iask Fall-Winter 2009 Preview–New Website Launch 9.1.09

Posted August 28th, 2009 by admin

Early Bird Registration Begins 9/1/09

Ladies and Gentlemen, get ready for a great Fall 2009 with the sisters of iask, and the launch of our new website on September 1, 2009. Many of you have received the postcard to the left in the mail announcing the new website and the early bird registration for our 5th Anniversary Holiday Tea and Awards Banquet.

Sister buddy groups will resume in September (after Labor Day) and we will have a regional sister buddy group gathering in October to watch the premiere of Chris Rock’s new movie on “Good Hair”. Details to follow.

The new website is truly state of the art interactive–some of the sections will remain under construction but the main site will be operational so that we can allow members to start signing up early. The Tea will be held this year at the Sheraton Premiere in Tyson’s Virginia and we will have some fabulous confirmed guests and honorees (as well as a suprise guest that will not be announced until the day of the Tea). We also have LIVE Jazz entertainment for the 1st time ever at an iask event.

We look forward to a fabulous Fall/Winter with all of you!! Get your tickets early because we will SELL-OUT Early!
