Education Report
This will be my last PD Report.I feel it is time for me to move over and let some else educate the membership.
Big thanks to Pam for all of her help and great suggestions. And thanks for putting your heart and soul into the news letter. And Ken for being there for me and the membership from the Public library to HDR and to a great BBQ at Riding Mountain.
I feel the best part of being on the board is the time you spend with these great people. You do not know it until you are about to step down. I now know. It is not the board but it the photo family.
This board had a lot of things correct, and they did a great job of it from cleaning up the books great job JJ.
Mimi took on the VP roll and was a great right hand to Ken and left to Brenda.
Brenda is a great do’r she was there to make sure every one did there part.
Des made us proud he located a lot of great new members.
Carey did every thing that was thrown at him.
