President’s Message, June 2010
Dear Colleague and Fellow Member:
Well, it’s me again. One more year. I’m up for it if you are; however, one must wonder when only a handful caught Carrie Nation having been used in our last President’s page instead of Susan B. Anthony. Shame on the rest of you.
As you will note in our minutes, Dennis Rodgers is no longer on board as our Treasurer. He will be sorely missed. His departure, while a real loss, can be understood considering he is entering into an advanced stage of semi-retirement. Dennis will be spending a great deal of time in his new 6500 square foot cottage in Fort Meyers. Amber Drew is already eating tons of growth food, looking forward to filling Dennis’ shoes.
Hopefully, our next newsletter will have a firm date for the Holiday Dinner/Dance. It will not conflict with the mid-year ISBA meeting and hopefully not with an Illini game.
In the meantime, we will also be announcing the annual Softball game and accompanying kegger along with a time and date for our Fall Mixer. At the risk of beating the proverbial dead horse, when these events are announced, please calendar them.
I look forward to one more year serving in this capacity. As always, if any members have constructive ideas for improvement in what we are doing, I’m happy to listen. In addition, keep in mind that Board meetings are always opened to our membership.
