 President's Message
Special thanks to Lola's Healthy Pet Cafe for hosting our January meeting. Please be sure to stop by and pay them a visit at Five Points if you didn't attend. Our lunch was at Bona Italian Restaurant. Probably the largest turnout ever. The owner, Attilio, sent us a nice thank you!
It is that time again for most of us, Membership renewals. Our "year" runs with the calendar year. If you joined in the last quarter of 2011, you are paid for all of 2012. Otherwise, everyone else will be getting invoices soon. To save time, please click here. The directory ad rates and membership fees have not changed from last year. We would really appreciate everyone taking the time to completely fill out the application to update our records. You can bring to the meetings or lunches or mail back with a check and business card. Still hope to have PayPal setup for online payments in the future. Deadline to be included in our annual directory is March 31st. It will be printed in April, 10,000 copies, and distributed door to door throughout Wilton Manors in May. With a starting price of only $75 per year to be included, how can you possibly pass up this opportunity!
There is still time to submit your cover design for our annual directory. Deadline of March 1rst to be considered. |

Thank you to Lotus Chinese Kitchen as the location for our September networking lunch. Please mark down the fourth Thursday as WMBA lunch from January through October. We meet around noon and try to be out by 1pm. You can always check our website for that month's location.

September was a unique meeting in Wilton's Manor Doggie Day Care & Grooming. Owners Alan Aghazadian and Josh Meneses have quite a pet place going on. The food and drink were plentiful yet again. Visiting dogs very entertaining. Even Hope Gallegos brought her dog and sat in the play area with them. If you missed this meeting, please stop by for a tour/visit. You will be impressed to see what is new on Dixie Highway in Wilton Manors. |
