I will make this brief since John Nichol is waiting by his FAX machine for my comments.  I hope you all take a moment to thank John for his work in producing this newsletter.  He stepped up when we needed someone.

The next Board of regional Director's meeting will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday August 26 at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn in San Diego.  I listened to Bob, A.J. and John talk each year about the importance of strong chapter representation when the BORD meets in our area.  I didn't think that I could change anything by just showing up.  I was wrong.  

We will hold a drawing among the members that attend for an A.O. Smith motor.  Please plan on attending.
