January 31st: Meet-n-Greet, BigD12, & Officer Elections

by admin on January 6, 2012

Londoner in AddisonLet us ring in the New Year with a DFW UPA social!  The January meeting will be a three-part recipe:

  1. Let’s plan on socializing.  Swap holiday stories and New Year’s resolutions (you may have already broken).  Appetizers will be provided by DFW-UPA.  The latter portion of the evening will consist of officer elections for the coming year.
  2. We plan to review what you can expect at Big Design 2012, too.  We have a ton of great news to share with you, too.  We have saved some cool announcements just for this meeting.
  3. We will also do our annual DFW-UPA officer elections/selections.  Seriously, we do have a good time with planning things.  You will get the inside scoop by becoming an officer.  If you don’t step forward, we’ll just volunteer you, anyway.

Please RSVP by using the link shown below.  We hope to see you there!  See details below:
