Letter From The President Bob Mashburn President, Mile- High Section
Fall is in the air! The Aspens are changing, leaves are
falling, and Halloween decorations fill the isles in the
stores. It’s a great time of the year to take a drive
into the mountains to see the leaves changing and
wildlife moving around.
My first year looking back as President, we started off
with some changes in Board Members; a new
Secretary; a new editor of the newsletter, a new
membership chair, and a new web master. I would
like to thank all of you who have stepped up to take
on these positions and the Board members who have
helped me this year. Thank you! I have had the
pleasure of meeting more members with the Mile-
High section and other members from across the
country. We have a great group of members here in
the Mile-High Section and I look forward to meeting
more of you at future events and socials.
We have some great things planned for the rest of
this year: October 3rd our Annual Member meeting at
Perfect Landing; on the 21st our Monthly Social at
Golden Europe; November 7th an afternoon reception
and Steinway piano concert at Schmitt Music; on the
14th our Planning Day Breakfast for 2016; on the 18th
our Social at Los Dos Potrillos; and December 5th our
Holiday Party at Mount Vernon Country Club.
A few events we have planned for 2016 are a trip to
Wyoming and a trip to the four corners. Help us plan
more at the Planning Day Breakfast. If you are
unable to make the breakfast, please email any ideas
