President's Message
By Martin Wheatley, President
Greetings everyone. We have made it through the first quarter of 2021, and things are looking pretty great. The pandemic seems to have turned a corner and is beginning to slow down. The vaccine seems to be working as we all hoped it would. I hope our new president is right and we can have a normal 4th of July celebration this year.
