We enjoyed a great turnout at our October Executive Series luncheon program. For those of you who missed it, Jane Suter, Vice President of Transportation, C.H. Robinson, presented an informative program that helped everyone better understand relationships with customers that are sometimes more important than the negotiated rate itself. Jane’s vast knowledge and experience with customer service helped us all gain an edge in our customer interactions. Our final Executive Series luncheon for 2013 will take place November 21st at the Avalon Banquets in Elk Grove Village. Our guest speaker that day will be Virginia Alba-nese, President and CEO of FedEx Customer Critical.

Finally, please mark December 4th on your calendar for the Club’s Annual Holiday Reception. This much anticipat-ed event will be held in the Lobby level Ballroom of the Westin Hotel, located at 70 Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. This is an excellent opportunity for you to network and to entertain your custom-ers and coworkers. The Ballroom has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and a wall of windows offering a great view of the adjacent fountain and adjoining promenade. The hotel is conveniently located near I-355, I-294, I-88 and Route 83. So come early, do your holiday shopping at the Yorktown Mall located next to the hotel, and enjoy our last networking event of the year. The Club is looking for spon-sors for the reception, which would be a great opportunity for you to get your company name out there. All sponsors will be recognized on a sponsor sign at the reception that evening and in the Club’s January newsletter. I look forward to seeing one and all on December 4th.

MeMbership Challenge 2013...looking For a Few good MeMbersAll we ask is that each of our members tries to bring in just One New Member.
That’s all … just One New Member.
It doesn’t take much effort and we will even help you there. Below is an application form you can fax to someone you know that’s not currently a member and encourage them to become one. Better yet … just forward them the newsletter
so they can read first hand what the club has to offer. As a fellow club member you already know the many benefits available to you and a brief note from you is all that’s required. That’s all there is to it.
Thanks for your help in making 2012 another successful membership drive year!
