Hello all,
I am interested in getting involved at the National level. What do I do? Am
I elgible? Who do I contact for more information.
My friendship with Mike was in it's infancy and this is one of the topics I
wanted to discuss with him. We only had a few conversations, but it was off
to a great start. I will miss him, and I will always wonder where our
friendship could have gone. I feel that if nothing more, my quest to do more
as a member of this organization would be in honor of him.
R I P my new friend
Living the dream, by raising expectations!
Much Love,
Walter Mitchell
