We’re decorating for Christmas! Our tree is up and decorated. We entertain the whole Haller family on Christmas Eve for dinner, gift exchange, and our fun white elephant event. And, with the light dusting of snow on the ground, “its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”
Today is the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. My mother was born and raised on Oahu and was 8 years old at the time and remembers it very well – from an 8 year old’s perspective.
Although our Monthly Networking Luncheon is usually the 2nd Wednesday of the month, there are a few exceptions and December is one of them! Our luncheon will be on the 3rd Wed (Dec. 16 – next week) this month because our host, Rich Callahan, is on a Disney cruise with his family and returns this weekend.
This will be our Holiday Luncheon and it will be full of fun and networking! You can bring a prize to raffle off. Bring your business cards to network (and for the Spotlight drawing to be on the front cover of the Chamber’s monthly newsletter!). I have some fun things planned!
The menu will be appetizers in the bar area (cash bar available). A chopped salad and choice of 3 entres: Grilled Salmon, Grilled Chicken or Grilled Sirloin. Mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables – and cheese cake for dessert! All for just $25 if you reserve by this Friday. $30 at the door and for Prospective Members (have you noticed that’s my optimistic way of saying ‘nonmembers’??).

We are so fortunate to have local talent to entertain us! Sasha Gerritson heads up an octet called ‘Here Comes Treble’ and I heard them perform at the City Council meeting and was so impressed, I asked them to perform at our dinner! They sang ‘Mr Sandman’ and ‘Java Jive’ and it was amazing!
The Chamber started a Retail Committee this year. The Committee Chair is Linda Hills, owner of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. The Retail Committee sponsored AutumnFest and there are a lot of other projects to be undertaken but we need your input (especially all the merchants and retail stores in Park Ridge!)
Can you take a moment to take a short survey please?

I haven’t written much about the Cell Phones for Soldiers program lately but we’re still collecting your old cell phones.
JoAnn Arnswald at mb Financial Bank has been my single biggest contributor of cell phone with District 64 running a close second!
For every cell phone donated, a 60 minute phone card is sent to a military person overseas. It enables them to call home at no charge. As you can imagine, the need for the free phonecards is not decreasing. Please find all those old cell phones you don’t need, use or want any more and bring them in to the Chamber.
I spent 5 ½ years in the Air Force and though I was stateside the entire time, I did go to military bases where I didn’t know anyone and it was sometimes very lonely. That was back before cell phones, email, phone cards - and long distance was expensive. My heart goes out to all our men and women serving our country – and their families who miss them so lets do what we can to help them stay in touch.
For more information on the program, go to:

With the growing popularity of social networks, companies are running the risk of losing control of their messaging and communications in today's digital age. Many have run into legal complications as a result of this complicated yet powerful communication method.
WSI has invited Lee Plave to conduct a webinar on "Social Networking - Implementing Best Practices and Avoiding Calamity". Lee counsels clients on the application of technology to franchise and distribution systems, including matters such as e-commerce, policies regarding data use and security, cybersquatting and domain name disputes, consumer complaint and social networking services.
If you intend to use social networks to build brand and customer engagement, you must know the best practices to avoid any legal implications.
We invite you to join us for this last webinar for 2009.

We live in a world that is filled with data. Whether you gather it, or you receive data from some other sources, often we find ourselves swimming in numbers with no way to make sense of it.
Do you feel like your boss will not listen to your idea unless you "Prove it" to her?
Do you have only 5 minutes to prove your point to a Board of Directors?
Or do you just need to convince you wife to let you buy a Hummer H1 instead of a Prius?
Picking the right data, understanding what form to present it in, knowing how to deliver bad news in an appropriate manner...etc.
All of this and more is covered in our newest class offering
"Using Data to Communicate"
December 18th 2009 9:00am - 4:30 Class price is $250.00
Dont miss out on this great topic....Just in time to help you present your 2009 Year End figures.
