New Member Lunch - January 28th, 2011

A special thanks to our Membership Chairwoman, Robyn Isom, for planning such an organized and well executed lunch to welcome our new members to the San Francisco Chapter. The luncheon at the Belden Taverna drew industry associates, board members and Facility Managers representing various industries from software, education, health care to government. Everyone at the table was given the spotlight to introduce themselves along with their affiliated companies. The private venue space was perfect for our 25 attendees which allowed for engaging conversations accompanied by good food and attentive service. We hope to see the continued energy and enthusiasm from all participants at upcoming programs and/or events!

2011 Programs Kickoff - Bowling at Presidio Bowl

What better way to kick off the New Year than with fellow IFMA SF chapter members at our annual bowling event in the Presidio's historic bowling alley! As Hospitality Chair for the board, I was pleased to meet some last minute bowling enthusiasts who joined in on the fun. All 22 bowlers teamed up and wore their IFMA paraphernalia - which included baseball caps and pins - proudly. Plenty of food and sugar from our kick-off cake gave us all energy to consistently strike the pins or gutter the ball. It was a great time to burn off the holiday calories and build camaraderie all around.

Thank you to my fellow Education and Co-Chair committees in organizing this fun filled and well attended event!
