PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings Everyone!
A special thank you to the Dessert Auction Committee, for doing a wonderful job organizing this fantastic event for us to enjoy. The event turned out spectacular, with beautiful/delicious cakes and many donated silent auction items to bid on. Thank you all for your generous donations!
I look forward to wrapping up the year with you all at our December meeting 12/15, as we spread good cheer to each other as we head off to enjoy the holiday season. I would like to thank Sally Ghormely and Jessica Dreier for arranging our December speaker and reserving the hotel for our meeting, with short notice.
This year we are also having a December joint meeting wtih the ASWA Seattle Chapter, which is being held in Seattle 12/16 5:30pm. It would be delightful, if you would be able to attend both Chapter meetings this December.
Sincerely,
Holly Smith
Chapter President

This year we are fortunate to be able to offer a Becker CPA Review course as an additional scholarship, so generously donated by our Bellevue member and Becker Representative, Robbie Dahl Sullivan. Thanks Robbie!
