I'd like to thank those of you who took the time to provide me with feedback for last month and remember! It is only with you and through you that your board can succeed!
I'd like to start with my monthly quote: "You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give." Eleanor Roosevelt
