News Briefs The Annual Holiday Banquet was a huge success. Our guest speaker who came in from Kansas City, Barbara McMahon, gave us an update on exciting changes taking place at National as well as an outlook on new technology develops coming soon to provide members with more and better information that will promote the financial planning profession. Barbara is a CFP^® practitioner who is also a volunteer on the FPA Chapter Leaders Resource Council. President Andrew Patai presented Past-President Frank Joy with a plaque for his past service. Frank was president two terms over the last twenty years. Frank Joy has kept the chapter afloat during some hard times and was honored by the Board. October’s Program We neglected to include a report in November’s PNB on the October 25 Double Header. The Annual Tax Update and CFP^® Ethics program was just about the best attended program ever. Lawry’s had to stretch the walls to get us all in. As a portent of things to come, we have asked Lawry’s to give us a larger room for our 2008 programs; we’re going to need it.
