"Showcase Your Business"

Back by popular demand: WNET members submit for nine slots for 10-minute presentations. First consideration is for those unable to present last summer.

 

2005 - 2006 WNET membership opportunities will resume with a mailing in September 2005. If interested, contact Bonnie at mclaren@cdnet.cod.edu or (630) 942-2600 on Tuesdays with your name, business name, mailing address & e-mail address if you have not received membership mailings in the past, or if your contact information has changed. If you would prefer, you may use the electronic WNET Membership Form & e-mail it. Be certain to follow up with your payment, following directions on the form. (Note that you will not be considered a member until payment is received, so please return your check before the October meeting to get member meeting fee rates. Directions are available on the form.)

The annual membership fee of $40 includes a directory of members and qualifies the member for a reduced meeting fee of $10 for each meeting attended (meeting fee is payable at the door). A special discount is given to those who pay in advance for all the formal meetings Oct. - May -- $60 total instead of $80; with the membership fee, that totals $100 for the whole year (since summer meetings - June, July & August are free). Checks are payable to College of DuPage.

Non-member fees are $20 per meeting (October through May). First-timers pay $10 for a "look" at WNET.

There is no WNET meeting in September.

 

Members' Directory 2005 - 2006

To avoid an increase in the membership fee for 2005-2006, member directories will be distributed in electronic format via e-mail.

Formal meetings are October through May. Summer meetings (June, July and August) are free (however, you bring your own breakfast and/or coffee for summer meetings). A participant RSVP (the "YES" response is especially encouraged!) for any "formal" (Oct. - May) monthly meeting helps us with our planning, but a RSVP is NOT necessary for the summer meetings (June - Aug.). REMEMBER that there is NO September meeting.

 

 

Contact Bonnie at 630-942-2600 or e-mail mclaren@cdnet.cod.edu if you have questions or changes in your contact information. Bonnie is in the office one day per week (Tuesdays) .
