Message From The Chair
Pamela Vaillancourt
January Message
Hello CSIFT Members,
Balance. Yes, we've all heard the word used for describing our lives. Balancing work, balancing your personal life, and for the Holidays, balancing everything that needs to be done. Of course, we've also heard the statement "losing your balance" and this too is part of life...yet CSIFT wants to help you get on track.
You'll be receiving this Newsletter late enough in December that you may not even have time to read the many great articles in this issue (it's that balance thing again). Do take time to read about January's events - get them on your calendar and get organized for 2011!
There are three events in January that are highlighted in this Newsletter. We are starting our Technical Programs again in January with an event at FONA, our Young Professionals are planning an event at Whirly Ball for all Members to attend, and of course we will have our January dinner meeting...READ MORE... |
