Hey everyone!! What a convention!!!! I hope every-one had a great time and learned alittle more than they already know.The speakers were awesome, theprint judging was great, the food atthe awards banquet was fabulous,and the trade show was pretty cool.If you didn’t make it to convention,you missed out on a lot of fun.I have been busy since taking overthe reins from Tracy. A committeewas created to revise the bylaws tocreate a Human Resource commit-tee to hire an executive coordinator.This was voted on and approved inMarch. Donna Swiecichowski hascreated a members only facebookpage. This page has been wellreceived. If you haven’t been onthere yet, you should give it a try.You may just learn something fromyour fellow members.Since taking over presidency, I havealso taken on the newsletter untilwe can hire an EC. I have been tak-ing a crash course in Quark, andwhen I say crash course….I meanCRASH course!! Just when I think Ihave it figured out, I have anotherissue to figure out. I am getting bet-ter, so bear with me. I will get thehang of it.Plan to attend the long range plan-ning meeting coming up on April14th at the Hotel Mead in
