Board of Directors
From the President
that is golf.
By Jonathan Edin | CAI-MN President
An exceptionally mild winter has turned into the instant summer of 2012. As our communities engage in spring cleaning, some of us are getting a very early start on our summer passions. For me (and several of you out there),
For those who play, and even those who do not, the concept is clear – you can’t hit just one good shot to be successful. You have to string two or three together. Sometimes it all comes together for a few holes, or a round, and the experience of success makes you think that just maybe you can do it again. Success begets success. Recently here at CAI-MN we experienced a similar synergy of volunteer efforts combining to a very satisfying effect at the CAI-MN Trade Show. This year’s effort, in a greatly expanded format,
was the equivalent of a 300 yard drive, second shot to the pin, and sinking the birdie putt. The RiverCentre set-up was great for the exhibitors. The educational sessions and speakers were fantastic. The food and happy hour were, I’m sure, never before experienced at a trade show. Kudos to the volunteers who pulled this off. Each of you – Thomas Engblom, Mary Felix, Joni Goodmanson-Stulac, Melinda Johnson, Bradley Larson, Sara Lassila, Deanna Cort Price, Mark Schoenfelder, Halo Stafford, Kelly Sprague, Paul Hanscom – all deserve a special thanks. Thanks also to Tim Broms for the contributions of the Education Committee. This type of success makes me think that CAI-MN can do this again, and again. We can build on this success and grow. It makes me optimistic about our future, which is fitting with the coming of Spring.
