We had a great meeting at Max Dale’s on January 23rd. The food was great and the camaraderie was exceptional. We saw new faces and many we hadn’t seen for some time. Of course, the program for the evening was PCI compliance for those businesses that take credit card payments. As always, the evening started out with networking and just catching up. I heard a good amount of business being talked about during this time so I’m hoping the networking opportunity was well worth coming as well.
President Jay Roberts started the meeting in the normal fashion and welcomed new members and members who were attending for the first time. Then there were announcements from staff for upcoming events and opportunities to
get involved in SICBA and to meet other members. We then did two drawings and the winner of the renewal drawing was Crawford Garage Doors and they will get a free admission to the next member mixer at NW Granite and Flooring in Oak Harbor on February 13th. (Click Here) The Membership Bonus Drawing would have gone to Building Specialties Inc. but they weren’t at the meeting so the pot will grow another $50 for the February 13th meeting to $850 but the company must be present to win.
Jay turned the mic over to Adrian Santangelo of Interpreting Technology for the evening program. Everyone who attended appeared very interested in the information and it was nice to know that the deadline to comply has been kicked down the road for us until June 1. This compliance is not mandated by the government but is a combination of the different credit card companies combining efforts to cause more control over cards that have been issued and to cut down on credit card fraud. After this goes into effect, companies that take cards that are found out of compliance with the new PCI requirements could be on the hook if a card is misused and/or can be fined if they are audited by one of the designated companies who can do the audits. The other thing that is interesting is the FBI has been brought into this circle to do the investigations. So it is far reaching in every way. There will be more information as we move forward so stay tuned.
We then conducted the 50/50 drawing and John Voth of Peoples Bank was the lucky winner of the pot. Remember the next event is February 13 at NW Granite and Flooring in Oak Harbor. (Click Here) We look
forward to seeing you all there. Back to top

STOCK MARKET ACTIVITY The recent dive the stock market took isn’t something to really worry about. “Stay the course” is what I am getting from every financial advisor I have spoken with. When there is a “Bull Market” it is common for it to make a correction and then come back –possibly not to the same height in a very short time but will come back with steady increases over the long run. Economists say this seemed to be a greater correction because we have gone for so long with never before imagined increases without any checks in the market. Another thing to remember is whatever your investments in the stock market are, they are just paper. Until the assets are sold off, there is no gain and no loss of value. So, if you have any questions, don’t just jump out there and make a mistake that could affect your future retirement, etc. Contact one of our SICBA Member Financial Advisors with any questions and if you don’t currently have any investments, it might be a good time to consider doing so for your future.
