Presidents Message

Wow- what a year! I cannot believe it is almost time to pass the reins on to someone else, time hasflown by so quickly. Thank you all for your support in the past year, with my divorce and the passingof my grandfather and my second career as a habilitation tech for the mentally disabled it has beenquite hectic and challenging but I have made it through and I owe each of you a huge hug andThanks! This is a great organization not only for the connections you make for your career but inyour personal life as well. I think each one of us has a testimony to share about a time when anNAIW member has helped us in some way and if we don't have one yet- stick around for a little whilelonger because it will happen!

We are still working on several things- selling knives as a fundraising effort, putting together afinancials class for the fall, and now a Regional convention that our state will hold in 2013 inAsheville. Let's keep up the momentum and continue to lift each other and our organization higherand higher.

See all of you on Tuesday!
