CHAPTER NEWS
President's Letter - March 16, 2009
 At
our February meeting, we mentioned to those who attended
that our membership was significantly low - 50% lower than
it has been, and that we were at a pivotal point in our ISPI
journey. We encouraged people to renew memberships and for
guests to join. For our March 10th session, we asked you to
bring guests and you delivered! 35% of those who attended on
Tuesday night were guests....and we had 9 members sign up
that night!
Both our February session
with Matt MacEachern and our March session with Julie
Hamilton were hits! Those who came provided excellent
feedback and there was quite a buzz both during and after
Tues night's session..[
