MESSAGE
[ FROM THE PRESIDENT ]
Pumpkins, scarecrows, black cats and Autumn
weather! Time to get your cool on with our
October luncheon on the 28th.”Be Great, Be
Remembered...Keys to Successful Networking”.
You don’t want to miss this special event planned
just for you! The “Empty Plate Luncheon” is
October 8th. If your name was drawn to join us
at our table, please be sure to be there or if for
some reason you cannot, please let me know. We
want to have a full supportive table for this event.
Speaking of networking, don’t forget our next
social at Capital Ale House on October 14, 2014.
The time for that social is 5pm - 7 pm. This is a
great time to network and really get to know your
fellow RSN members. Christmas will be whistling
right around the corner, so save the date for our
fabulous Christmas Party on December 9, 2014
at the Hermitage Country Club.
On a more somber note: We recently learned
of the loss of one of our most active members
- Charlie Caprio. He always had a smile and a special greeting for new people. He was a long time
member of RSN and last served as our Educational Committee Chairman. He will be missed!
Blessings - NANCY BOYER, PRESIDENT
