<div><font style="background-color: transparent;">I want to thank you all for your support in the just concluded election for NSRCA President. I will do everything I can to work with the rest of your BOD to make NSRCA a better organization. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to thank Jim Quinn for his tireless service as President, as well as former Secretary and Vice-President. He has served NSRCA well, and deserves our applause.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You made it clear in your vote for the by-laws changes that we need to move more into the digital age, and we will listen. I've added some thoughts which some of us are already discussing (and cussing) on how to do that and make the organization better, stronger and more transparent to the members. You've already seen the BOD minutes in the latest K-Factor thanks to an initiative from Scott McHarg, and you will see more in the future.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope that, when asked, you will step up and help your organization.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks again for your support,</div>
<div></div>
