General Meeting – February 18
This month’s General Meeting will be brought to you by The Blade. The speaker for this month is Steve Weathers from the Regional Growth Partnership. This month we will be back at the Eddie Lee’s Restaurant. The time is 6:00pm for networking and 6:45 for dinner. The cost is $25.00 which includes the best prime rib dinner in town (or chicken or salmon). Notice that there will not be a March general meeting.
Home & Garden Show
The 2010 Home & Garden Show is approaching us fast and there are still booths available. As we have been hearing, you can not – not have a booth this year. Keep in mind that we experienced a record attendance last year. There is a new “Cash & Carry” area this year. This area has been set aside and is designed for those who are selling items that the consumers can purchase and carry away with them that day. The booths are smaller (8’ wide x 5’ deep). The cost is only $300 for the weekend. The up-to-date floor plan is in the website.
The Show will have 4’ x 8’ overhead aisle signs this year showing the public the row numbers for booths. Your logo can be prominently displayed on one of these signs for a mere $200.00. Each display covers a 22” x 48” area. There will be one display on each side of the sign. There are only 16 available spots and as of this writing, 5 are spoken for. Call the office for more information.
Seminars
The Lead Classes are filling up very fast. We have set up three more classes for April and May. Remember, we are limited to 25 people per class. The form is on the website or call the office and set it up now. We will be adding classes as the demand calls for it. We will probably not be holding any more classes until the fall. Hopefully you all will be too busy to attend classes anyway.
Scholarships
PRO will again be offering scholarships to qualified exceptionally able high school and college students to provide additional financial assistance to the students. The application is available on the website or call the office to receive one. Remember, there are requirements and they all must be completed. So please read the application thoroughly.
