Day at the Lake - Jim Gleason gave a report on the very successful Day at the Lake outing at his residence. 78 people were there. There were games for the kids and adults and all games had prizes. The weather was great. There was a lot of fun including 2 midnight boat ridws. There were even fireworks. Many thanks to Jim for hosting this summer event!!
Health Care Happenings – With the changes coming due to the new health care system, Tim Hite said you should be hearing from your insurance carrier. In the meantime, if you have any questions, give Tim a call.
NO LUNCHEON MEETING THIS THURSDAY, AUGUST 26 AND NO MEETING THURSDAY, SEPT. 2 (due to Labor Day Weekend) – back at the DAC on September 9.
PRESENTATION - Today Don Schlueter “Exhibitionist” of Schlueter Design & Exhibit Systems gave the presentation assisted by his son Todd. Don started in business in 1974 when he left Chrysler. Don brought samples of his new products – the Kable Tables and the Global Suspension. There are 4 collections of the Kable Table. Signature, Renaissance, Gallery and Masters. They are a work of art…an engineering delight. They are unique furniture for home, office or events:
- accent tables, side tables, bar tables, dining and conference tables
- great for trade shows and catering
- many design options
- many branding options (they can customize for your specific needs)
They break down for shipping and storage. You can add a logo to these unique tables – an elegant way to recognize or be recognized. The tables have tempered glass with cables attached. The tempered glass is strong. There are two layers of glass and Don uses a picture frame to secure the glass. Every cable has to be precise. Logos can be put between the two layers of glass.
Don introduced these tables in Las Vegas last year. He has filed a patent on the tables. Don ended his presentation by saying he appreciates everyone in the DEA and he said they will continue to dream on. For more information on these products, call Don or Todd at 248-398-8777.

WHY DO BUSINESSES JOIN EXECUTIVE ASSOCIATIONS?
Obviously, the first reason is to enhance and increase their sales and market share. BUT, representatives soon begin to learn that the relationships they begin to develop between each other become more important. This comradeship becomes intertwined with reciprocity and trust for one another.
Large corporations and even public utilities join Executives Associations because they soon learn that they have an abundance of quality services and products that they can call upon whenever their need arises, which is often.
Close warm friendships develop between members through the Association that last a lifetime. And the philosophy that we prefer doing business with friends has never had more meaning.
The Executives Association is more than just a networking organization. It is the place you develop the friendly relationships that you can always count on whenever the need may arise.
WINNERS – Carol Cianciolo won the door prize, a customized Kable Table from Don Schlueter. The 50-50 draw of $24 was won by Harvey Yates.
MEETING STATS – Membership is 36. Total member firms in attendance was 19. (53%). Total attendance was 21 – 16 members, 3 associates, 1 guest and 1 Executive Director. There were 113 member to member business transactions, 4 leads and 4 member acknowledgements. 18 gave input.
THINK MEMBERSHIP!!
PLEASE BRING QUALIFIED GUESTS TO THE MEETING!! WE NEED TO GROW.
