Next Meeting - October 6th

Hi Everyone,

What an incredible beginning to a new year. Happy New Year, to those who are celebrating this week! Our last meeting was hosted by Susan Fireside...thanks Susan! We signed new applications and contracts for the new year and reviewed many of our new guidelines. Last week, several of us attended the Make It Better: North Shore Night of Clubbing and we were very pleased to see Mom4Profit represented. It was a fun evening. We also, with a huge applause to Susan Fireside, managed to send out an Ad for Mom4Profit to Make It Better. This ad will be featured in their new magazine Better, set to launch in October. A banner ad will also be shown on their online version. Thanks for everyone who participated!

Next meeting will be hosted by Lilya Sirazi, Lilya Sirazi Designs.

Next Meeting - September 1st

Hi Everyone!

Our next meeting will be hosted by Susan Fireside, Winter and Construction, our resident branding expert. Topic: "Worst logos ever. A fun look at some designs that convey the wrong message. I'm sure that when Arlington Pediatric Center went out to create a brand they did not mean to convey sex. See what happens when good intentions go bad."

Also, we'll be presenting our new Membership contracts and applications, please be sure to bring your check books to complete the registration process and pay 2009-2010 dues. Thank you to everyone who submitted their input, we definitely kept them in mind!
