Every year when we approach the May meeting, we find it hard to believe that we could already be at the end of the dinner meeting season.  We have had such an interesting variety of topics this year, and we are thankful for all of those who have volunteered their time to speak.

 We have two diverse topics for you at our last meeting.  Before dinner, Wayne Novick is speaking about the elements of bankruptcy.  After dinner, we have Paul Helfrich, who is head of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance.  He will be sharing his challenges and successes in leading the alliance in our area.

 Last month, we heard from Barbara Hayde, who taught us about the Entrepreneur Center, that helps support technology startups.  It sounds like a great way to support economic development in our area, so we encourage participation in this endeavor.

 We would also like to congratulate the Miami Valley Student Chapter on their inaugural season.  Please continue to encourage any students you know to participate and support this group.

 We look forward to seeing at the meeting.
