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 in August 2012 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 in November at the Black Acre Brewing Company, the third event at Saddle Up Saloon in March and this fourth event on June 13th at Hard Rock Cafe.  These are free to our members and are dedicated strictly to saying thank you.  

We look forward to seeing a lot of our members and guests there!!  You won't want to miss this wonderfully exciting event and we hope to see you there. Thank you again to all of our amazing members!
