President's Message - April 2010

The dust has settled, and the results are in - Over 80 Exhibitors and 800 + attendees agree that the 84th I-Day was another rousing success. Despite traffic and construction issues, our annual insurance gathering was packed with near record crowds and many of our exhibitors reported excellent results. A number of first time exhibitors even remarked to me how impressed they were with our I-Day and are already looking to sign on for next year. Kudos to 2010 Chairperson Dennis Lewandowski, and his committees, for another wonderful job in maintaining the great tradition that is Pittsburgh I-Day. We were extremely fortunate to have the benefit of their experience and enthusiasm. This group certainly has done themselves and the Industry of Champions proud. It is impossible to praise them enough for all their hard work.

Now... bring on the summer! And with that comes many more opportunities to enjoy all our Club has to offer.

Our annual summer golf outing at Champion Lakes is just around the corner in June and we already made arrangements to participate in another Skyblast celebration for August 7th including tailgate party and tickets to a Pirates game followed by a concert by George Thorogood, with fireworks capping off the evening.

Also be on the look out for our next Happy Hour event coming to a city establishment near you.

Remember this is your Club. Please let myself, Joyce Chezosky, or any one of our other Directors know if there is something that you would like to see the Club consider in the future or any input that you feel would benefit the Club and its Membership. Directors will be identified at all events with name tags so track them down if you'd like. We welcome your insight.

Enjoy your summer!
