Preparing for our 2006-2007 Program Year

Our first meeting of the 2006-2007 program year will be held September 11, 2006. The wonderful Herrington Inn and Spa in Geneva has stepped forward to host us and provide our dinner. Over 100 attendees will be making this a phenomenal event. Our speaker will be Doug Stevenson who will be talking to us about Humor in the Workplace. On a day like 9-11, it's very important that we remind ourselves that even in the direst of circumstances, we can find a place for humor and that it's important for us to try to do so. Please join us for this festive evening filled with great food, a wonderful facility, a terrific speaker and networking opportunities galore.

Awesome International Convention

Delegate Marie Herman CAP attended the International Convention and Education Forum as the Two Rivers Chapter delegate. This fabulous week long event featured entertainment, educational workshops, business sessions, networking and more. It was a terrific opportunity to recognize the international part of our association name with attendees from around the world present. While there, Marie accepted the Avery Dennison Great Results Chapter Achievement Prestige Award on behalf of the chapter along with a check for $3000. We're not sure what we are going to be doing with that check, but we're certain we'll be able to come up with some creative ideas!

Six new members added in July

The Two Rivers Chapter was happy to discover that we have added six new members during the month of July. This looks to be another fabulous year!
