February Chapter Meeting  Let's Break the Ice: Member Appreciation Night
Join us on February 29th for a night of networking, prizes, and fun.
In appreciation of our members, we'll gather in a private room at California Pizza Kitchen in Schaumburg (across from Woodfield Mall) on Wednesday, February 29, to really get to know one another. A true networking experience! Gather with your colleagues for an evening of networking and find out what makes your colleagues tick. We will have a container of "ice breaker" questions that participants will select from. What fun facts will you share? What bits of information will you find out about your STC Chicago officers? Come find out. Join us for some fun, laughs, prizes, and good conversation.
Let's mix it up too! Bring one or more of your co-workers. Show them what STC Chicago offers and maybe find out something new about them as well!

Location: California Pizza Kitchen, Schaumburg, IL
Date: Wednesday, 29 February 2012
