Wow! 59 attendees came to Cary for the seminar held on September 25-26 at Embassy Suites. The chapters were represented well at the recent seminar. It was good to see Wilmington members Marie Izzo and husband John as well as Ruth McClellan and Susan Corliss Bland in attendance. Kudos to these chapter members for taking part in NCSA events. Also seminar chair James Upton was called away on day one due to an emergency back home, but Cheryl Hudson, Florence Black, Marsha Wheeler and Gale Champie stepped in to assist with keeping things running smoothly. Mary Fuller fell and was hurt after day one and was not able to come back the second day, hopefully Mary is on the mend. Thanks to NCSA President Margie Strider for planning this seminar; lots of great information was shared, and now we all know that we need to increase our fees to save for our own retirement!
