With the enthusiastic response to our September kickoff dinner cruise, the pressure is now on the Programs Committee to match the quality of that event. Ben Woelk and Dori Green think they have done exactly that for October:

Speaker: John Kukoly, QMI International (http://www.qmi.com)
Topic: New Developments in ISO (with an emphasis on food safety regulations)
Date: Wednesday, October 17
Place: Golden Ponds Restaurant & Party House (http://www.goldenponds-memories.com)
Time: 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Cost: $10 (coupons apply)

As soon as you arrive (any time after 4:30 pm), sign in and immediately load a plate from the Golden Ponds public and rightfully-famous Pizza and Pasta Buffet. Take that to our meeting room for munching and networking. John’s presentation will start promptly at 6:30 pm. This is a little earlier than usual in order to allow plenty of time for questions and answers.

Even if your work is not directly involved with international quality system standards, everybody who eats …

Last Tuesday night was our first program of the year and what a beautiful night it was! Thank you to all who joined us for a delicious meal and smooth ride down the river on the Harbor Town Belle. I took a few pictures of our travels, so please check out the link below if you would like to see what you missed (that is, if you weren’t able to be there)!

I also want to thank Ben and Dori for arranging for such a great kick-off program. We’re looking forward to the next one, which will be on Wednesday October 17. Information about it can be found on the Programs page. We hope to see you all there!
