January Meeting

Wednesday, January 18 is the first 2012 PRAM meeting of the year. As usual, networking begins at 11:45 at Harvey’s.

For our first meeting, we will be installing the 2012 officers, awarding our student scholarship, and announcing the winners of our local chapter’s PRism Awards.

This is a great meeting, without a speaker, to come catch up and network. Student members are especially encouraged to attend.

With the start of another exciting year of PRAM, professional members are reminded that 2012 dues are due. Please feel free to bring your check to tomorrow’s meeting. If you know of anyone who is not a member, please invite them to a meeting and share the benefits of PRAM.
