What a beautiful spring season we are having so far. Unseasonably mild temperatures are making yard work not only bearable but actually enjoyable. Speaking of events out of the ordinary, our special joint meeting with the Advertising Federation is next week!

Please join us on Wednesday, May 25 at Bonefish Grill to enjoy speaker Steve Lance, Emmy Award-winning advertising guru and former Creative Director of NBC. The co-author of The Little Blue Book of Advertising, The Little Blue Book of Marketing and Breakthrough will discuss some of the most memorable campaigns in advertising including Shark Week for the Discovery Channel and The More You Know for NBC.

This special meeting will allow us to network with our industry cousins while enjoying a lunch seminar at Bonefish Grill for only $25. If you took advantage of prepaying for your meals throughout this year, your cost to attend the seminar is only $8! Space is limited because of both chapters sharing the venue, so be sure to email your reservation by May 20 to our programs chair Raemona Seeman (raemona@bloompr.net).

On another note, I would like to thank everyone who filled out the membership survey. We will be sharing the results with membership in the upcoming months as well an updated board strategy. Your input is appreciated.

As always if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
