Last Night's Basic Training Course had a Fabulous Response

Dear Club Members,

We had a great turn out for last night's Basic Training Course! You presented some very smart questions and discussion. I don't know about you... but I was proud of our group and the many talented folks in our program. John Enos is a very busy, knowledgeable, well respected planner, yet he found time to help future EMU Planners and Public administrators with a very thorough and educational presentation, just for us. I am grateful that we have him as a resource. I plan to speak to Dr. Jones about arranging to send John a gift on behalf of PLACE. Furthermore, if you feel inclined... please consider sending him a personal thank you card expressing your gratitude.

Here is the address:

Carlisle/Wortman Associates
Attn: John Enos
605 S. Main

Ann Arbor, MI 48104

We have many more events and I look forward to seeing you at all of them..... in fact, please let me know if you have an idea for a club event or would like to initiate and/or lead in any aspect of PLACE. This is a student club and should be organized and led by students. At this time, your current PLACE officers and I are here to facilitate the club, however this is Erik D. and my last semester. I would like to leave knowing PLACE will continue to be a strong club... involved with the university community but also with the larger community as well. So, I ask you to please consider taking a role in the club or becoming apart of its future this semester... before the summer wisks us away. Working within the club during this Michigan economy can only help you that much more in securing employment, learning as much as you can about planning and making important relationships in and outside of school. This brings me to tell you that we are still in the process of securing our next years PLACE officers. We have had A LOT of interest and several commitments already (4 to be exact). I look forward to announcing who the new 08/09 officers will be...at the next PLACE Meeting February 7th. Please try to attend this next meeting.

Again, thank you for being engaged participants at last nights event. I wish you good luck with your classes and job searches and I'll see you soon!

Enjoy the snow!!!
