President's Letter Greetings from Chicago!
Person of the Year 2013- what a treat!
Mark Murphy was a very worthy honoree. He shared some great stories
of his many successful careers with us. We needed a strong candidate to
match up with our Member of the Year, Jim Jacobs! It was a full house and
great to see everyone who was able to attend.
We had a fantastic turnout at the LA Foodbank as
our annual volunteer effort continues to grow. Thanks for giving back,
BTC!
