August is the time when we start gearing up for next year at the board office. Please think about getting involved in one of our events for the coming year. We are all sales people and shouldn't be shy about the great skills we can bring to the many committees we have to fill.
We have our BIG event coming up for RPAC, September 20th. Please donate!!!!! Come and BUY!!!! The committee needs more help collecting donations, setting up, pricing items, contacting affiliates and individual offices for donations.
Congratulations to all who made the Presidents Sales Club this year. We will be celebrating and honoring your success at our September 20th event.
Your Board of Directors and board staff have been working hard to streamline our accounting system and office procedures. A copy of our financials for year ending 2010 will be available for membership review at the board office by the end of the month. Thank you all involved for your dedication to the board.
