President's Message
To those of you who did not attend the Installation dinner/casino night because you envisioned the typical empty dance floor, subdued conversations around the dinner tables and early departures for home, you missed out big time. Those individuals fortunate to attend were rarely seen at the dinner tables once the gambling tables opened~for business. I have never seen anything like it since I joined the chapter. A big thank you to John Baldwin and Mike Anderson for their hard work in organizing the event.

Thank you Mike Gregg, Marc Stewart, John Nichol and John Silcox. I appreciate and respect each of you. I also would like to recognize the commiffee members. I encourage the membership to take a moment and thank the above individuals for a job well done.

Thank you for your friendship and support over the past two years. Happy Holidays.

Jon

To the Membership

During the past 8 years I have served the chapter as secretary, Education Committee Chairman, President and Past President, and after 8 years I'M TIRED! And maybe some of you are tired of seeing & hearing from me. So I'm going to take a break and let other members share the limelight. I wanted to say that I have enjoyed these positions and hope that my efforts have made this a better chapter. If John Nichol asks you to serve on a committee, I hope that you will because it is only through the willingness of our members to be involved that our chapter remains one of the best in IPSSA
