The Prez Sez...
This first Prez Sez is what should have appeared in the October newsletter:

I went to an I.S.E.S. (International Society of Event Specialists) meeting in Bellevue last month. They are very similar to INPRO only much more expensive. Meetings last from 5:30 to 8:30. The business portion of the meeting lasted about 10 minutes, only two people spoke. They didn't introduce guests or ask for announcements. Dinner was $35 for members ($55 if you don't RSVP) and $40 for non-members. I had a glass of wine, it was $11 with the tip, which if course was automatically added. There were about 25 people at the meeting.

The moral of this story is that INPRO is a great value. So when you receive your invoice from Joanie, please pay it promptly. If you don't well, we'll just have to call and harass you.

November's Article:
As you all know the meeting on November 10 is at the Lincoln Center. I encourage all of you to come see it. It is a beautiful facility. Shirley from Charley's Catering will be providing dinner for us.

I would like to thank Erin with Longhorn BBQ for stepping in at the last minute and hosting the October meeting.

In order to be in the roster for next year you must pay your dues by December 1, 2008, so please take care of that ASAP.

If you have friends that are interested in joining INPRO bring them to the November meeting. If they join now they will be in the INPRO Roster for 2009.

We will be assigning booths for the INPRO Bridal Fair at the November meeting. In order to be eligible for the booth drawing you must pay for your booth sometime before we hold the drawing.

I hope you all had a great Halloween. I look forward to seeing you on Monday.
