CHAPTER PROMOTES 2019 MEETING IN VEGAS
More than a dozen Chapter members attended the International Code Council's Annual Business Meeting in late October in Richmond, Va.
SN-ICC had a booth in the expo area to promote the Chapter and the 2019 EduCode International conference and expo set for March 11-15 at the Orleans Hotel Conference Center.
Also, the Chapter pulled out the stops to promote next year's ICC ABM, which will be conducted in October at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.

The promotion began with the showing of the "Preview Las Vegas" video, which was produced by the Chapter's Communications Committee, and entertainment by an Elvis impersonator, singing "Viva Las Vegas" during the final dinner at the ABM. Then, President Sam Palmer took the stage in modified mobster attire to invite the dinner-goers to come to the "Preview Las Vegas" dessert mixer after dinner.
SN-ICC encourages all Chapter members to plan to attend this important conference when it comes to Las Vegas next year. Details will be provided in future communications.

SN-ICC SUPPORTS HOLIDAY CHARITY
The Chapter will support the local Marine Toys for Tots campaign this holiday season. The Marine Toys for Tots program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes them to less fortunate children in our community. These toys make a tremendous difference in the lives of the children and families that receive them.
The toys are not only viewed as a simple gift, but also bring joy, happiness and hope to the children in need. Hope is the key, and hope is what the Marine Corps is able to give through the Toys for Tots program. A message of hope to less fortunate children will encourage them to become responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
The Chapter
asks December Chapter Meeting attendees to please bring to the luncheon a new, unwrapped toy, book and/or stocking stuffer for children from infancy to early teens (no plush, stuffed animals for hygiene reasons.)
The items and monetary contributions will be delivered to a local Toys For Tots drop-off location following the luncheon.
Luncheon attendees who contribute new, unwrapped toys will receive one raffle-prize ticket per toy. Also, attendees may make a monetary contribution instead of bringing a toy. The Chapter will give one raffle-prize ticket per $10 contribution.
Two raffle prizes will be awarded at the December luncheon meeting.
