Nominations for 2014-15 Chapter Board
Its never too early to start looking at nominations for next years board. If this is an area that you would like to participate in please let me know. I would like to encourage at least one past leader to work with me in identifying candidates for future board positions and will reach out to you as well. If youd like to be considered for leadership or have questions regarding what this involves let me know and we can discuss it. IAAP is a place where you can safely step into leadership at a number of different levels. New Venue We have been given an opportunity to relocate to a new venue that may result in an opportunity to lower our monthly meeting fees to our members and visitors alike. With all the increases that our members have experienced this coming year it would be nice to offer this. The new venue has built in screen and can easily accommodate up to 60 people. I will reveal the location at the next meeting and respond to any questions at that time. As an added plus there are at least three fairly large organizations nearby that may yield additional visitors that could become future members. Spooktacular Bunco Friday, October 18, 2013 If Bunco is your game, save the date and help support fellow chapter, Valencia Orange County at their Spooktacular Bunco game on Friday, October 18, 2013.
