I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe, joyous and prosperous New Year.
 
I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate your professionalism, enthusiasm and inspiration you have shared through this year.
 
Above all, I appreciate the respect, support and friendship that has been forthcoming all year, and look forward to more of the above in 2006.

Previously new members who have attended stated they had benefited enormously from the session and members of their respective chapters will certainly notice a difference in their presentations.

Don't forget, if you haven't booked in for a member success programme training session you must do so within 60 days of joining BNI.

The next session will be held on 12th January at 61 Molle Street, Hobart at 6pm. Start the 2006 BNI year with a training session to maximise your membership. If you haven't attended training for at least two years it's well worth it so book early to avoid disappointment.

Information sessions are still being held to establish core groups for 3 new chapters.

The planned chapters are BNI Wellington representing the Kingborough region, BNI Glenorchy representing the Glenorchy region and BNI Tamar representing the Launceston region.

The next information session details are as follows:

BNI Tamar - 6pm Wednesday 11th January,
The Tupperware Warehouse, Warehouse 3, 19 Dowling Street, Launceston.

December's featured business is Bryce Electrical. Stephen Bryce is the current President of the Clarence chapter and has been a member (this time) since October. Stephen was previously a member of BNI Salamanca a couple of years ago but had to withdraw due to escalating work commitments.
Now his business is thriving he has rejoined BNI to take it to the next level.

Those of you that know him will recognise a hardworking energetic BNI member who has helped start the Clarence chapter and expand it to it s current position.

Well done Stephen !
