Notes from Secretary
This year has been one that's presented several challenges to me in my personal life, and unfortunately caused me great difficulty in performing my duties as Secretary. I thank the committee for their patience and assistance throughout the year, and wish the new committee well. It's been a pleasure to serve on the committee for the last 7-8 years. Thank you all.
