Welcome our newest

George Knoop for all your Mortgage and Re-Fi needs
Carl Manies for Commercial Janitorial
John Ames for all wood and metal construction
Our chapter continues to grow and provide top notch services
to our referrals each and every month for the past 11 years!
2003 Off and Running!
We are testing new waters to start off this year, all
existing and new members yearly membership will only be $200.00 with the
option of paying all at once or $100.00 in January and $100.00 in June. With
the economic times we face NPI needs to be there for you in the hard times
as well as the good.
This WILL be the best $200.00 in advertising you will invest
this year!
We would like to welcome back Bonnie Jackman after being
away for about a year and her new printing blueprinting
company. We hope your loyalty to NPI will
pay off - again!
Stay tuned for the social upcoming at the Appeal - Democrat
and of course the Summer Picnic.
Sacramento, CA May 2001
Mid way through the year and we are on
track to beat last years totals for referrals given! great job everyone.
There are some great summer socials
being planned by both NPI and individual chapters including;
Return to the River Cats and Raley
field, wine tours to both Napa and Grass Valley and the annual picnic to be
held this year in a central Sacramento park, any suggestions? McKinley,
Goethe??
All chapters have now finally been
presented with the FREE WEB PAGE presentation by David McCreary and we have
about 70% of all our members -rough drafts- We need an effort to make it equal
for everyone by having your message to go into the site's search engine.
PLEASE make an effort to email or fax your copy by May 31st as that is the
cut off date. At that time what we have is going up, so if you are for
example in financial services and don't have your copy, there are other
members in the chapters that have theirs completed. As always we want to be
fair, hence the deadline notice.
Finally we have made a very successful
transition to Chapter Ambassadors starting in January for our chapters. Once
again these are the people whom go out of their way to make your chapter
profitable for you all by taking the extra steps with the Regional Director
to make it all work.
A special thanks to John, Linda, Mark
and Sue for keeping it all together as we start to expand NPI again!
If you are interested in finding out
what extra benefits the CA has to offer, contact the Regional Director for
chapter openings and responsibilities.
Happy New Year!!!
