from Naples, Florida, with over 12 years of experience as a skilled hairdresser and business owner. She's passionate about making others feel confident and beautiful, extending her kindness beyond the salon into her community. Driven by her love for God, Ciera finds fulfillment in serving others and spreading positivity. Her commitment to her craft and family exemplifies her strong work ethic and values.
I love The Ladies Power Lunch because it's a space where women uplift each other, share wisdom and leave feeling empowered and inspired. It's all about community and growth.
Since 1999 Greisy Rodriguez has called Naples Florida home, cherishing quality time with her “better half”, their three children and mini goldendoodle, Luna. Greisy is passionate about connecting with amazing people and especially enjoys uplifting fellow lady bosses and entrepreneurs in our community. She embraces her journey and inspiring others to rise by empowering women through leadership, innovation, and professional development.
Together, we shine the light on powerful women and make our community stronger.
