On October 21 The Riviera Woman recorded its first Chat Room discussion. This is a ten-minute video format recorded monthly, with one subject being discussed each time.

The location for the first Chatroom was Beausoleil, high above Monaco, on a dull October day after a long and glorious summer. A comfortable couch beckoned and we took our places in front of the cameras.

From left to right on the couch this month are:

	Deborah D'Alessandro of Esprit Seminars. Deborah runs career workshops for women and features on our advice panel answering questions related to careers and personal development.
	Wendy York joined us earlier this year with a background in teaching and writing, to become co-editor of The Riviera Woman. If this seemed like a soft option at the time it has turned out to be far from that, as the website has grown rapidly over the summer and now demands full-time attention.
	Deborah Ives is a qualified nutritional therapist with her own practice in Biot. She is passionate about all aspects of natural health and also features on our advice panel to answer questions about diet and health.
	Anna Fill is Editor and founder of The Riviera Woman. To her falls the mostly enjoyable task of running the website, with the whole-hearted support of the members of the site to whom we owe so many thanks.
