JANUARY MEETING ROCKED!

Melissa Leonard with Gleim was on hand and raffled 4 hour CPE certificates.  The winners are:  Kathy Griffin, Rock Sloan and Gwen Smith.  Kathy actually won THREE certificates and has donated the last one back to the chapter.  So expect a second raffle later this spring.

To the left, Past President Bob Phillips at the dinner buffet.  Pictured at right is the chapter dinner with Bob Phillips, Past President Steve Cohen (MrIMA) and Gwen Smith in the foreground. This was the second meeting at the Egypt Shrine Temple. As usual, the beer was great. Like Goldilocks, we're hoping that at next month's meeting the vegetables will be "just right!"
