Reflections on 2017: Thank you!

Dear MRMA Members and Friends,

As we embark on the 2017 holiday season, we would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you for your support of the Midwest Retailers and Manufacturers Association over this past year. Whether you are a participant in our great events, a scholarship sponsor, a donor, or all of the above, your support is very important to the continuation of the Mission of this organization! We LOVE seeing your faces at the events and greatly APPRECIATE your generous support so that MRMA may award undergraduate college scholarships to outstanding young people year after year. THANK YOU ALL!

2017 has been a wonderful year for the organization with so many fun events! Our Chair people are continually striving to change up the events to keep them fresh, new, and exciting; all the while keeping your tried and true favorites.

MRMA will kick off 2018 with a new twist on the Annual Dinner. MRMA is pleased to announce the Annual Dinner will be held at Level 257 in Schaumburg on Thursday, January 25, 2018. Once again the Person of the Year will be honored on this evening, as well as dinner, bowling and games. Attached is an invitation and a reservation form for your convenience. We hope you will join us at this new venue!

Also attached is the MRMA Scholarship application information. Please feel free to pass this along to a student you know! The deadline for receiving applications is January 31, 2018.

Fun scholarship fact: Did you know there is a MRMA scholarship recipient who began working in 2017 at a MRMA member rep firm in the industry?

Look for more exciting changes in 2018!

We wish you all a Merry, Happy and Healthy Holiday season and we are looking forward to seeing you in 2018!!
