TEMECULA – Professional Women’s Roundtable will conduct their quarterly member showcase meeting Thursday, Feb. 4, entitled “Stories from the Heart” in the Grill Room at the Temeku Hills Golf Club. The meeting from 11:15 to 1 p.m. will provide an opportunity for the members to learn more about select members and a networking environment. Members and guests are encouraged to meet for coffee or lunch
Lisa Harris
outside of the meetings. This month’s featured speakers are Lisa Stergulz of A` la carte Marketing Services and Lisa Harris of Enduring Fitness 4U. Stergulz grew up 2 miles south of Detroit and graduated from Michigan State University with a Communications degree. She moved to Chicago to pursue an acting career while working at an advertising agency. It wasn’t until she worked on a television show
that she found her real passion was working behind the scenes to get things done. Stergulz and her husband Rich moved into their home in Murrieta in 2002. Working from home, she didn’t venture out to see what a wonderful community she lived in. Stergulz became a marketing manager at a solar company in 2010. Through that position she was able to get out in the community and see all the great things that were being done here by so many people. After five years, Lisa decided to start her marketing business, A’ la carte Marketing Services. She focuses on event planning, marketing plans and appreciation marketing and started a free marketing group, ‘Thinking Caps’ to help small-business owners brainstorm new ways to market their business. Her latest endeavor was to start a bimonthly farmer/artisan market in historic Murrieta, Harvest Moon Markets. Stergulz’s favorite things are animals, art, all things Italian, travel, history and movies. Harris busy life as wife, mother and successful registered dietitian
took an unexpected detour in 1995. Diagnosed with a chronic muscle-weakening disease, she opted for major surgery to rein in her condition and vowed not to let it define or limit her. A few years later, a visit with her 80-year- old mother sparked a passion that would bring these two events together in a new life purpose. She went back to school at age 59 to pursue a second career as a fitness professional, and opened her business, Enduring Fitness 4U in 2014, to help folks over age 50 live their lives with strength, dignity and independence. Harris holds a B.S. in Dietetics from UC Davis and a Masters in Foods and Nutrition from California State Polytechnic University. She earned a Certificate in Freelance Writing and a Certificate in Exercise Science/Fitness Instructor from UC San Diego. She’s a registered dietitian with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and a Certified Personal Trainer, with a specialty in senior fitness. She is a certified Geri-Fit licensee and instructor, and Silver Sneakers instructor. Her business, Enduring
Fitness 4U, was a first prize winner in the 2015 Inland Empire Small Business Competition and first prize winner in the Inland Empire Women’s Business Center, It’s Your Time competition, 2015. RSVP is a must according to PWR Spokeswoman Annette LaRocque. The cost to attend the luncheon meeting is $20 for members and $25 for guests. PWR meets the first Thursday of every month. Professional woman is invited to PWR for its monthly lunch meeting. Registration begins at 11:15 a.m. at The Grill Room, 41687 Temeku Drive, Temecula (located at the Temeku Hills Golf Club).
