I missed the first chapter meeting in September, a kidney stone attack, followed by an infection, then some damaged ribs slowed me down for a while. I would like to thank V.P. Helmut Friesen for so capably filling in for me.
Plans for our National Conference in 2005 are very much in the formative stages, there is much work to be done, we are looking for people to work on various committees, you can volunteer by contacting Lorrie Pismenny or myself (phone numbers on page 10).
As this is the last newsletter before the end of the year I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a most enjoyable Holiday Season. See you at our Christmas Party!
