The CSI Indy Holiday Party will be on Thursday, December 13 at 6 pm at the Willows on Westfield. Thanks again to Pete Baker and his merry band of elves for all their hard work planning this event. Put on your glee!
The 2019 CSI Great Lakes Region Conference will be April 11-13th at The Atheneum Suite Hotel in Greentown, Detroit, Michigan. You can register for the reserved block of rooms prior to March 11 by calling (800) 772-2323 and make reference to Detroit Metro CSI Association. Region Conferences are a chance to learn more about CSI leadership - and they're fun - I bet there's a brewery, baseball, hockey or basketball game downtown that weekend. Ahhhh Detroit - the home of music - MC5, Iggy & The Stooges, Madonna, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger & MoTown. I got a Lovemaster story about Mo Town - remind me to tell you next time I see you.
The CSI Indy Trade Show will be on Thursday, October 3 at the JW Marriott again. Thanks to Brian Detty and his hard working committee - and Joel Young for taking over booth sales and sponsorships. We are considering a new venue for 2020 - if you have ideas we would love your input and service on a committee to find the best location. And thanks to Ken Schmidt for helping me sell booths and sponsorships for the last four years - Ken I miss our Dilly Thirties!
President Vogt wants our chapter to get involved with the Sickle Cell 5K Walk & Run on June 22 at Riverside Park. This is a great cause and our former member celeb Ariel Su is coordinating - let's get out and support them both. We need new CSI Indy Board Members - contact Dave Fryman if you are interested. It would be great to get some of our newer members on the board - always good to have fresh perspectives. Time to recycle old farts like me (can you say Soylent Green?) - and a special thanks to Andrew Huehls for taking my temporary board spot. Amy Herbetz has been working hard to update our chapter website - take a look and give her your feedback.
Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, a Joyous Kwanzaa - or however you celebrate this time of year. Remember - New Year's eve is amateur night so be safe. And start thinking about your New Year's resolution - mine is to become a kinder, gentler, thousand points of light.

The Indianapolis Chapter of CSI is accepting reservations for Table Tops for upcoming Chapter meetings. The list of programs for upcoming Chapter meetings is published in this newsletter, the web site, or contact Program chairman Jack Morgan - morwalsoplad1@gmail.com , if you would like to target a particular meeting, be sure to make your reservation early. We do have a limit of four spaces available for Table Tops in a standard meeting room and 10 if we have a double room.
Table Tops are an opportunity to promote your company, products, or services to all attendees of our regular chapter meeting during the social hour. There is a maximum of 20 minutes for Table Top presentation at a regular Chapter meeting. You have the floor for maximum of five minutes after dinner before the speaker to communicate to the entire group if there are four presenters. If there is a greater demand, the 20 minutes will be divided by the number of presenters and rounded down to the nearest 30 seconds.
The Table Top presentations are FREE, one time, to new members, and cost current Indianapolis Chapter members only $75. Non-members get the same opportunity for $125. A 30 by 60 table with a cover and skit will be included. All proceeds go to support the Chapter. Payment is due at the time of setup.
Another opportunity for a Table Top is during an Education Seminar. The cost is if you combine it with the Chapter meeting and Education Seminar the cost would be $100 for current members and $150 for non-members.
If you would like to schedule a Table Top for a future meeting or seminar, contact:

Merry Christmas to the Indianapolis Chapter of CSI
Christmas began in the heart of God. It is complete only when it reaches the heart of man.
Christmas is the time of year
For being with the one's we love
Sharing so much joy and cheer
What a wonderful feelin'
Watching the one's we love
Having so much fun
I was sittin' by the fire side
Taking a walk through the snow
Listening to a children's choir
Singing songs about Jesus
The blessed way that he came to us
Why can't it remain
All through the year
Each day the same
Heyeah, that's what I wanna hear
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
All the kin folk gather round
The lovely Christmas tree
Hearts are glowing full of joy
Sense the gifts that we're giving
And the love that we're living
Why can't it remain
Oh all through the year
Each day the same
that's what I wanna hear
I'll tell ya
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Why can't it remain
All through the year
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
Listen to me
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Oh it's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Ain't it so
It's truly amazin'
Yeah, that spirit of Christmas
Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
