Northstar Chapter members celebrated another successful NPW. We promoted NPW and the payroll profession within our government, our community and our chapter.

NPW and payroll professionals were recognized with proclamations from the cities of Burnsville and Oak Grove. We even received a proclamation from the State of Minnesota signed by Governor Ventura!

Within our community, we combined NPW with our commitment to community service. At our August meeting, we collected money to purchase food for the Ronald McDonald house. On September 5^th, several chapter members prepared and served dinner to the families at the Ronald McDonald house. They promoted NPW by wearing T-shirts and serving a NPW logo cake for dessert.

Within our chapter, we had a fun-filled celebration. In addition to having breakfast and a speaker at our September 5^th meeting, we had the room decorated with balloons and centerpieces. We recognized chapter members who have been in the payroll profession 30+ years and had them share the changes they have seen. We also shared funny stories from our payroll experiences.

We recognized all CPPs and FPCs in attendance and awarded each one a special pin. We had NPW related prizes and a NPW logo cake. The highlight of the meeting was the naming of the first Northstar Chapter Male and Female members of the year. Congratulations to Robin Murphy and Terry Meggitt! It was a great NPW and we are all looking forward to next year!
