October
is flying by and November is around the corner.
We have been blessed to be very busy in our Chapter and had lots
of events and many more coming up.
Our Canstruction event at the Mall of America was September 27-29.
It was a great success. Photos of the structures have been posted
to our website. www.sdamn.org

19,269 pounds of food and $93.51 in cash were raised at the
event.
We
kicked off our sponsorship drive for next year and appreciate those of
you who sent in information for us to use in the drive.
Hopefully people will still see the value in sponsoring us and
help us to raise funds for 2009.
October
is 15 (months) for 12 (months) membership.
We sent out letters to potential recruits inviting them to attend
a meeting and find out more about SDA.
We are hoping to hear from some and get the opportunity to let
them know about this great value. If
you know of anyone thinking of joining this would be a good time as they
will receive 3 months free. If you need a member packet sent out to
someone please let one of the Board members know.
On
November 20th our speaker at our chapter meeting will be
Cliff Hanson. He will be
presenting information on Identity Theft Insurance. Given our
current economy, theft may become even more of an issue, please join us
to find out more information about how you can protect yourself and how
your company can protect their employees.
The
AIA convention is November 11, 12, 13, and 14th 2008.
We have two events that we will be part of.
We are sponsoring a speaker at one of the seminars on Thursday,
November 13, 2008,10:15 am – 11:45 am - Event 36 - Designing
for a Workforce That Spans Four Generations.
We will be collecting tickets at the door, handing out a brochure
about the speaker and a little about SDA.
We also have been given the use of a booth at the convention to
tell others about SDA and our local Chapter. We
will have someone there during all open exhibit hours.
We
again are blessed to be able to offer the Carol Powers Ernst Scholarship
in 2009. Applications are due December 15, 2008 for EdSymposium 2009 to
be held in
San Francisco
. The winner will be announced at our January Chapter meeting.
Rules and information are posted on our chapter website.
Please send applications to me.
If
you have any questions about any of these items please feel free to
contact me.
