President's Message

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THOSE WHO ELECTED ME FOR YOUR PRESIDENT FOR 20001-2002. I HAVE ENJOYED

WORKING WITH OUR ASSOCIATION AND IT WAS AN HONOR TO SERVE. I KNOW THAT KIM SIDOWSKI WILL DO

A GREAT JOB FOR OUR ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEAR 2001-2002.

AS YOU KNOW, IT’S A TEAM EFFORT TO KEEP OUR ASSOCIATION ACTIVE. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP

OUR ASSOCIATION INFORMED IN OUR STATE & FEDERAL LAWS THAT ARE FOREVER CHANGING. IT’S IMPORTANT

TO PRESERVE OUR INDUSTRIES ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO COLLECT WITHOUT HAVING STATE & FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT STIFLE OR CLOSE DOORS DOWN ON US.

I WANT TO THANK MY FELLOW UNIT OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIR PERSONS FOR ASSISTING ME IN

OFFICE OF MY PRESIDENCY. I WANT TO EXTEND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO AMY CLEGG IN HER GOOF ADVICE SHE

HAS ALWAYS GIVEN ME. I ALSO WANT TO THANK PATRICK HUGHES FOR HIS EXTRAORDINARY EFFORTS IN

HANDLING OUR CONFERENCE IN JACKPOT. I REALLY ENJOYED OUR SPEAKERS FOR THE CONVENTION. I WANT TO

THANK THOSE WHO PAID WITH A SMILE AS IT WAS ALL IN GOOD FUN AND SUPPORT FOR OUR ASSOCIATION.

RESPECTFULLY YOURS,
