NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
This will be the last e-Newsletter before the summer break. Look for your next e-Newsletter in mid September.

This e-News is our summer issue and stands for everything summer is ... LITE! LITE food and drink. LITE clothing ... LITE work schedule etc. Which brings me to the point: I’m keeping this summer’s e-News LITE, in content. It will feature our next big fundraiser for -- Childeren’s Wish Foundation specifically the: KITCHEN and BATH MASTERS, our yearly golf tourney and SAVE- the –DATES for 2009 and 2010

During the first 6 months of my newsletter to you, I featured the executive board member's with Bio’s they kindly submitted to me ... so you had a clear idea of everyone’s background on the Chapter Executive Prairies Provinces Board. In the next six months I would like to feature some tips of our NKBA members. So kindly submit to me TIPS on the following: KITCHEN: recycling concepts, green design concepts, BATHS: spa products and green design concepts.

Again my mind is in a LITE summer mode ... however I will send out more exciting enews about the Golf Tournament, from the Coronado Beach I'll be at and it will hit you several times during the next few months. If you have any constructive comments on how I can improve this enews... do drop me a email: ms@monikainc.ca

Leaders and followers are both following the invisible leader - the big idea, their shared purpose. Don Ward

Opportunities to be a 'Board Buddy' we have coined that term as it reflects the position exactly. As a volunteer, you are able to team up in one of the positions which one of the board members currently have and help execute duties thereby learning the position. Once that postion becomes available you are the perfect position to run for that officers seat. Great opportuities exist when vollenteering on the NKBA board, just ask one of the board members.

Volunteers Needed for Sub-committee
Upcoming Design Trends Tradeshow 2009 in November. Contact Monika at ms@monikainc.ca
