Dear Friends,

As 2001 comes to a close I want to thank you for the wonderful support you have given me this year. It was a pleasure and an honor to serve you and I leave you in very capable hands. Andy Willis, our 2002 President, has an exciting year planned for you so begin to show him your support by being at the Christmas/Installation brunch on December 4, starting at 10:00 AM. We promise you a very special time.

In the coming days we will be entering our Holiday Season and this year more than ever we need to pray for our Nation, our President and elected officials and for the families that were touched by the September 11^th attack. You have already shown your generosity by the outpouring of money given to the NAR Relief Fund but lets not stop there. All of us need to pray that our country will again know peace and that as a nation we continue to move forward.
