The communications landscape is changing at a breathtaking pace. The convergence of technology, globalization and stakeholder empowerment means firms are under pressure to be more transparent. The rising popularity of social media has changed the rules of corporate engagement with customers, employees, regulators, and communities. This presentation focuses on media and community issues created by the social media revolution.

Alexis Cairo has significant international experience in strategic community consultation and communication planning. Her international experience includes 18 years with the mining company Rio Tinto in the US, the United Kingdom and Australia. Alexis has encouraged senior managers to work with communities to identify community needs and expectations, deal with crises and manage reputation. As a member of the internal team that piloted Rio Tinto's sustainable development initiative, Alexis learned that only by engaging local communities and understanding their expectations can a company truly measure its contribution to society. She is also co-author of Emerging Ethical and Legal Issues in the Brave New World of Social Media.

We are priviledged to have Ms. Cairo speak, and at the conclusion of her remarks equally privileged to enjoy the company of other members, especially the Junior Members joining us for this event.

Soccer Night
REAL SALT LAKE vs COLORADO RAPIDS
Saturday, September 25, 2010
5:00 p.m. Dinner
8:00 p.m. Game
RSVP for dinner and tickets
In July of 2004, the dream of having world-class soccer in Utah, came to fruition. The mission was simple: create an internationally-recognized soccer brand, one which would become the flagship franchise of a growing American soccer league. And indeed, six years later, with the 2009 MLS Championship Cup belonging to Real Salt Lake, it seems our home soccer team has lived up to its goals.

Now, we are taking the opportunity to see these talented athletes in action against the Colorado Rapids at Rio Tinto Stadium. Please join us for dinner in the Bar & Grill. The chef has promised some tantalizing specials for the evening. Then, after dining, we'll walk to TRAX and travel to the game together. Please feel free to invite your kids, extended family, friends and neighbors to join the fun. When you make your reservation, please let us know how many tickets you will need. They are $20.00 each for the game. See you at the Club.

Pizza Saturdays
THE SPECIAL RECIPIES OF GUEST CHEF STEVEN DOBROWOLSKI
BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 25
EVERY SATURDAY EVENING Through October
Saturday, September 25th marks the kick off of "Pizza Saturdays"! Guest Chef Steven Dobrowolski, a personal chef from Park City, will be in the Grill cooking up some special pizzas from his personal recipes. We will continue through the month of October featuring his pizzas every Saturday. What's a good pizza without a good glass of Italian wine, you ask? Nothing, that's why there will be a special glass of something from Tuscany that will be sure to compliment Chef Steven's creations.

So mark your calendars starting Saturday, September 25th and continuing through October. The McCarthey Bar & Grill is definitely the place to be this fall, so see you there. Ciao!

"Burgundy makes you think of silly things; Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them."
-—Brillat-Savarin

There are approximately 50 million bubbles in a bottle of champagne. There is approximately 70 to 90 PSI of pressure in a champagne bottle, twice the amount in your car tires. There are 980 million bottles of Champagne stored underground in the region of Champagne. There are only 3 grape varietals allowed in the making of Champagne and the bubbles in Champagne were originally a fault in the wine.

In France it's either Champagne or Cremant, in Germany it's Sekt, in America it's Sparkling. There's a lot to know about our effervescent friend and there's always something to learn. Most importantly there are wines to be tasted. This month we'll celebrate in style with an array of Bubbles. We'll find that it pairs with most every food and can be drunk on any occasion, even if it's no occasion at all.

I look forward to seeing you all in the McCarthey Bar for a Bubbly Wine Wednesday! Salut,

Lori Walls
Food & Beverage Director and Sommelier
