May 2010 NEWSLETTER
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Please note this meeting is free for a guest of a CFA member. For any paid CFA member, you may bring a guest to hear speakers from NEOTEC, Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium and ITAC, International Trade Assistance Center discuss the opportunities they bring to this region’s businesses. This will be an excellent educational opportunity to get some shippers involved in the CFA as well as getting word out to the community to generate new participation in our organization.
As the Annual Golf Outing is approaching we are happy to announce we will be returning to Bunker Hill with a revamped menu. The date is set for August 26th and tee time will be at 11 am this year. This will give golfers plenty of time to finish golf by 4 pm and dinner will start around 4:30 for guests that would like to join us that do not golf. We will have more information as the date gets closer.
Also, please note the location for this meeting will be at the Crowne Plaza.
The meeting will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel-Cleveland Airport 7230 Engle Road Middleburg Heights, OH 44130. A cash bar will be available beginning at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will be served promptly at 6:00 p.m. Reservations must be made no later than Friday, 7, 2010. Please email Joe Werner @ secretary.cfa@gmail.com. The Crowne Plaza does not appreciate it when we have to change our count at the last minute so PLEASE RSVP no later than May 7th. Additionally, if you make a reservation and don’t make the meeting, the CFA (and YOU) are still responsible for the cost of your dinner, so make sure you attend or send someone in your place!
