Celebrating 50 Years!

Who said APICS isn’t fun!

I know it’s hard to imagine that a group of operations people could do anything other than plan and schedule, you know how stiff they can be, but at Top Management night this year give them a little wine and they all came to life. We had 102 in attendance representing 26 different companies. A great time was had by all and we owe a huge thanks to Tony Ciorciari VP of Operations at IGT for his outstanding presentation on his winning combinations and how he has managed a global corporation. I would also like to send out a BIG thank you to Vino 100 and the Northern Nevada food bank. We raised $618 for the food bank through the wine sampling. Oh yeah at congratulations to Joyce Decker for winning that Slot machine donated by IGT!

Our membership this year has climbed to a record high of 171. We would like to welcome all our new members and thank our returning members. We are currently working on a short survey and would appreciate your comments and feedback. Please look for this survey to come out towards the end on June.

Don’t miss this summer Plant Tours! Art has lined up Sherwin Williams, Starbucks, and IGT. Click on the following link for all the details. Hope to see you there. http://apics-nors.org/events/100_538004.aspx.
