Open your calendar! 
My President's letter usually highlights a topic that I'd like to share with local PRSA members, but our Fall/Winter 2009 program line-up is so strong, I didn't even try to top it with this month's letter. Please open your calendar and write down these dates. Registration is open for many of the programs (see the details further down in this e-newsletter or visit http://www.prsacleveland.org/content/events.asp). I look forward to seeing you there! And, don't forget to bring an associate to one of these events. Sign up a new member and you'll be entered to win an evening out featuring a performance at PlayhouseSquare, a great meal at the Star restaurant and a night's stay in an Executive Suite at downtown Cleveland's Doubletree Hotel anytime in 2010 (some restrictions may apply).

My compliments to everyone who worked so hard on planning this sensational line-up! And, there's more -- watch for our young professional events, information about national programs you can tap into via inexpensive teleconferencing and make plans to attend PRSA's International Conference in San Diego in November. They've taken some costs out, so the conference is more affordable than in the past.
