Welcome back and bonne rentrée with STC France's September newsletter!

You might still be dreaming of your place in the sun but there's lots happening with STC France to brighten the horizon over the coming months, starting now!

Here's the One Minute version of the September issue:

• How can you get funding from your management for STC events and membership? See "Selling STC to your boss" for great tips.
• "If you're so smart, why does your writing suck?" : Karen Schriver's presentation at Saveurs et Savoirs on 24 September 2007 in Paris is a wry and humorous look at SME's communication skills. Members and students pay only 10 Euros for this event. Reservations must be received by 15 September 2007 to make sure everyone has food and refreshments, so book NOW by sending an email with your name and membership number (if applicable) to secretary@stcfrance.org.
• What shall we call the newsletter? You've probably got lots of ideas. All you have to do is send an email with your name suggestions to newsletter@stcfrance.org and you might even win a prize in our Name the Newsletter Competition! Closing date for entries is 15 September 2007 so get your entries in now.
• "Why would anyone want to be president?": read the thoughts of new Associate Fellow and STC France friend Vici Koster-Lenhardt
• How do you communicate or help others to communicate in and for Europe? Share your experiences by giving a presentation at our chapter conference on 14 March 2008. There are opportunities for sponsors and volunteers too - so everyone can participate!
• What's on in Europe? Seven exciting events in seven different countries just in the next two months! STC France members get great rates for these events. Check out the listing for an event near you.
