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.

The meeting area was split into two separate rooms with Mike leading the New Member Development Seminar and David hosting a discussion about Business in the age of the Internet.  Promptly at noon a buffet lunch was presented for all to enjoy. During the lunch a few 'drawings' where held:

Dr. LeMay hosted a $3500 value chiropractic services drawing for a family of 4 to be held in December

David gave away 3 months free Internet hosting

Rory was not done yet, he also won $100 from the summer membership drive and was presented with a check from NPI

Dr. Fletcher won a NPI logo clock for passing the most referrals during the lunch with 9!,

Sue was second with 7! Great jobs from the Sunrise chapter

At the conclusion of lunch a short break was in order before 'swapping rooms' and learning about the other seminar not received earlier that morning.

The event ended at 3:30 with a short survey, some results are as follows:
