Well, folks, it's been a great ride. I want to thank you for the opportunity you have afforded me to lead this fine organization for the last couple of years. But there was no way on earth I could have done this alone. Our able board has been there every step of the way, carrying water, lighting fires, and keeping my ADD from putting out the fire with the water! From James Early's ripping words as Communications Director, to Bruce Zimmerman's inspired blending of the traditional with new ideas, to Neal Thomassen's getting out the troops, I've been blessed with some brilliant and loyal people. But for sheer depth of experience and digging into the guts of MCA-I, no one can hold a candle to Layne Rodney's protean turn as man-who-would-be-everywhere. As your new President, Layne will have earned his stripes and then some. Everywhere you've been, you've seen him; whether greeting folks at the door, arranging meeting space, suggesting topics for content, writing checks, keeping the membership roll updated - you name it, Layne has done it. Now he'll be looking for your support as he takes on his new role. Seize the Day, Layne! So be sure to say hello to the new board at the Wrap Party on the 22nd at the Wood n Tap. Details are at the "Next Meeting" tab. Great food, great drinks and great company. Who could ask for anything more on a warm summer evening? See you there! Warm Regards, Steve *******************************************************************************************
