As valet attendants said goodbye to all of you, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride for Spokane and the amazing talent that calls our area home. We believe at the purple turtle that there is a strong current of progressive and innovative people that surround us and on March 29th we saw how alive and well you actually are. It was a tremendous honor to bring a private event to downtown that had you saying, “This does not feel like Spokane”. We love to deliver the “wow” factor and love to put smiles on your faces. As I stood atop my piano and engaged all of you about the talent that resided in the room there was someone very important I forgot to mention in all the frenzy. The spotlight truly belongs on Sara, my business partner, best friend and wife. Her unwavering tenacity and ability to pull all the pieces together while tending to every last detail is unmatched and never ceases to impress me. This event could not have happened without her.
Thank you all for how much you enrich my life and motivate me to greater heights...I am truly grateful.

The Spokane branch of the DAA had its Reveal Party yesterday.  The Purple Turtle had the opportunity to help plan and also got to attend the event.  If you aren’t familiar with the Debt Advisory Alliance, it is a nationwide organization comprised of an alliance of professionals with the common objective of helping people manage their debt, or to recover from or avoid bankruptcy in order to create wealth.  The website explains it best: “DAA members provide debt management solutions to their clients through referrals to, and joint marketing with other industry professionals in their alliance.”  

Sam Ogden, owner of TLG Mortgage Consulting, is spear-heading the Spokane branch of the DAA.  All of us at The Purple Turtle are honored to have TLG as one of our clients and have become good friends with Sam. You can read a little note from him at http://www.tlgmc.com/.  The Purple Turtle is currently building TLG’s new website so be sure to check back soon to experience the full effect and learn more about Sam’s company.
 
Back to the DAA: the event was a huge success.  It was at the Davenport Hotel Tower, and almost all of the Spokane members were able to be there. There were introductions, good food, and great conversation.  There couldn’t be a nicer group of people – how great is it that these individuals take their time and use their talent in the spirit and commitment of helping people achieve financial health?  It was inspiring to be in a room with these professionals.  To find out more about the DAA, check it out at http://www.debtadvisoryalliance.net/.
 

Due to the bad weather, Brad had to cancel his show in Coeur d'Alene this evening.  Apparently, having a piano worth more than your car sitting in the rain is not looked upon too highly...   Sorry for the bad news!   

The Purple Turtle Inc. likes to stay on top of the trends. The trends in marketing, the trends in advertising, but I bet you didn’t know we were ahead of the fashion trends. For the Fall/Winter 2007 Runway season, purple found representation with some of the top designers in the fashion industry. Versace, Gucci, and Pucci (just to name a few) all utilized our color with vigor. Everything from furs, to shoes, bags, and full outfits. Purple was everywere. You didn’t know your Turtle’s were so hip…

The TPT team had the honor of being a part of planning the Grand Opening Party for Riverstone Park. The Riverstone Development has created the most beautiful park, turning an old gravel pit into a luscious picture perfect park, including a man-made lake. The Grand Opening took place on July 19th, marking the official opening of the park, and celebrating the donation of the park to the City of Coeur d’ Alene. The dedication of the park and party that followed went flawlessly. With the park now open, The Purple Turtle and SRM look forward to the bright future of Riverstone.

TPT owners, Brad and Sara Greene were on their way to a photo shoot in Coeur d’ Alene when they came upon a mother duck and 10 of her ducklings trying to find their way across Division St. They knew they were far from where they wanted to be. So they got out of the car, and with a blanket and a lot of patience, guided the ducks up the hill all the way to the Manito Park Pond. Sara was even able to build enough trust with the mother duck to pick the ducklings up over curbs. All the effort was worth it as they watched the family jump into the pond and swim away.
