President’s Message

The November PDM was well attended and very informational.  We collected a large amount of donations for the local food pantries as well.  Thank you to our members who generously donated.

 

There is no December PDM but be sure to mark your calendars for the January 19 PDM at Knox’s Silver Valley.  We will hope for good weather and are in for an entertaining presentation.  Please check our next newsletter for additional details on the location, topic and speaker.

 

The next class, Detailed Scheduling and Planning is due to start January 14.  For details or registration contact Bruce Balthazar @ brucegbalthazor@DRS-PCT.com

 

As 2009 ends we look forward to the challenges and opportunities of 2010. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our members; the Board of Directors; and our CPIM Review Class Instructors for success of our chapter. It is with your support and energy that we are able to continually improve our offerings.  We look to you to share your feedback and suggestions on topics and speakers that are of interest to you.   

 

Wishing a Happy Holiday season and hope to see you at the January PDM.
