Cooking and FM - Wed, January 14th Educational Luncheon

Sam the Cooking Guy  

Sam Zien is an everyday guy who has found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of 'chef-speak', he's just a regular guy, using regular words showing how to cook easy, great food.  But did you know that Sam used to be a Facility Manager before he launched his cooking show, became a published author of multiple cook books and won a mere 14 Emmys. 

 

Register now to hear about Sam's adventures in facilities management, cooking, and more! 

 

We'll see you on Wednesday, January 14 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the

Doubletree San Diego - Hotel Circle,

1515 Hotel Circle South, San Diego

 

Click here for more details or register now!  Space is limited for this event.

Tay Academy Needs Gently Used Business Attire

IFMA San Diego's Community Service Committee is collecting business attire for SDYS's TAY Academy for the young people going on interviews.

 

Clean out your closet ... Gentlemen, that suit or sports coat you haven't worn in 5 years, and Ladies, the dress that you no longer like will help a young person "dress for success" at their next interview. Dress shoes, belts, purses and appropriate jewelry can also be used. All sizes are needed.

 

How can you help? Give us your clean, gently used office attire!

 

We will be collecting these items at upcoming February and March Luncheons.  Watch for upcoming details in future newsletters.
