1. Heads up: you will receive your dues invoice for membership renewal soon. The due date is January 31, but they are mailed in November so your accounting department has the option of a Q4 or Q1 payment. If you would like to renew by credit card, just go to www.saboma.org and click the Online Payment link (please reference the invoice number). We use PayPal to process the transaction, but you do not need to have a PayPal account to make the payment.

2. We've received four nominations for Manager of the Year. Are there any more out there before the Awards Committee begins the judging process?

3. Our holiday cocktail party is set for Wednesday December 6. New location this year is Circa 1900, a lovely Victorian-themed restaurant in Monte Vista. Watch your fax machine, more details are on the way.
