PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
WOW! September flew by this year! If you blinked, you might have missed it. Hopefully you did not miss out on our great events last month. The highlight of September was our first ever Boys and Girls Club Work Week event. The chapter truly came together to make this event a success, and I foresee this event continuing to grow through community outreach for years to come.
I also wanted to give a special kudos to those who attended the Corenet Joint Networking Event. We have received nothing but positive feedback as a result of the networking opportunities. We are continuing to “Grow Forward” as we gained 19 new members last quarter, and I fully believe it is because of the collaboration through these events.
Looking ahead, our annual Bingo for Bones event will be held on October 12th, Coffee and Credentials collaborates on October 18th, and we will conclude the month with a facility tour for Professional Members only and our “Meet the Committees Social” on October 24th.
We also had 28 members attend World Workplace in Denver last week, and I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with everyone. Stay tuned for more on World Workplace in the November issue!

GTC OF IFMA BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK WEEK
We had an amazing September 18th-22nd when our members came together to support the local Boys and Girls Clubs.
Many volunteers did cleanup work and our teams performed multiple tasks to improve the different facilities. Not only did we spruce up the grounds around the Boys and Girls Club, but we also took part in some upkeep of the interior spaces.
The joy on the faces of the kids when they walked into their new space was hard to beat.
The week was capped off with an ice cream social!
