Happy New Year!!!

Mark your calendar to join us tonight from 6pm - 9pm, January 2 at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain.

My Special Guest this week is myself! Baron Benham, Financial Advisor and President of Baron Capital Management!

I may be reached at:

Some of you are already aware of my move from Fox & Company Investments to my own company as of November 1, 2001 but this will come as news to most of you.

Starting my own Investment Advisory Firm has been the culmination of my 15 year transition from Vice President-Employee status with Dean Witter to Vice President-Independent Representative status at Fox to President-Investment Advisor Status at my own company, Baron Capital Management.

So far, things have gone fairly smoothly and I've already managed to transition some 50% of the assets I manage for you good folks and I'm working hard everyday to transition the remaining.

Baron Capital Management gives me the flexibility to work with folks in virtually any investment area. It also gives me the ability to build a team of experts to handle even the most complicated investors estate. As I build my team I will be featuring each team member as a Special Guest at the Soiree and their area of expertise. I want you all to know that if it has something to do with MONEY we can most likely handle it.

In addition, my web mistress, Tina Rhodes, is busy improving my already terrific web site. One such improvement is making the Soiree Archives searchable! Now when you want to look up a former Special Guest you will be able to look them up using the persons name, company name, industry, date of Soiree, etc.

I want to thank everyone for your continuing support and please stay tuned as there are more great announcements to follow in the weeks and months ahead.

It is with great pleasure that I, Baron Benham, Financial Advisor and President of Baron Capital Management will be my Special Guest this week.

Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends!
