Missouri Monthyly Chapter Report

July 2009- by Donald Summers

Fortunately we have been having some great weather in St. Louis with the exception of a few rain days. Maybe someday the weather man will learn how to forecast the weather.

Not a lot to report on again this month. I am looking at sending out notices to the couple of people who advertise in our newsletter to hopefully renew their ad with us this year.

I know this has not been a good year and we all are feeling the worst of the economic recession. But, we still need to move ahead and be optimistic and reach out and try to get more manufacturer representative, vendors, suppliers, contractors, or other types of business to take an ad out in our newsletter. This is our only means of income at the moment. We need to look deep into ourselves and make contact with someone even if that someone is ourselves and ask them to take an ad out in the newsletter. This is the only means of staying an active chapter and we must stay an active chapter. Also, if anyone has any ideas or if someone is willing to help contact people to see about getting our newsletter out to more people let me know. I can use all of the help I can get.

I look forward to seeing everyone at our first meeting is September.
