Additional information will be coming out later this month with everything you need to know about chapter elections. Can you believe we are three months away from the end of our ISES 2010-2011 year?

March Meeting
Going Big Fast
Although the tough games and torturous season seemed to take forever, when the Giants won the World Series.....the city had to "GO BIG FAST". Come experience the World Series celebrations from the special event industry's point of view. We'll hear several local professionals speak about everything from the planning process, to the logistics, to the vendor collaborations, and even a few too crazy to be true anecdotes. The Parade, the Galas, the Food, the Transportation - The celebrations were more than enough to keep even the most experienced event professional busy and brought big business to many of our friends and fellow colleagues. Learn how you can get in on the action when the Giants bring it back in 2011! Speakers: Stephen Revetria, San Francisco Giants Nikki Rege, Hartmann Studios Lee Gregory, McCalls Catering Gordon Thompson, Cappa & Graham A special thank you to our March sponsors: Palace Hotel, Napa Valley Linens, Pete Rudolfi Music Agency, Orange Photography This month, ISES-NCC will be supporting the GiveLight Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian relief organization, established in Sunnyvale, CA in January 2005 by Dian Alyan. GiveLight is a world recognized crisis relief organization that seeks to create durable orphanages in response to natural disasters and extreme condition (poverty and war). Please support GiveLight by donating your favorite children's books at our March meeting. Books may be new or used and you may include a note about why you enjoyed the book as a child. Books will be donated to local orphanages and foster cares in the Bay Area.
