Dear Starkey Star’s, Friends, and Employers;
Greetings, just a short note to share our amazing news! We have had a great fall and finally, we are about as busy as we can be. Employers have come back and now ready to hire, and our January classes, both 4 and 8 week, starting January 4 and January 11, 2010 happily are almost filled. Mr. Donald Jardine (30 year veteran Estate Manager joined us in July) and along with our Kristin Parks, have continued to generate new energy and life. Like all of us, it has been a difficult and uncertain year, and I am relieved to experience Starkey International again, as we have for the last 30 years.
I know I have an angel on my shoulder as The Costco Connection article came out in August reaching over 8 million readers, many of whom are just right for the Private Service Profession. You know Starkey recruits quick, bright, educated, hands-on and service smart professionals who are certified in Household Management, have healthy self esteems, and who recognize their value. Thank you Costco! (more…)
We here at Starkey are grateful for wonderful friendships we have with our students and clients. We are truly lucky to be a part of your lives! Starkey is excited to dive into the new year to continue to nurture new and existing relationships. Our next round of classes start on January 4th, 2010 and January 11th, 2010. We have a large variety of classes being offered…a little something for every experience level. If you are a Starkey Graduate, Client, or potential student, please check out our 2010 schedule. It promises to be a fruitful year!

I recently went to the newly released movie featuring the life of Julia Child, Julie & Julia! For those of us who have ever had a dream, and struggled many years to achieve it, it was downright inspirational! I loved it. It’s important not to take one’s self too seriously, but after 30 years in Private Service and now achieving age 60, it’s hard not to take some time on the subject. What I saw in the movie was an ambitious young woman, seeking to find her gift in life. Ultimately she found her calling writing about cooking with the great and very humorous Julia Child as her muse. I decided right then and there that while I have written many texts and manuals in the field of my passion, Household Management and Service, I have not often written from my heart. To that end, I am beginning today to do so. I hope you like what you read, and will respond if you feel inspired to do so! (more…)
It has been very busy in admissions since the CostCo Connection article was published. Our phones are very busy with new students requesting admissions to our four and eight week Household Management Certification Programs both in Denver and at our Washington, DC location. We are very excited to receive our new students, here and abroad. I hope you have a great summer!
Call or email me directly, anytime you have questions about our spectacular programs at 303-832-5510 at Starkey or 303-994-7407 on my cell.
I look forward to the opportunity to be of service.
Donald Jardine
