Aloha NACE Hawaii Chapter Members!

As your chapter president, I need to remind you not to pass up the discounted rate of $995.00 (which ends today 03/31/10) of the NACE Experience 2010 in Austin, TX on July 25-28, 2010. Click here for more info on the conference.

After today the fee for the NACE Experience 2010 jumps to $1095.00.

From past experience, the NACE Experience has given me the education, the networking with NACE members around the USA, and the “New” concepts of event designing, food presentation, and internet knowledge that is worth its weight in gold.

You say you don’t have the cash for it now? There is a 3 month installment payment plan that you can charge to your credit card. Click on the link below and choose on the “installment payment form”; print it out and fill it out; then fax to the phone number listed on the form.

Click here to register for the NACE Experience 2010.

I do hope to see all of you at the NACE Experience 2010 in Austin, July 25-28, 2010!

Warmest Aloha!

Herb Yamamoto
NACE Hawaii Chapter President 2009-2010

Aloha Everyone!

Our NACE Hawaii chapter will be doing another fundraiser in 2010: Tasty Travels, the same program as 2009. Purchase a $10 dining pass and get a 20% discount off food at participating restaurants around the island.

This year, the dining pass will be available for use the entire month of May. Note that some restrictions will apply.

We anticipate having the tickets ready in April to start distributing and selling.

Our goal is to have about 40 restaurants participating in Tasty Travels.

We need ALL members to participate in and help us make this a successful fundraiser.

We need your help to:

  • Secure restaurants around Oahu to participate
  • Sell! Sell! Sell! TICKETS.

Here is a tentative timeline:

  • March 26 – have all restaurants (names, addresses, contact & contact information) reported in. Please send all information to this email: nacehawaii@gmail.com.
  • April 9 – tickets and posters ready for distribution to all members to start selling.
  • May 1-31 – Tasty Travels in effect.

Click here to download the letter that you can provide the restaurants with when asking for their participation.

Thank you for your assistance in making this a success!

Aloha,
Susan O’Donnell
Fundraising Chairperson
