Next meeting: June 17
at the Stoneforge Publick House
Announcements
Dave C. shared his thanks for everyone who helped make Family Fun Day a success. We had about 400 people, great weather, a great spot, and an outstanding event that exceeded expectations. One note is that it may move to the second week of June next year, to avoid conflicting with graduations, so stay tuned. And the highlight was being able to say hi to Claire!
A reminder, we will be meeting in person for the next two weeks in the Publick House, from 12-1 p.m. Please let Dan know if you are coming this Thursday by the END OF DAY TODAY so he can get an accurate headcount to Stoneforge as this is a plated lunch.
There will be no meetings on July 1 or July 8th.

At our most recent meeting...
Bryan Berry of, Schooley Mitchell. Schooley Mitchell describes itself as a vendor watchdog that performs in-depth audits of companies to make sure that they are spending their money wisely and getting the best services for their corporate contracts. They are "cost reduction experts" and their services are risk-free--if the check doesn't find any savings, you don't pay anything. The average savings among the companies they work with are 28%, and 80% of clients they work with stay with vendors they already have, just at a reduced cost. The company has been in business for 22 years and has documented savings of $360 million during that time. Thanks to Bryan for joining us!
