MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND OUR APRIL CHAPTER MEETING!

Very interesting things are in store for us on April 16 when we visit and tour the headquarters of Ecolgy & Environment: a Platinum LEED Certified facility right here in Western New York. In the spirit of fuel conservation and environmental awareness, we will be carpooling for this meeting. Drivers are asked to meet at the Appletree Business Park parking lot facing Union Road no later than 11:45 a.m. Then we will share rides to the Ecology & Environment location in Lancaster. A box lunch will be available for all meeting registrants, followed by the tour.
Greater Buffalo BOMA has recently signed on to the Seven Point Challenge issued by BOMA International, and we will have a brief presentation about that at this meeting as well.
Reservations are $25/members, and $28/non-members. If you have not received an invitation and registration form to attend, please contact the BOMA office at (716) 856-3801.


> AND ABOUT OUR ANNUAL TRADE SHOW IN 2008...
We're taking a year off to update, upgrade and upload new ideas, a new venue, and new time of the year. We're looking to have the event downtown; we're looking at a Springtime date, and we're even looking at changing the name. So, as they say in advertising: WATCH THIS SPACE FOR FURTHER DETAILS!!!





WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR BOMA?



Wednesday, May 21 Chapter meeting: Clean Coal
at Harry's Harbour Club on the Niagara River

Monday, August 25: BOMA Annual Golf Outing
Arrowhead Golf Club


CHANGE IS COMING TO THE BOMA TRADE SHOW!!

For the past 11 years Greater Buffalo BOMA has worked with PPM Business Services to produce the annual Trade Show, known as the Facilities Management Expo. Well, as the song goes "The times they are a changin'". With many thanks and a tip of the hat to Nancy Boyd-Haley, President of PPM Business Services, BOMA has decided to produce this event on their own. A new committee has been formed, and we are looking into some interesting venues, including the downtown area (with parking!!) So BOMA will not have a trade show in 2008; instead, we will use the intervening 18 months to prepare a better, updated event, to be held in the spring of 2009. This will also give our faithful participants a bit of a break in their schedules as well! So "watch this space" for further details! And if you'd like to suggest a new location, or be a part of a dynamic and energized team, call the BOMA office and let us know! (You can reach us at 856-3801.)
 
GET READY TO GOLF!
Greater Buffalo BOMA returns to Arrowhead Golf Club on Monday, August 25, 2008 for our annula Golf Outing. Sponsorships and doorprizes will be welcomed, and the golf games and Chinese Auction will also be back. We're looking forward to a day of fun, bogeys, birdies and delicious meals. Invitations will be going out in the near future, and additional information will be posted here on our website. As always, if you have questions, call the BOMA office and we'll be glad to help out.

Here, Rob Harber of D.V. Brown & Associates shows us his best golf form.
