PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE | |
The tax season is just around the corner and I look forward to learning more about the latest tax law updates from our speaker Sam Froio this week. Sam has been with the Internal Revenue Service since 1984 and he is currently a Senior Tax Specialist with the Small Business/Self Employed Division.
I hope you will join us this week and invite others to attend this informative meeting. Our meeting last week was well attended with 93 people in attendance. To ensure that San Jose Country Club has proper seating and prepares a right amount of food for our group, please RSVP to our Sergeant-at-Arms Patrick Heatherington at [email protected].
As I mentioned in my latest message, starting this week, the SBMC members will have the opportunity to learn more about our Officers and Board Members when they read a brand new section in the newsletter "SBMC 2012 Leadership Team". In this issue, we are featuring Jepp Walter, our 1st Vice President. Please continue checking our newsletters to learn more about our Officers as they are scheduled to be featured here on:
Nancy Bennett, 2nd VP March 4
Annie Houghton, 3rd VP March 18
