PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We had a great meeting last week with Dr. Amber Oliveira from the DePaul School as our guest speaker. Dr. Oliveira gave us an overview of the school's mission to educate children with dyslexia. We learned it is a very common learning difference that affects 1 in 5 students. The DePaul School faculty provide multi-sensory tracking, diagnostic teaching and repetitive techniques to ensure students with dyslexia succeed in the classroom.
We had such an awesome time at our annual Holiday Party! The food was incredible and the dancing was so much fun!
Our speaker this week is Senator Aaron Bean. He'll be hosting his annual "trivia day" for our club, which is always a lot of fun. This will be our last meeting of 2017. I hope you can make it!

LUNCH SPONSOR OPPORTUNITIES
Are you looking for more visibility and branding for your business? Would you like more than just a once-a-year spotlight speech to exhibit at the club meetings? Then check out our new "Lunch Sponsor" opportunities!
This year we're committed to:
- Providing programs that by names or titles are recognizable with consistent draws
- Taking ownership of the lunch buffet by choosing the menu each week
- Designating "discussion focused" tables and selecting topics to spark conversation
- Providing multiples channels of information delivery, rather than just verbal announcements mid-meeting (table flyers)
- Tailoring the meeting to a fun and professional presentation
In conjunction with these efforts, we will begin projecting a PowerPoint weekly from 11:30-12:30 listing the speaker & upcoming functions/events as well as up to 5 (4 + Spotlight) member lunch sponsors in between the various slides. The Spotlight Speaker receives theirs free. You create your slide and send it to us, so it's whatever you want it to be, and it's only $25!
