President's Letter June 2010
Greetings!
Congratulations...this is the last time you have to stare at
my mug shot when you read the ISES newsletter!
Another ISES year has come and gone, so here are a few
parting notes from your president...
Our
chapter excelled in 2010. Membership remained high during a challenging
economic year, we produced amazing educational programs, we strengthened
our relationships with other ISES chapters, and our gala was THE EVENT in
the industry last year. So? So, it's time to celebrate our successes and
the reason we are all here...our members! The FREE MEMBERS ONLY MEETING will
take place at AT&T
Park on June 22. You
don't want to miss this event!
Save
the date! Our gala will be at Terra on July 20. Not only is this our
annual fundraiser, but it's also a chance for our members to showcase
their best. Our supportive sponsors pull out all the stops for this one...
amazing food, stimulating entertainment, jaw-dropping décor and a chance
to catch-up with your industry colleagues. How can you possibly afford to
miss this?
If you
didn't do it last year, now is your chance...GET INVOLVED! Tell us what you
want to learn about, get CSEP certified, join a committee. You don't need
to make a huge commitment, but at least let us hear from you so that we
can accomplish what we are here for...to support our members with their professional
development.
Serving as your president for the last year was a privilege.
I am honored that you trusted me to guide us through the year, and I am so
grateful for all of your support throughout the process. Thanks to the
membership for your inspiration. My motivation was a direct result of your
insight, excitement, creativity and energy.
And to the Board-We set the bar high this year. We worked
hard. We reached it. I could not be more proud of us as a collective unit.
Thanks for your effort over the past 12 months, but more importantly, thanks
for your friendship...I truly believe it is the key to our success.
Cheers!
Sara Hunt
ISES-NCC President

June Meeting
Members Only Event - AT&T Park
Please join us for a relaxing day at the ballpark at the members only event on June 22nd. Listen to the state of the ISES-NCC chapter
and meet the new Board of Directors, while enjoying ballpark food and
games. For this year's annual "Thank You to our Members," ISES-NCC will be lending our support to Las Casa de las
Madres. Thirty years ago, La Casa de las Madres opened San Francisco's first
domestic violence shelter for women and their children. The once-quiet
shelter has grown into the city's leading voice for abused women, their
children and teens-educating, promoting awareness and changing the community's
and the media's perceptions about domestic violence and its victims. La Casa de las Madres could not create so many
opportunities for change without the generous support of the community. With your help they will continue to empower domestic violence victims daily to
rediscover their strengths, their potentials and their choices. Please help ISES-NCC support this local charity by donating personal care items such as the following: Toilet
paper, Diapers, Feminine
Hygiene, Baby
Wipes, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Deodorant, Disposables
Razors, Lotions, Socks For more information about the June Members Only event click here. See you on the field! |

May Meeting Recap
A Day in the Wine Country: A Culinary and Wine Experience at the Castle
On
May 18th, ISES-NCC enjoyed their annual wine country trip to the
stunning Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga. As guests arrived, they were greeted by the castle Maiden and Jester,
provided by Casts of Thousands, and were guided to the Sunken Courtyard. Wine from Castello di Amorosa and freshly
baked wood fire pizzas from Villagio were enjoyed by all.
After
networking, guests rotated between two programs that were offered throughout
the castle. In the Il Passito Room,
owner of Left Coast Catering and former Top Chef Contestant, Laurine Wickett,
treated everyone to a cooking demonstration of two different types of gazpacho. They were delicious!! In the Great Hall, Riedel Glassware and
Castello di Amorosa gave a wine tasting class demonstrating how wine should
taste if it's served in the proper glass.
By
the time the classes ended, the sun had emerged for lunch on the Terrace. Villagio had an endless buffet where guests
could enjoy themselves over and over again and One Hope kept the wine glasses
filled. It was a wonderful day at
Castello di Amorosa filled with networking, delicious food, and great wine that
will not be soon forgotten.
ISES - NCC would like to thank the May Event sponsors for
their generous support:
Castello di Amorosa, Villagio Inn Off-Site Catering, Classic
Party Rentals, Associated Entertainment Consultants, JPLS, Cast of Thousands,
Emily Payne Photography, Mosaic Global Transportation
