| President's Message |
Not enough holiday spirit for a party
 I'm feeling a bit sad today because we did not have enough people sign up for the Communicators' Holiday Party, so we have been forced to cancel it. I had such a good time last year, I am really sorry to see what could be its demise. However, something like this does require that a large number of people sign up. That didn't happen. I know this problem of low attendance at events is common to many organizations around town lately.
As I mentioned a few months ago, we are planning a survey, which is just about ready to go, so please expect it in your inbox soon if you are a chapter member. It should only take five minutes to complete. I hope you will take the time to do that, so we know what you want your chapter to be doing.
