The NGH calculated they were spending in excess of $20,000 annually to
mail out those cute little postcards. So from now on, they will be
posting the meeting information online on their website. Please
encourage your colleagues to join our Yahoo Group to be sure they stay
up to date on the latest from our Chapter. We're an all-volunteer
organization and we do our best to update everyone on what's happening.
If you have news to share, please send it to Lauren@...
<mailto:Lauren@...> .



That's it for this month. Mary Lee LaBay will be our February presenter
on Friday, February 8, providing hands-on techniques for using Reverse
Metaphor. We hope you can join us this month and next, and at some of
our member events.



Wishing you a happy and successful New Year!

Warmly,
