Since the last issue, I had planned to do so many needed things this summer. Now, all of a sudden, the highway traffic has increased, the school buses are back, the sun is rising too late and it's getting dark too early. The wonderful week at the beach seems like months ago already.
Time passes all too quickly when there are numerous activities underway.
Even my wife is attending the conference for the first time, so you know this must be a great conference for the spouses. As we are in the final preparation stages, this issue also updates conference information and the exhibitor registrants. As conference preparations are underway, the fall season also brings us to developing an operations and program budget for 2002. In preparing this budget and developing the program activities for the coming year, both Linda and I, along with the Board of Directors, have tried to listen to the needs of the organization members and take the necessary actions to accomplish them. As a result, we are pleased that there are numerous accomplishments to celebrate.
