And just to check if folks are reading the email, the first 5 people toemail me with the subject line "I want to hear Jim!" will receive 2 free prize drawing tickets at our upcoming meeting. Visit our website for more info on this great event.
December will once again be our membership drive month. We're looking to round out the chapter with even more talented people in the industry.
