REGION 7 NEWSLETTER — DECEMBER 2010 Around the Region - Continued PAGE 4 Port Arthur-Golden Triangle Chapter #377—Pam Washington, President The Port Arthur – Golden Triangle (PA-GT) Chapter 377 is closing out 2010 with a “bang”. We are closing out the financial reports from APC 2010, and would like to thank Beverly Hatcher, APC Chairperson and her committee again for a splendid job. Members of NAWIC (PA-GT) participated in the Motiva Crude Expansion Project fundraiser for prostate cancer awareness on November 30, 2010. NAWIC members distributed flyers to attendees inviting them to attend our NAWIC December monthly recruiting function. December monthly meeting was determined to be a Holiday Social to recruit new members and participate in a community function for the Port Arthur Blue Santa Program. We held the meeting at our regular schedule-meeting place, Dylan’s Bar and Grill with approximately 60 people (women, men, local business owners, city officials etc.) in attendance. Pamela Washington, PA-GT NAWIC President spoke briefly to all attendees regarding the purpose and benefits of NAWIC. The PA-GT NAWIC members distributed NAWIC application packets to all attendees with expectations that women in construction would consider joining the organization and men that were business owners or project directors would encourage women within their organization to join NAWIC. Darleen Moody, Treasurer spoke to attendees regarding the Port Arthur Blue Santa Program sponsored by the police department and collects toys for under privileged children the ages of 2-12 years of age. The members of PA-GT collected an abundance of toys and cash donations for the Blue Santa Program. Darleen Moody dressed in a stunning Blue Santa outfit and accepted a huge cash donation from Performance Contractors for the Blue Santa Program. The night was awesome!!! The NAWIC (PA-GT) members participated in the City of Port Arthur Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 11, 2010. Betty Keith, Past President drove a fine-looking muscle Convertible Camaro and NAWIC members threw out beads and candy to Port Arthur residence that attended the parade. Magnetic stickers with NAWIC logo were placed on the sides of the muscle car and PA-GT NAWIC members wore pink construction hard hats in the parade. Darlene Moody volunteered to develop a NAWIC PA-GT scrapbook. Hopefully, when we see everyone at Region 7 Forum in April 2011 we will bring it for Show-N-Tell. The NAWIC Port Arthur Golden Triangle would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Holiday. Welcome Region 7 New Members! New Member Chapter Recruiter Norma M.

I don’t know about you, but I certainly wasn’t quite sure where 2010 went! Speaking of the New Year, I don’t know about you, but I can always use a “gimme” kind of resolution. So how about resolving to sell at least one (1) raffle ticket! This is an easily attainable goal and comes with the added bonus of putting you one (1) step closer to one of the fabulous raffle prizes we will have at Forum in April. Some of the prizes available are iPods and a Kindle, but there is always the possibility of many, many more! You can’t win if you don’t play! So, get out there and sell! Happy Holidays to all, and best wishes for a prosperous and healthy New Year! Region 7 Membership Committee Submitted by Jennifer Swinney, CBT, CDS, CIT You invited a guest and they showed up to your meeting... now what? Make sure to “roll out the red carpet” for your guests. Everyone wants to feel important and special, and your guests are no different. They will already be a little nervous or unsure about what to expect. Making the night extra special for them will ensure they leave with excitement as to how they were treated, and anxious to join a group of dynamic women. Assign a board member or seasoned member to save a seat for the guest, and welcome them when they arrive. Can you imagine their excitement when they arrive to sign in, and they are told that Betty Jo Member has already arrived and saved them a seat for the evening? Give your guests a different name badge to easily distinguish they are a guest, so the other members in the chapter can be sure to introduce themselves, and greet them. During introductions at your meeting, make sure to recognize the guests, and have the membership applaud to celebrate their attendance. Make it known that you appreciate the fact that they gave up a free evening after work to join you at your meeting. Have informative membership packets available for the guest to take home or to their office to read further about NAWIC. Many times the guests are overwhelmed at the meetings with all the events that our chapters do. Providing information for them at the meeting allows them to take back and review at their leisure, as well as show their coworkers and employers. (Be sure to include upcoming events with dates, times, locations & the committee chair info. They might want to jump right in and get involved!)
