GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING:

Please note that starting in September, at our first meeting after the golf outing, three procedures will be changing in regards to our monthly meetings. First and foremost, non-members will be charged a higher amount (to be determined) for the monthly meetings. Members will continue to have a $20.00/meeting fee. Secondly, if you have RSVP’d that you will be attending a meeting, you will have until10am, the day of the meeting, to let us know that you will be unable to attend. Otherwise, you will still be charged for the meeting. Lastly, if you show up to a meeting and have not RSVP’d, you will have to do an embarrassing dance to gain entrance to the meeting. Just kidding, but you will be charged a small fee (to be determined) for not RSVP’ing in a timely manner. Fiscal conservatism is of the utmost importance to me and our board to keep our association in a healthy economic state. We hope that you can both understand and appreciate this!

We are looking for an event sponsor for this month’s meeting, if you are interested, please contact me (niaapresident@hotmail.com).  Also, if you are interested in assisting with the check-in table, let us know! It’s a great way to get some promotion and get to know fellow members.

Remember – our very own Frankie Wolsfeld of ServiceMaster Restoration by DSI, aka, Frankie the Chi-Town Hitman, will be wrestling this Saturday, the 28th, to Benefit the Easter Seals (Autism) at the Bureau County Fairgrounds. Doors open at4pm, bell time at5pm. $10/ticket or a family pack of 4 for $25.00!
