COME TO THE 6TH OCCASIONAL SOCAL CSR OUTING!!

[Marla Sharp]

It's actually just lunch. I don't know why I call it an outing. I guess getting us reporters to step away from the computer is such a big deal that I thought it needed a bigger title than just "lunch."

Details:
DATE: Sunday, April 13
TIME: Noon
PLACE: PF Chang's at the Irvine Spectrum (in Irvine)

I will be there. I'm very excited. I love getting together at these things. Thanks so much Marla for holding them. I really appreciate it.

For those of you haven't been to one, you should really try to make this one. It's the first one held in the OC. Whoo-hoo.

[Marla Sharp]

Aw, thanks, Kyung. So glad you enjoy them. You've been to almost all of them, haven't you? That's coming up on six!

As the old wine cooler coots used to say, "Thank you for your support."

[Marla Sharp]

There were a few new faces at this outing, which was wonderful. I know how hard it is to just show up and have lunch with a bunch of people you don’t know. But that’s exactly the point of all of this – to get to know some other CSRs, to network, and to communicate.

I would like to thank those who came for making our outing such a success and for showing that you care about your profession and fellow reporters. And thanks to the agencies that contributed gift cards for our raffle. Your generosity and unabashed appreciation for reporters is wonderful!!

This is a list of the agencies which were in attendance:

Lisa Michaels, owner of Chase Deposition
Christina Rekow, calendar coordinator for Kramm & Associates
Rosemary Schwartz, owner of Rosemary Schwartz & Associates
Stephanie and Isaiah Leslie, owners of Regal Court Reporting
April McMillan, owner of On The Record Reporting Services
