new member they bring in) for a
chance to win each of these
Grand Prize drawings at the
January 2011 Meeting,
but you have to be there to win,
so make your reservations early!
You have as many chances to win

Remember, we prefer doing business
with vendors who are members. When
you need a product or service, give
a member a call first.
