Happy New Year to all our members and friends!

The General Meeting

The general meeting for this month will be held on Tuesday, January 10, 2017 starting at 7 p.m. at Frank and Camille's new showroom location:

Frank and Camille's Keyboard Center
482 Walt Whitman Road (Route 110)
Melville, New York 11747
(631) 385-0606

Please note: Frank and Camille's closes at 8 p.m. The meeting must begin promptly.

This month's technical class will be another in the ongoing series by one of our chapter's own technicians. Paul Keogler's presentation is entitled "Methods of Work.". Paul will address various ways to accomplish a task through the use of organizational, efficient and motivational methods. Many of us who are self-employed are often faced with the need to decide when, where and how to apply our energies and skills to complete the many tasks involved with running a business regardless of its size. While there are many ways to accomplish the same task, it is important to manage resources, (time, money, energy, people, skill set, etc) in order to maximize profit, efficiency, quality, and reach and maintain a comfortable work/life balance.

The Executive Committee can meet for dinner before the meeting at a local restaurant if there is interest. Contact Michael Slavin at (516) 781-8888, or send an email to slavinpiano@aol.com to make arrangements.

Michael Slavin managed to hunt down this photo of a Red October brand piano:

The December meeting was our annual Holiday Party held on Tuesday evening, December 6, 2016 at Tesoro Ristorante in Westbury. Consequently, there are no minutes this month.
