SAN DIEGO CHAPTER IPSSA:

Re: B. K. TAYLOR AWARD 1999

Dear Chapter Members:

I want to express my sincere Thanks to each of you for honoring me with the B. K. Taylor Award for 1999.

Thank you for the very generous Gift Certificates and for the Holiday Bowl tickets. We have already enjoyed the Holiday Bowl and are looking forward to a weekend in La Jolla. As a matter of fact, we have checked out the facility by having breakfast there one morning between the holidays. We will redeem the certificates some weekend in the spring.

I have enjoyed my association with the San Diego Chapter of IPSSA. And, I would encourage all members to get involved in helping make it successful and beneficial to the members and the community. I really appreciate what the Chapter has given me through personal friendships, professional expertise, advice and assistance whenever I have needed it. Friendships and professional liaisons develop when you are around other members just talking shop. You get back what you put in.

I also appreciate the dedication of the Board Members and Committee Chairmen who sacrifice their time and effort to run the Chapter and try to make it better each year. They have worked hard in our interest and make it all worthwhile.

I want to wish all San Diego Chapter IPSSA Members the very best and most profitable New Year 2000!
 
 

Sincerely,

Jim Bradbury
