Thank you to Central Illinois Chapter for hosting our August Symposium.  We were a small group, but the speakers, venue, food and friendship were outstanding.

Looking forward to going to the National Conference in Salt Lake City, UT.   I am bringing up several questions from our membership regarding CEU cost.  If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.  Put ISMA in the subject line.

We are still collecting Coke codes and Pepsi codes.  The items I receive from these programs are used for raffle gifts at our annual conference in April.

If you travel or know people that travel please save the small toiletries that the hotels give you.    I make small bags and take them to the PADS or homeless shelters.  In the last 2 years we (ISMA) donated over 500 toiletry bags to area shelters.

Next executive memo will be in January.  Please save the date February 15/16 2019  will be our winter business meeting in Bloomington.  Check the website for more details.
