>> Hi Jim and all,
>>
>> I am surprised not to see a convention summary report from our president 
>> or
>> any board members, but I'll do my best.
>>
>> Wow, I don't know if I'll remember all who were elected, but here goes.
>>
>> Dwight Sayer chose not to run for any elected office. Therefore, Peter
>> Cerullo was ultimately elected First Vice-president. Denise Valkema 
>> retains
>> her seat as second Vice-president for one more year, though her name was
>> placed in nomination from the floor for first vice-president. Gloria 
>> Hicks
>> was again elected secretary, though Yassen Angelov from the Pinellas 
>> chapter
>> was placed in nomination from the floor. Paul Martinez and Miranda Kilby
>> were elected to the Board for 2-year positions. Johnnie Slaton was 
>> elected
>> to fill the 1-year position vacated by Peeter Cerullo.
>> Anil Lewis gave a great banquet speech really culminating in the idea 
>> that
>> we all need to make choices as to which group we decide to belong to in 
>> the
>> case of dual membership.
>>
>> The seminars were great. I did not attend, but heard many positive 
>> reports
>> on the Tips and Tricks seminar presented by Ryan Mann.
>>
>> I'm sure others can add a lot more to this report. Jim, you were missed, 
>> as
>> well as others who did not attend. Oh and in my opinion, the banquet food
>> was actually good this year!
>>
>>
>> Sherri
>>
>> Character is the side of yourself you choose to show the world.
>> Integrity is what you do, what you say and how you act when you think no 
>> one
>> is paying attention.
