President’s Message – December 2009

Posted in President's Message and tagged with , ,

Welcome to my last President’s Message!

The AMOA Executive elections are done & the 2010 AMOA executive are poised to take over running our Club! I would like to welcome the 2010 executive & congratulate all those who have made the commitment to help run our Club in 2010!! For a full list of those holding executive & volunteer positions in 2010, please check out the list in this month’s newsletter!

It was another great year for the Club and by hosting our usual events, we were able to make another sizeable donation to the Cancer Society…thanks to everyone who attended and especially to those who helped out at the shows!!

Our Social Director and Vice President Barb did a fantastic job organizing the AMOA Xmas Party…dinner at Chili’s & a comedy show at the Laugh Shop. Despite the rather poor weather conditions, we had a good turn out for this event and it was a wonderful evening! So thanks to Barb for arranging it and thanks to those who braved the snow to show up, enjoy a tasty meal and some very entertaining comedy!

You may have noticed that our website is not exactly operating at peak efficiency these days…in short something went VERY wrong with it at some point recently and very little of the actual site was working, so with the help of my daughter, Erin, the entire site is being re-done! This will take some time and effort, but unfortunately the old site was not salvageable! I will keep you updated on the progress! Hopefully, in the not too distant future we can have a website that does all the things we would like it to!

Finally, I would like to thank all of you for your support during my 3 years as President! This had been a very fulfilling experience for the most part and I enjoyed my time in the “big chair”!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank 2009’s executive for all their support and efforts! I would especially like to thank Barb Royer, who kept me sane and was always there to pick up the slack, no matter what that entailed! And after the devastating loss of Dale, Sharon heroically stepped into the treasurer’s position and has decided to continue on in that post for 2010, Sharon you are a rock and your strength inspires me! John you continue to work magic with the newsletter each & every month making it a joy to read! And before this message gets as long as a regular newsletter, I finish by saying to the rest of the 2009 team…all of you who chose to regularly go that extra mile in the positions you held, you made me look good and I sincerely thank you for your efforts!

On behalf of the 2009 AMOA executive, I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2010!!

See you around,

Deb Taylor
The Pink Prez!
