Wooooooooo, CHAMPIONS!
"When you keynote, pick an item to give away that will cause your chapter members to always think of you" Jim Sando, Education Coordinator for the Champions. The tag to the left...if you scan it...will be something that causes all of you to think of me...which created a flurry of memories of the "year of the Champions" (almost) while I have served as your chapter President. What are the things that I remember when I think of each of you? Here they are by member:
Jim Salem, that friendly smile every week
Patrick O'Kane, what part of his body was to be injured next
Chuck Tipton, "hair on fire"...
Jim McCracken, amortization made simple
Kris Hansberger, "you can slip it"
Angelo Dionisiou, the next time I beat him to a meeting will be the first
Gary Lorge, the impromptu Frank Sinatra SMM...epic!

Randy Clement, the father and son SMM during bring you child to BNI week
Doug Luchansky, the "build your company keynote"

What is the QR Code up there, Allen?
ReplyDeleteThere are two memories that come to my mind over the past year...Rosanne in tears, telling us what a family we were to her while she was fighting her cancer and the time you read the email from Clay to Jenni, telling her how we were a family to him. That's a Champion...not just a referral base, but a family member!
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed to have such kind and caring people in our chapter, as demonstrated by Allen's & Jim's comments. It's my privilege to be a part of this group! :-)
