Thanks to everyone that attended our most recent board meeting. Extension has gone through some major changes over the past few years; and we’re still keeping in tune.  Changes are good when you can continue to complete your goals and objectives with less while continuing to keep your head held high. I congratulate all of you for doing so.  Now let us look forward.

I would like to give a special thanks to everyone serving on the convention committee for their hard work and dedication.  The Annual Meeting will be held May 6-8, 2009 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Montgomery, Alabama..  There is much to be done and not a lot of time to do it.  I’m asking everyone to pitch in where you can to make 2009 better than the past. Each year we should look forward to making the next year better than the past year.
