CIBA Newsletter - December 2009

£ PLEASE WELCOME new CIBA Business Members: ECONOW TECH/THE EARTH SMART STORE and DARKSIDE CINEMA!

£ The CIBA HOLIDAY SOCIAL was great fun, despite the out-of-the-way location and parking challenges. People enjoyed a wonderful spicy soup provided by Zia Southwest Cuisine, as well as delicious sweet treats by Ilene Anderton (A&S Accounting) and Kate Lindburg (Animal Crackers) – who could start second careers in the dessert biz! Also, many thanks to everyone who contributed terrific door prizes this year. And let’s not forget to thank Evelyn Hall (First Alternative) for organizing this great event. Pull out those 2010 calendars right now and mark November 17 in red – you won’t want to miss next year’s Holiday Social! (2010 CIBA Membership Meeting calendar below.)
