February is fast upon us and it's been a great start to the year. On January 28th we held a very successful Educational luncheon at the beautiful Montage Laguna Beach Resort & Spa where ROI was top of mind.
We were thrilled to present our three charities from our Site Holiday Event with cheques in the amount of $40,620.00 each, in addition to our yearly contribution to the Karen Henderson Memorial Fund.
Site SoCal 2009 Holiday Event & Charity Fundraiser produces record results!
The Site SoCal Chapter Board of Directors was thrilled to announce the following outstanding results at the first Chapter lunch meeting on January 28. Checks were presented to the three designated charities at the lunch and each charity was given the opportunity to say a few words of acknowledgement.

Thank you once again for all the support of the Holiday Event. What a great time we had! We gave away every raffle prize and sold all auction items, silent and live! Actually we sold an extra live auction package thanks to Ted Brady of Emirate Airlines. Having won the Dubai raffle prize which included Emirate tickets, Ted generously gave it back to us to auction off, and helped us raise another $9,500! Final figures from the Holiday Event are anticipated around mid-January.
