| Ayalon Business Visitor's Day. |
March and April mark the first Membership Campaign for the Israel BNI chapters. The campaign was kicked off by Visitor's Days and joint Visitor's Days held in the chapters. Over 800 guests attended the events, with over 10% of the visitors filling out application forms. The overflow from the Visitor's Days launched the Modiin core group with 25 attending the first core group meeting and 18 filing applications.
With another three weeks to run, the Nahariya chapter had already increased by 70%! With 12 new members it now numbers 29 members. Dolly Modai, the chapter's resident professional singer, has five new members registered to her credit.
Israel's newest chapter, Paradise Eilat, on the southern tip of the country, had over 60 visitors on their Visitor's Day and gained seven new members. The group now has 25 members.

Guests Bring Big Business
We recently hosted a visitor who was looking to see how BNI worked so that he could join up with the East Rand chapter when it opened. After listening to his 60-second presentation, I realized my firm might be of use to his and asked if he could give me the name of his training co-ordinator. He was so easy to communicate with and said he would find out whom I should talk to. I told him that our sales lady, Wendy Cragg, would contact him.
To date that guest's company has purchased R64,752 worth of training from us and Wendy only deals with him, not a training coordinator.
And there is more training coming our way!

- If appropriate, give us dollar values for your chapter brags and testimonials.
- We would like digital photos of your chapter or regional events! As you can see from this first issue, we are able to have many more local-flavor articles and reviews. With your photos, include a brief description of the event, who's in the photo, and the name and city of your chapter.
- Please also include your web address with your submission, so we can direct our readers to your site.
