Upcoming Event – Magic Valley Advertising Federation

This is very much a last minute thing, but I just came across it… Perhaps someone from the Magic Valley Advertising Federation can give me a heads-up next time so people have a little advanced notice (hint, hint).

Anyways…

Duane “DJ” Sprague, General Manager of LHM Advertising, will be speaking to the Magic Valley Advertising Federation on Thursday, September 11th, about “the chemical differences in the brain that make women and men different, how they learn and communicate, and how best to target each with advertising.”

The presentation will be held at the Twin Falls Shilo Inn. For those who would like to attend, RSVPs should be directed to Melissa Crane (or by phone to 208-308-0488).

September Coffee Morning

Let’s get this one on the calendar now, before another month slips away…

The September Coffee Morning will be Friday, September 19th.

Location is TBD at this point — we may end up back at Java, or Coffee Morning could be going on the road again. That remains to be seen.

In the meantime, however, mark your calendars. I look forward seeing a good turnout and fantastic discussion.
