November 27, 2012 was the second of four ISES Indiana Free Member Events! This event was a fun mingling and networking event at Black Acre Brewing Co. just 5 miles east of Monument Circle downtown! Everyone had a great time and thank you to everyone who came and got to enjoy this fun (and free) event!
Black Acre Brewing Company is a small batch artisan brewery and tap room located in the Historic Irvington neighborhood of Indianapolis with a focus on unique, specialty beers along with a few traditional favorites. Thank you to Black Acre for hosting us at your super cool spot! Thanks again to all of you who came out.
A little background information on the Free Member Events . . . ISES Indiana won and received $2,500 at the ISES Eventworld General Session in Dallas, TX earlier in August for increasing our membership by 25%. As a part of the ISES 25th Anniversary Eventworld Celebration, there was an award opportunity for all ISES chapters to earn $2,500 for a 25% increase in membership over the ISES 2011-2012 calendar year. We are thrilled to say that ISES Indiana was one of two ISES chapters in the world to receive this award for this excellent accomplishment with an approximately 28% increase in membership last year! Great job to the ISES Membership Committee and a very special thank you to all of our members for your continued support toward our ISES Indiana Chapter!
The ISES Indiana board members wanted to use this money as a "Thank You" to our AMAZING MEMBERS! We have chosen to use this money to give back to our members in the form of (FOUR) free member events during the July 2012 - June 2013 ISES year!! We had the first in August at Victory Field, second last night at the Black Acre Brewing Company and are planning two more awesome events next year with one each quarter that will be free to our members that are dedicated strictly to saying thank you. We are planning the third free event as a February "Food-Challenge" event and the fourth event as an April "Pub-Crawl" event. More information for these last two events will be shared as the dates get closer. Thank you again to those who were able to come out and enjoy a night out with fellow ISES members! You won't want to miss these wonderfully exciting events and we hope to see you at the free events. Thank you again to all of our amazing members!
Sincerely, your ISES Indiana Board of Directors
