November Chapter Meeting: Tips and Tricks Round-table Discussion

November 1st, 2011 tcorganized

As professional organizers we have seen the good, the bad and the ugly kind of clutter. Sometimes with that clutter we have to get inventive with our solutions. No two situations are the same and products are ever evolving.

Let’s get a fresh perspective for these clutter problem areas by sharing our ideas! Join us on November 10th for a Round-table Discussion where we will share the Best Organizing Tips, Tricks and Products that we have come to grow and love over the years. From deep awkward drawers to the massive Lego collections we have dealt with and hopefully conquered! This will be a fun time to share and learn about new ideas.

Our meetings run from 9-10:30 on the second Thursday of each month, so our next meeting will be Thursday, November 10th, 2011. Chapter business is from 9-9:30, then our round-table discussion will take place from 9:30-10:30. Feel free to bring a favorite product to share as well!

Our meetings are held at the Boardroom in Brentwood, located at 5115 Maryland Way in the Chapple Building just past the YMCA.
