Coffee,Webinar, Chocolate, Social Media Etiquette & Happy Hour (oh yeah, and IAAP)

Dear chapter members and friends,
Just a quick sneak preview of what will unfold in April 2011 for the Old Town Alexandria Chapter.  But..before I go into all that - We welcome our two newest members!  Pamela Vaughn and Liz Harris!  Good stuff and we're glad to have you with us.

So.. what can you look forward to in April?

• A joint webinar program with Tidewater Chapter - How to setup and deliver a great webinar.   No fee, but donations to help defray costs for pizza and sodas are being accepted.

And we have an AMAZING Administrative Professsionals Week® lined up.. kicking off once again with the DC/MD & VA regional Dunkin Donuts franchises recognizing our celebratory week .. with free coffee coupon on Monday 4/25.  Stay tuned for that link to that offer.  We all know they had a great slogan for us last year.. America runs on Admins that run on Dunkin'.  Love it!

Wednesday, 4/27- Our main event-  6pm at Intelligent Office with our presentation from Ian Gainor, OfficeTeam on Business Etiquette: The New Rules in a Digital Age .  Here's the registration link:

Thursday, 4/28 for IAAP members and invited guests at Artfully Gifts and Chocolate in Old Town Alexandria (not the Del Ray locale).  The invitation to this event will be sent in the next week and YES! We do get to have chocolate and peruse and shop this amazing boutique store with so many cool items, jewelry, candles, paper goods, artworks and of course, wonderful ACKC chocolates.
We will collect tickets at this event  as space is limited.

Friday, 4/29  * Will you come celebrate the end of APW and unwind with admin peers at Union Street Pub?
As a bonus, I'll also be celebrating my birthday and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than chilling  with good friends at the end of a busy,busy week!

More soon!   [And was I right or WHAT about how fast March went!?!]

Administrative Professionals Week- We are celebrating early!

Good morning, chapter members and friends.

It's early Monday morning and I am really thrilled about this week.  For, Tuesday, April 13, 2010 twenty-two members and friends of IAAP have registered for our event. Really!  

We have a wonderful program planned and of course, a great keynote speaker, Doris England, CPS/CAP- our Virginia-West Virginia division president.   Matt Whitaker and his staff at Intelligent Office in Alexandria are hosting our APW event at their superb office space -just off Eisenhower Avenue and Mill Road.  There is plenty of parking and if you are taking Metro- the location is about a 3 block walk from Eisenhower Avenue Station on the Yellow Line.

We can still fit a few more folks- so please register if you are planning on attending-  You can go to this site.  http://otacapw.eventbrite.com/.  This site also has the map and phone for our meeting location. 

Have a great Monday and look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.

I say.. Let's have some fun!- Administrative Professionals Week Celebration

Hope everyone is enjoying some of the Spring weather here in the DC Metro area.  Myself?  Well, I'm a Northern girl and love the cold and snow. However, I do love seeing all the flowers and trees blooming.

One week from tonight we'll be celebrating Administrative Professionals Week with good friends and good food.  We have over fifteen attendees registered already. I'm really looking forward to this event.

Doris England, CPS/CAP is traveling up from Roanoke, Virginia (a little over four hours) to come share her thoughts on the opportunities for leadership in the administrative field.  Matt Whitaker, our host from Intelligent Office will give us an update on his facility and his company's mission in the modern workplace.

If you haven't had a chance to check out a chapter event yet-- this is a great one to check out.  We'll also have our new chapter badges ready for you to pick up.  Yep!.. We'll take pictures for the blog as well. 

I wish all of you a wonderful April and of course, Administrative Professionals Week.

Respectfully,

Kemetia
