Holiday Party

WELCOME, glad you were able to find us.
I gave out printed information at the Holiday Party for the new blog including the web address. If anyone has trouble, just call me and I'll try and help you through.
Mark @ London Auto Body really came through with door prizes from our Associate Members as well as various business in our community. The grand prize from Johnsons Supply, was a NASCAR package for the upcoming Kansas City race. Popoviches from Rainbow Auto Body took that home after Rick from Uncle Dunbars won and couldnt go due to a conflict on the dates. Black Bear Casino accommodated our affair very nicely with good food and service, as well as a nice facility for the event. Some stayed and experienced more of what they had to offer, although I havnt heard that anyone won so big they were closing up their shop.
We need some ideas for upcoming meetings, classes, speakers ect...Is anyone looking for information on anything we could pursue?

BOARD MEETING

The next board meeting will be Tuesday 2/2 @ the Drydock.

January NCBA Meeting

Great turnout at the LeGrand, good way for the organization to start the new year. We had Sue Mageau from Cosgrove Creative come to explain the fast moving world of web pages, and web design. We were looking at starting a web page for the NCBA to keep everyone informed of upcoming events. She was very informative. For those of you that currently have web pages, if you havnt updated in awhile, she would be a great resource to call for help with that. Her email address is http://www.cosgrovecreative.com/ and her phone # 218-391-3867. Having an outdated website is as bad as not having one at all.
Kerry Smith from Kari Toyota in Superior picked up the tab for dinner. Kari Toyota is a relatively new Associate Member of the NCBA, but even before they joined, they were supporting us with great gifts for our holiday partys. They have been providing outstanding service with ordering, delivery, and returns.
Kerry explained the Toyota parts "Auto Parts Bridge" program. This is Toyotas choice for their parts price matching program. There is no cost to the shop, and makes getting better prices and accurate ordering just a few clicks away. If your interested in setting up this program call Kerry @ Kari Toyota # 715-394-8605.
