DECEMBER HOLIDAY EVENT A WONDERFUL SUCCESS!

Lamppac members were treated to a holiday party for the December meeting. Members invited neighboring agencies or school districts to attend and learn more about LAMPPAC.

Several new faces were seen and all members had a great time talking, networking and "feasting" on refreshments. Members discussed the highlights and benefits of LAMPPAC, including the website and joint bidding opportunities. The event went very well and there is talk of starting an annual tradition.

Margarita Lee, Chair, presented several members with recognition certificates for their support of LAMPPAC. The following members were recognized for their work with the group:
Bill Gellman, City of Brea
Bill Niedfelt, City of Fullerton
Dick Warner, Retired
Chris Klein, City of Glendale
Gwen Eng, City of Manhattan Beach
Christine Roberto, City of Norwalk

INFO NEEDED, SHARED OR SOUGHT

The roundtable discussion for Decembers meeting had lots of info. See if you find any common information that may be needed or if you could possibly share your info with another agency.

Erik Sund, City of Downey, has a current bid for Kawasaki motorcycles from VIP Kawasaki. Please contact Erik for details.

Janna Kliebert, City of Lakewood, let members know that the first round of interviews will be conducted during the month of December for Purchasing Officer. Kathleen Hodge, Torrance Unified School District, shared her copier buying program with the group. Torrance USD buys refurbished Konica copiers for their 35 school sites. The copiers produce approx. 40 million copies each year. This process saves approx. $40,000 per year for the District. Kathleen is also looking for any agency that has paper-oriented or styrfoam bids for food services.

Cynthia Duprey, City of South Gate, warned all members to thoroughly examine their Nextel bills for overbilling charges. South Gate found approx. $2500 a month in overbilling. There is also a new i60 phone from Nextel that doesn not require the "group" programming. It has a chip that can be transfered from phone to phone.
