the President’s Message cont’d show up in mass to the L-Day events so that our messages are heard. If you are interested in being a part of our efforts please do not hesitate to contact any member of our board for guidance. Our Scholarship Committee is off to a very strong start. Our new-comer Steve Testa, and volunteer future board member Chris Allenger and current board members David H. Borg and John Glennon really are doing a great job to elevate our scholarship program and to obtain recognition of our industry as a whole. I cannot wait to see how this benefits the students and upcoming employees of our industry in the future – Thank you for all of your efforts. I cannot forget our Golf Committee – who are already planning next years event – Joe Gundermann, Mickey Romeo and Chris Allenger - thanks for making this year so successful!

Lastly, thank you to my Executive Board – Aaron Stein, Vice President, Paulette Katz our treasurer, Rich de la Sota, Secretary. And a special thanks to all the past presidents who are continually supportive of our cause – especially Jim Sutton, Don Hester, Tom Crowley, Earl Eaton and David Borg.
I will close my many thanks with a challenge to our members for 2014:
Become involved, volunteer time to your Association in the area that is of interest to you. As our past president David Borg said so well - ‘You will be amazed at the rewards you will get from serving”.
