President’s Letter January 2010
Happy New Year, Wow 2010 I can’t believe how fast time goes by. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season with loved ones. This new year bring new beginning for our Association. We are planning this year new family events throughout this year. I hope you and your family can attend at least one of our family events this year. Our first family event will be a bowling event in February. See our newsletter in the calendar of events page for more information. I know last year was hard for many providers and their family with the bad economy. I know personally, me and my family was effected by the economy and trying to recover now. I hope this year will be bring better times and more success in business. If you were not affected by the bad economy in some way or another count your blessings. Also another change coming is that we will be keeping a log of all members who attend meeting, workshop, social and events the association has agrees next year we will be sending out different certificates for paid members verses good standing members. We would like for all member to attend at least 1 meeting a year. You can also be in good standing by donation items for funding, helping out at one of our events or helping out in other ways as they present themselves. I hope this year we can strengthen our Association. Last year we had a great out poor of donations for our July fundraiser and I hope this year we will surpass that and also build new friendships. I look forward to meeting members I have not meet yet so please come out to one event if possible.
