Volunteers - Have you been kicking around the idea of volunteering, but are unsure what to do? Pull aside any of the board members at the next PDM and ask! Drop me a line! It could be as simple as checking people in at a PDM, making a few phone calls, joining a sub committee, or posting an event on your bulletin board at work. Any effort is appreciated!

Hope to see you at the March PDM and good luck on the raffles!
Deb Paton
President, APICS South Shore Chapter
PS...We will be continuing the $100 raffle for all South Shore members drawn at every PDM. So far we have not been able to give it away! Remember, you must be present to win, so what have you got to lose...great meal, great speaker and you could be the one walking away with $100!
