IAEE NCC 2008 Holiday Party and Officer Inauguration

What a wonderful night in the city! Wine and Networking at the luxurious Vista Suite in the Hotel Vitale in San Francisco. We enjoyed connecting with new and old colleagues.

Plus had a delicious array of hors d' oeuvres from the Americano Restaurant by Chef Paul Arenstam made with the bounty of fresh ingredients from the local Farmer's market located just across the street at the historic Ferry Building.

We had a great collection of toys that Howard Ferrier hand delivered to the 'San Francisco Fire Fighters Toy Program'. We also recognized our new 2009 Board Officers and recruited some new volunteers! Thanks to everyone who took time out to celebrate.

Annual Baseball Game - Giants vs Astros May 14th

Wed. May 14th, 2008 Annual Giants Game

A GIANT Thank You for those who supported the Chapter and gathered for this memorable event!

The NCC IAEE 3^rd Annual Giants Baseball Event was a night to remember. Not that the Giant’s won the game despite a very valiant try and an eighth inning tie, rather the spectacular night in San Francisco. One of those rare occurrences when the marine layer disappears and the city is hit with a home run of a heat wave! At game time the temperature was in the mid-80’s, the typical jackets, blankets, hats and scarves were left behind as one and all sat comfortably in short sleeves, the way a baseball game was meant to be viewed.
