Dear Members and Friends,

Last June, I embarked on my term as President with one simple statement: "I want to recruit you." That statement is just a true today as it was then.

Our organization prides itself on the level of volunteers that support it.

I am honored to have served this past year as President with the outgoing 2009-2010 Board of Directors. These volunteers have all exemplified true leadership and resolve this past year. I would like to thank each and every one of our board members, committee chairs, committee members and volunteers for all their hard work and support that they've give the chapter this past year.

Please join in celebrating our successes of 2009-2010 and thank our outgoing board and committee chairs for their hard work.
