Dear Members,
I appreciate everyone coming to yesterday's meeting. The turnout was great to see. I do need to make right something I said in error, I WILL NOT be posting the minutes from the meeting on our site. This site is open to anyone, and the comments made by our members should be kept within the Association. I am posting my comments from the meeting so that any member that wasn't able to attend can see them. Any member that has a comment or question based on my remarks can feel free to e-mail or call me.
Thank you,
Ben Dick
President
