IMC April 2012 Letter from the Editor

Greetings IMC-ers,

We have a another winner!  JoAnn Camperi correctly guessed that the building pictured in last month’s newsletter was in the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library. Thank you to those who entered – please try again this month!

Do you Know Where This is in LA

Would you like to be a winner, too? To encourage readership of our newsletter – and awareness of upcoming events — IMC SoCal is sponsoring a photo contest:  “Where in LA is that? “  Name the location shown in the photo here and you could win!* The winner will be drawn from all accurate guesses emailed to: martha@marthaspelman.com within 24 hours of the newsletter’s online publication.    The winner will receive a $25. gift certificate to Office Depot! (Insert photo of “building” attached – can you add “Where in LA is this?” to photo like first time?)

This month’s newsletter, in addition to member and chapter news, includes IMC members’ “Social Media Source” (a listing of member’s blogs and social media platforms) – please send us yours! and a “Get To Know…” interview with IMC Orange County board member, Jeff Gotro. Jeff gives us great insight into how he has firmly established himself in a specific consulting niche and how he promotes his business – you may be surprised to see what his “#1 Source of Referrals” is.
