Letter from the President
Welcome to March Membership Madness!

You might think that March is all about St. Patrick’s Day and green beer, or about that other March Madness extravaganza focused on NCAA college basketball… but at SFPFS, it’s all about the Membership Drive.

We welcome new members all year long, but
from March 1 – June 15, we have special incentives for current members to recruit new members. For every new member you bring in, earn a chance to win every prize in our raffle – prizes like a one-night stay at Nick's Cove and Cottages, dinner for two at Il Fornaio, gift baskets and many others. An additional incentive: bring in a new member before April 15 and earn a free SFPFS event.* We know you can encourage one new member to join us ~ start today!

Are we just greedy? Do we want every food professional in the Bay Area to join the Food Society for the heck of it? Because bigger membership numbers just make us feel good when we go to bed at night? Not exactly! You, our current, active members, all of us, are the lifeblood of SFPFS. When we bring in new members, we rejuvenate ourselves, expand our network and continue to make outstanding programming possible. With your help, we will continue to be the premier resource for culinary professionals in the Bay Area and beyond. We all win!

For more details about the Membership Drive, log onto NING or contact our Membership Chair, Christina Mueller Welter, at muellercme@yahoo.com .

Lastly – please mark your calendars:
April 26: Master Class, “Vanilla” with Nielsen-Massey
May 25: Stirring the Pot, “Wasabi and Soy Sauce: Japanese Ingredients Where You Least Expect Them”

Be sure to check NING and your e-mails for other events like SIGs (Special Interest Groups) and Traveling Tables – there’s always something interesting happening!

Cheers!
Cathy

Letter from the Membership Chair

At the AGM, we learned that every member is part of the Membership Committee as it is often word of mouth that brings new members to the SFPFS. This bears repeating now that the Membership Drive is in full swing. Each and every current member has one friend or associate who can add their expertise and energy to our group and who would enjoy our events. New members can sign up at www.sfpfs.com or by calling the office.

Sign up a new member before April 15 and earn a free SFPFS event

Regional Networking Meetings (RNMs) are a great, no-cost way to introduce new people to our group and are open to friends and associates. Please check NING for announcements about our up-coming East Bay and San Francisco RNMs.

Your active membership supports our group in many ways -- thank you!

* Promotion valid from Monday, March 1 through Tuesday, June 15, 2010. New members must sign-up during the drive dates for the referring member to be entered into the raffle.
