Happy Labor Day to IAAP members living in the United States.

Thanks for the many responses to our chapter's overwhelmingly successful program in August and the challenge provided by some uninvited guests.  Your suggestions on how to word registrations and door prize drawings are very much appreciated and will be helpful tools as we move forward.

Each day I receive a copy of the SmartBrief on Leadership (go to www.smartbrief.com for more details).

The top story this morning was a blog entry by Scott Eblin in his "Next Level Blog" discussing the situation with the 33 trapped miners in Chile.

If you have not been following this drama, these gentlemen are facing the next several months still being trapped underground while the rescue efforts continue above ground.  When the rescue workers first managed to get a microphone down to where the workers were, deep within the earth, the very first sounds heard were the miners singing the Chilean national anthem.  Simply amazing.

Even though I am, by nature, an early riser, I believe 4:00 am is WAY TOO EARLY to be rising.  And forget about "shining."  Good grief.

Lucky for me I had the foresight to pack up everything last night that I didn't need for the morning.  All that's left is a shower and packing my nightie.

One final sweep through the room to make sure I didn't forget anything.  Bags all zipped and off I go. [more]

2011 EFAM will be here before we know it and our chapter is trying to increase our revenue to be able to afford sending a delegate. 

Last year, our chapter found out about a fundraising program from Honey Baked Ham.  We were able to sell gift certificates just before the holidays and retain 20% of the total sales!  This was an easy, no overhead fundraiser.  The gift certificates were an easy sell because many people were already purchasing from HB Ham for their holiday meal anyway.

Maybe it's because we'll have a few days of high temperatures in the 60s for the first time in months, or because my husband has been teasing me since July 4 that "Summer's gone!", but I've been thinking ahead to cooler weather and many other secular things associated with the year-end. 

Despite substantial pre-planning on my part, things like holiday cards and corporate gifts often end up on the exec's back burner until they're a panic situation.  This year, I've resolved to alleviate the pressure cooker and have holiday card catalogs sorted and marked, and a (long enough) "short" list of economical corporate gift ideas for upper management and close colleagues (about 25-30 people) ready for presenting on October 1.
