| “I once read in a book written by a very successful person that in order to be successful, I need to surround myself with mentors. First Tuesday is a dear group to my heart as it allowed me to be connected to the mentors in my life. I met my spiritual counselor, business coach, nutrition coach, and feng shui interior designer through this powerful group of strong and successful women. Their leader, Marcy Cole is such an inspiration and was very encouraging as I started a sister group in the South Bay, Divine Sisterhood.” Rae Hipolito, M.S.,MFT | |
| “For years I tried to put together a circle of women and it did not work out. When I finally made it to a “First Tuesday” gathering, I knew why. Somebody else had already done it for me!! I was moved to tears at my first meeting by the magnificence, beauty, generosity and power of all women gathered. That night as I looked around, I knew I had found my new soul sisters. My heart dances and my soul sings after every meeting. It is so delicious being with you all!” Petra Gallasch, CEO of The Studio – International Film Actors Training Inc. | |
| “The First Tuesdays women’s networking group is truly a phenomenal entity. Headed by Marcy Cole, a Psychotherapist, as well as a master of person-to-person connectivity, the group reflects her warmth, compassion and desire to see women help each other and reach their highest potential. A must-join for women interested in deepening their business and personal contacts and creating real community in what is the otherwise dispersed and sometimes disjointed sprawl of a big city. Fantastic creative and inspirational members abound.” Joanie Wread, Filmmaker | |

| I LOVE FIRST TUESDAY!…and this is why:
First Tuesday has opened my eyes to the power and Grace of true support in a community among women. This group is a true expression of Generosity, Sharing, Giving, and Celebration in action. It is the most loving professional, social and humanitarian organization I have ever participated in or experienced. From the moment you join, you are swept up in the arms of genuine, receptive connection and promotion. I can think of no other organization that fulfills this with such effortless grace and true unconditional love. That’s because all g reat organizations have great leaders – and Marcy is a great leader. So, this is a testimonial for First Tuesday but it is also a testimonial for Marcy Cole…..a living embodiment of her organization’s expressed values. She is a TRUE LIVING EXPRESSION of LOVE in action and TRUE CELEBRATION of other people’s gifts, talents, and offerings. She wants success for you as much as you want success for you…and as a result, she attracts women of substance and heart and generosity. She has the gift for giving and loving sewn like jewels into the fabric of her being. That is why, I am convinced, she shines and sparkles with so much Light, why she is so beloved, and why I feel so blessed to know her. Marcy and all of us women who come together to form First Tuesday LA express the bountiful truth: When you love and give fearlessly, true happiness always finds you and good fortune always graces your path. At First Tuesday, we are gathered together – like bright stars — shining brightly, unafraid, beacons of Hope, Joy, Celebration, Gratitude and Grace. We’d love you to join us…the more BRIGHT stars, the merrier! CHRISTIANE SCHULL: LA, Writer, Speaker, Film Maker |

| First Tuesday has been a life-changing experience for me. It has expanded my horizons on so many levels, both professionally AND personally. All of these women are so phenomenal. I made great business contacts, and friends for life as well! THAT’S the kind of business vision that I am interested in. | |
| “I could write a book on how my life has been enriched through my involvement with First Tuesday. The friendships I have made are profoundly precious to me and I am in awe of all the talent that is gathered each month and the amazing resources we have within our group. I am grateful and honored to be amongst you all” …Carol Pilkington, Business Etiquette, Customer Relations Consultant, www.sendoutcards.com/becauseumatter | |
| First Tuesday is not a cookie cutter women’s organization. Completely unique, with something for the mind, body and spirit. Empowered and successful women of all ages, who connect with their businesses, spirituality, healthful living and philanthropy. All accomplished with fun and great information. Throw in a little shopping and fashion, and this becomes the one group I must be a part of!! Hillary Smith D.C. Innovative Thermal Imaging Los Angeles | |
| “I am so grateful to have found the women of First Tuesday. It is one of the finer assemblies of real talent, heart, courage and business skill I have found in twenty years of networking. I’ve referred to it as the ‘overachievers anonymous’ group because of the consistently bright, passionate, civic-minded women that I met! It is an honor and a privilege to be involved with the group. It gives me bigger dreams, more courage and real support in making our world a better place, and having fun in the process! If you want a place where your best self is reflected back to you by women who celebrate your successes and encourage your achievements…. First Tuesday is a must see, must experience. These women have changed my world and continue to bless me in the real difference they make to those in their community. See you there… Lisa Greenfield, Los Angeles TruthinHand.com | |
| First Tuesday LA has been a true gift to me and many others. I moved to LA and didn’t know a soul. As a recommendation from a friend I hesitantly went to my first meeting. One year later four women from the group threw me a birthday party. I also connected with an amazing healer woman from the group who introduced me to a discipline that has turned my life into a huge growing machine! Thank you to Marcy Cole, Founder of First Tuesday, who has afforded me these fabulous experiences! I adore her and am so grateful to her! She is a loving, special person in my world, and my life in Los Angeles would be vastly different and lonely without her and First Tuesday! Stephanie Radkay, Los Angeles, CA Forex Trader and Mentor | |
| What I love about this group of women is that we are not brought together by our careers or our children, but by our spirits. I came to the group over 10 years ago after a family tragedy. I felt lost and broken, but as I came back each month these powerful women slowly but surely breathed life back into me with their warmth, compassion and laughter. I believe there is nothing on this planet more powerful than a group of women such as this, which has served me in ways too beautiful to measure. Mary Long Writer, Talk Show Host. | |
| I have so deeply appreciated the EXTRAORDINARY, multi-faceted, passionate & generous women in this fabulous group! Each gathering offers a fun-filled & enlightening experience, & the incredible, life-long friendships that I have made will forever be cherished. As a leader of our gorgeous FT Circle of Giving family of 6, my heart has been touched & my life has been enriched in ways that words cannot begin to describe! Lisa Block: Chicago | |
| For me, the group has lead me to more strong, creative and independent women like myself who all have a spiritual core. We are all change agents in our own big or small way. When we come together it is remarkable how every resource is at our fingertips from a needed hug to a job lead to a philanthropic effort that changes lives! WE are a powerful group. I am honor to be a part of group of women who are making a difference and having fun while they do it! Kelly e. Fitzsimmons: Chicago kelly@paint-the-town-red.com | |
| Over the last several years I’ve been involved with First Tuesday I’ve reaped many blessings. First and foremost the wonderful friendships I’ve made and being able to celebrate the successes of the many remarkable women in this group. Secondly, I became affiliated with a spiritual book group out in the suburbs. These women have become friends, but also the books we have read have enriched and changed my life in profound ways. Donna Bliss (Event Coordinator): Chicago | |
| While FT is a wonderful networking group comprised of successful, supportive, engaging women, what really makes it unique is the Circle of Giving. Expanding our circle of friends and business associates is a great thing, but the opportunity to give back to our community and serve something greater than ourselves is truly inspiring. For a woman just arriving in town, or looking to enrich and enlarge her circle of influence and inspiration, FT offers something for everyone. Colleen Mahon, President and Founder, Orchestr8 Business Management Consulting | |
| The First Tuesdays Chicago group has been invaluable to me both in a personal and professional sense. I have met so many incredible, successful, and positive women. I have also been forever changed and touched by the work that I have done with the Circle of Giving. I cant describe the pride that I feel about being able to change a families life.
