Happy Holidays everybody! As 2015 comes to a close, I just wanted to touch base with everyone about what is happening with the chapter. We will start off the new year with a regular meeting at ITT on 1/19/2016 at 6:30p where we will be having another AJCC journal club, selecting our T-shirt design, discussing schedule for the new year, and eating some delicious food. Set your calenders for Feb. 16th, 2016 for our 2nd Annual Financial Workshop sponsored by Alliance Financial Group at Cantina Laredo. This is very informative and has sparked members who have attended in the past to really get their finances in order!! You don't want to miss great food, fun and learning. Please remember to bring a friend and be thinking about nominations for next years officer positions. They are all open! As an incentive to be an officer and represent our chapter at NTI, you can get your registration fee reembursed! Let's help the chapter grow so that we can do more exiting events. Have a great holiday season, and be safe. See you in 2016!
