The CPI Executive Committee and Marketing Chairman Carol Neal thank all members who participated in USA Weekend's Make A Difference Day on Saturday, October 24, 2009.   What is Make A Difference Day? Created by USA Weekend Magazine, Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of October.  It is now the most encompassing national day for helping others - a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.   Why is Credit Professionals International endorsing this project? This is a win/win situation for us.  We can have a positive impact in our communities, and also gain recognition for Credit Professionals International.  Each year in April, hundreds of good deeds done on Make A Difference Day are selected for honors, headlines and charitable donations...and 10 national honorees will each win $10,000 from Newman's Own. CPI members already make a difference in their communities...Make A Difference Day is a great opportunity to increase our impact and visibility locally and at the national level.   This year we encouraged everyone to participate in Operation G.E.M. - Go the Extra Mile, and find a food-related project to make a difference in your community.  We received reports from: Associations CPI of Atlanta, GA, District 3 & 4 CPI of Charlotte, NC, District 3 & 4 Business Professionals of the Triad, NC, District 3 & 4 CPI of Brownsville, TN, District 3 & 4 CPI of Illiana, Chicago, IL, District 5 CPI of Indianapolis, IN, District 5 CPI of Ann Arbor, MI, District 5 CPI of Jackson, MI, District 5 CPI of Alamo, San Antonio, TX, District 8 Central Kansas Business Connection, Hutchinson, KS, District 7 & 9 CPI of Las Madrugadoras, Albuquerque, NM, District 7 & 9 CPI of Yakima Valley, WA, District 10 Individual Members Linda Ayers, Business Professionals of the Triad, NC June Aldridge, CPI of Jackson, TN Kathryn Greiner, CPI of Ann Arbor, MI Rhonda McKinney - CPI of Atlanta, GA Mary Nebeker - Past International President, Brigham City, UT Marvin & Annette Robbins, CPI of Eastern, NC Read the reports!    If your report isn't listed, please contact Carol Neal, Marketing Chairman.                                           top of page       CPI Home Page         Back to Site Map
