Presidents Message for May 2010

COCBA is Restarting Its Engines!

After 8 months of a pause in programming, the Central Oregon Christian Business Association is getting "back to business".  While I would like to take the time now to give good details, the "cliff notes" version will have to do .  The main reasons why we have restarted our monthly meetings are...

• The upcoming Profile of Champions golf breakfast is on the horizon, and it promises to be even better than last year
• The opportunity for COCBA as part of the huge ministry of I (Heart) Central Oregon coming up in September
• The surfacing of people over the past few months who have a strong interest in seeing a Christian workplace organization where they can participate
• The huge need for Christ and Christian values and principles in the marketplaces of Central Oregon. 

So, we've scheduled our monthly meeting for May on Thursday the 13th for breakfast at Jake's Diner in Bend.  The combination of food options and the friendly atmosphere made it an easy choice, for now.  Attendees can have a great breakfast at a reasonable price, or just attend the meeting for a low cost, removing barriers for most everyone.  If you unfortunately have a difficult time making a breakfast time meeting, we are sorry.  We have also committed to a June meeting the 2nd Thursday of the month at the same time and place.

I hope you can come, and be part of our effort to bring Christ into the workplace.

And don't forget, soon we will give the details about the Profile of Champions breakfast at the Riverhouse in August.  You won't want to miss it!

May you, your family and your business be richly blessed!

In His service,

Wayne Hanson
COCBA Board President
