Thank you for sponsoring the event. If you are a vendor of PSPINC and would like to sponsor a hole and be present at the hole, please let us know ASAP. We will provide a table and chairs for your people at the hole.

Just one more month!

I was elected to be a second vice president of Seattle Executives Association 17 months ago. After 6 months as a second VP, and 6 months as a VP, I have been serving as a president of the association since January of this year.

During this last 5 months, we have lost 12 members and gained 9 members. I think that is one of the most in-and-out the association ever had in its 90+ years of the history. I am hoping to add 3 to 4 more members this month that will make it about even as I am leaving this position.

I was hoping for smooth sailing for my term but it was nothing but ... I feel like I had a crush course in management. It is an experience that you can't buy with any amount of money. Just 4 more meetings to go.

You have a message.

When does your job end when you take a message? It is all depends on how well you want to do your job in your company. Here are some options.

- Write down the message on the pad and leave it on the desk of the person.

If you do not do that, you have no hope. If you are a receptionist at the busy company, that may be all you can do. But if you are not hired as a receptionist and happened to pickup a phone and took message, you may want to

Write down the message
Leave the message on the desk
Call later to find out if the person responded (make sure the message was delivered.)

If you can do that, you are more than the receptionist. You just became an owner of that message. There are more thing you can do than just write the message down.

Global Marketing

Here is something that I don't see very often. Something made in Japan.

Fourteen is one of the small golf equipment manufacturers in Japan. The equipments they produce are very poplar among the professionals and low handicap amateurs.

Although, the pricing you see here are much less than what they sell for in Japan, they are very expensive in the US market. They have not done the homework. That is very unfortunate.

They have one of the best wedges in the market, but their price of $169 is about $40 to $50 higher than brand mane wedges like Titleist, Cleveland, Callaway and Ping.

I can't find anything that is made in the USA. Does this country produce anything any more? It is very sad. Also, there is not much I can find that is made in Japan either.

Yahoo is loosing to Google.
Nokia is loosing to Apple.

Is this a good idea?
Can they make any dent in the market?
Nobody knows if this is a good idea.

But doing something is better than doing nothing. I wish them well.

Los Angeles has the second largest Japanese community in the US after New York. We are starting to look at possibilities to expand our service to Japanese community in greater Los Angeles area.

The first step is to place an advertisement on Japanese free paper called US Lighthouse. We are already getting some calls from this advertisement. It is encouraging.
