After
crisscrossing the state with stops in 22 cities, NCCBI wrapped
up its annual fall membership meetings at a reception in
Wilmington on Nov. 6. Chairman Mac Everett, as energetic and
enthusiastic at the last meeting as he was at the first,
declared the annual tour a success.
“What a thrill it’s been to bump into folks I haven’t
seen in a long time and to make a whole lot of new friends,”
he said. “Now more than ever before I’m impressed by the
reach of NCCBI across North Carolina and the wide variety of
members we have.”
This month we have pictures from Area Meetings in Boone,
Charlotte, Concord,
Elizabeth City, Gastonia,
Greenville, Kinston,
New Bern, Rocky
Mount, Salisbury, Southern
Pines and Statesville.
Just click on any city to see the pictures. We'll have the
rest of the Area Meeting pictures next month.
A
total of 1,725 members and guests attended the 22 events, up
from 1,665 at last year’s 21 meetings. Attendance was down
at a few, most likely because of changes in scheduling. For
example, the Boone meeting, which has been a relatively
well-attended breakfast, was switched to a reception this
year. It wasn’t anticipated that this change would make it
more difficult for some members in that area to attend.
Among
the many bright spots on the tour was the heavily attended
meeting for members in the Burlington/Elon College area.
Thanks to the diligent work of Avery Thomas, of the Thomas,
Stout, Stuart, Core & Stuart accounting firm, the
Burlington meeting has grown to become the second-largest one
on the tour, trailing only the meeting for Triangle area
members.
