Presidents Message:

Welcome!

Wow time just flies, so many thing to do so little time.

Please check out the newsletters, such a wonderful job John does. Great articles and keep up on club activities.

I am gearing up to take part 2 of my boards, so I am not sure when I will have time to publish again. I sure do hate when real world interferes with fun time.

Hope everyone is having a great summer.

Thank you all again for the things you do!!

Chris
