PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS
================
A comment especially directed to those considering attending a Chapter meeting for the first time at Aliperti's: the cost of the meeting includes a buffet dinner and soft drinks. There is a cash bar adjacent to the meeting room. We provide a networking opportunity for over an hour before the speaker commences his presentation. Attendees are expected to have their meal during this period.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF AITP TO ATTEND THIS EVENT!
Alperti's is relatively easy to get to from most areas in central NJ, which is one reason why it was selected in hopes of attracting ITers from that area to our Chapter meetings. I urge that you to take advantage of the networking and educational opportunity we offer at this event.
Frank Kovacs is an established IT presenter and his talks are always most interesting and educational. You really don't want to miss out on his presentation. And please let me know if you will be attending.
If you would like to serve on any of the Chapter committees please contact me at my email address noted above.
Despite the iffy weather, the Chapter's Holiday Party in December at D'Oro's Ristorante was most successful. I only wish more of you could have taken advantage of this subsidized event and enjoyed the food and wine at one of the best restaurants in NJ. And, needless to say, the camaraderie was terrific!
FUTURE MEETINGS
============
We will continue to meet the second Tuesday of each month and will alternate sites between Aliperti's in Clark, NJ and Jim Johnston's Steak House in Roseland, NJ. Below are the meeting topics and sites we have targeted for the rest of the Chapter year. They are tentative and could change:
March 11 - Speaker: George Pace - Johnston's Steak House
