Tip of the Month
Don't
tell clients you're the cheapest. Saying that implies you're uncreative,
unprofessional, bad at what you do and only interested in getting your client's money.
Charge what you're worth.

Presidents Letter October 2009
Greetings!
Happy October!
Seriously? Did I just say October? Where has this year gone?
I know we are all busy conjuring up costumes and deciding
what type of face to carve in our pumpkins, so I'll keep this short.
#1. Ask anyone. I don't beg often, but PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE, take 2 minutes to fill out this survey. It's only 10 questions, and you
could win a FREE registration to our next meeting if you complete this by
October 15th! There aren't any right answers...we just really want to
get an idea about how familiar our chapter is with ISES international and the
resources available to us so that we can better help you out. Here's the link...PLEASE?
#2. ISES FIRST! As we mentioned at the last meeting, we
really want to help promote our fellow ISES members who are committed to
elevating our industry standards. Please spread awareness of ISES by adding the
logo to your website or email signature. That's it! It let's people know you
are among the cream of the crop, and it only take a few clicks. And again...you
can win a free meeting if you send Jill an email with your new ISES signature
or a link to your site proudly displaying the ISES logo. Members only...it's one
of your perks! Click here for info on
the program and to download the logo.
#3. That's right...we're bringing IT back. No, we're not
bringing "sexy" back (I mean, come on...we never lost it!). It's the VENDOR
SHOWCASE in January. Click here to find
out how you can take advantage of this great opportunity to showcase your
company! This is always one of our highest attended meetings, so don't miss
out!
1. 2. 3. I
kept it simple.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all at our November 17th
meeting at the new Disney
Family Museum.
Happy Halloween!
Sara Hunt
President, ISES-NCC

ISES-NCC on November 17th at the recently debuted Walt
Disney Family
Museum. The is event is sure to be filled with beneficial networking, fine food and professional development.

volunteers preparing turkeys, pumpkin pies and mashed potatoes to start serving Thanksgiving morning.

canned goods and/or bulk food to the meeting to support this
cause. A small donation this holiday season will make a big difference to
someone in need. Learn more at www.stanthonysf.org.

September Meeting Recap
Entertainment and You: Why You Need it, How to Find It, and How to Produce It.
On Tuesday, September 15th, 2009, ISES-NCC held it's meeting
at the beautiful renovated Fox Theatre in Oakland. Guests spent the morning networking at The
Den while enjoying fabulous music from Laurent Forgo and His Ensemble, magic
tricks from Patrick Martin and having their pictures drawn by Rhonda
Grossman. After the networking hour,
guests were invited into the theatre by a beat box juggler, provided by Cast of Thousands.
Individuals then enjoyed a three course meal from Living Room Events in the Orchestra Pit while Patrick Martin performed and then became the moderator for the panel discussion about Entertainment. Peter
Berliner, founder of Innovative Entertainment, Richard Toscano, Director of Special Events at George P
Johnson,
and Jana Atlas from Atlas International in Foster City were part of our panel of
industry experts in the field of entertainment. They spoke on why we need entertainment, how
to find it and how to produce it. Past
experiences were shared, new ideas were given and the audience left knowing
more about the world of Entertainment.
ISES - NCC would like to thank September Event sponsors for their
generous support: Fox Theatre, Living Room Events, Hartmann Studios, Riverview
Systems, Method 42 Productions, Cast
of Thousands, Laurent Fourgo, Patrick Martin Magic, Rhonda Grossman.
