Antiquorum to Open Its Fall Auction Season in New York 58 COVER This month's cover features The National Time Museum of Chicago President's Message Jack Kurdzionak, CW This month marks the end of our current year and the beginning of the new one for your board of directors and officers. This past year has been very productive. Our committees and volunteers have been hard at work to formulate new programs for our members. The Education and Certifica tion Committees have formulated a comprehensive restructuring of our certification and educational programs. The Constitution & Bylaws Committee has proposed a major simplification of our Consti tution and Bylaws to help us operate more efficiently. The Membership Committee has revised our membership structure to simplify our membership classifications. The Publicity Committee has proposed a new public relations program in which AWCI will work with watch manufacturers and distributors to have them promote our organization. The Finance Commit tee has worked very hard to make certain our budget is both realistic and productive. The Technology Committee has developed a new structure for our website. The Horological Times Committee has formulated written guidelines for accepting submitted work from authors, both professional and amateur, and will be aggressively working to expand our advertising revenue from the magazine in the coming year. Our executive director, Jim Lubic, and his staff have been working with the board in a very cooperative, profes sional manner to make the efforts of the board and the committees, more productive and efficient. Retiring from the board are Fred Burckhardt, Wes Door, and Ron DeCorte. In addition to their service as directors and board officers, all three are past presidents. They have been major contributors to AWCI and their presence on the board will be missed. Also retiring is John F. Kurdzionak, our Affiliate Chapter director, after serving two one-year terms. John's Affiliate Chapter column has been a lively addition to the magazine each month. Thanks to the officers and members of the board who have worked with the committees, the staff, and your president this past year. Their work and the support of you, our members, have made this a very successful year for AWCI. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW I'm happy to announce the July 13th arrival of Van Joseph Frye, 6lbs, 3 oz, and 19 inches long. Van is the lucky son of our Receptionist/Secretary Melanie Frye and her husband Doug. Mother, father, and son are all doing fine. Melanie resigned her full-time position the week before her baby was born in order to be a stay-at-home mom. Her very able replacement is Heather Kyde. Welcome Heather! Now when you call AWl and press "0" you will be talking to Heather. Be sure and say hello to Heather the next time you call AWl. By the time you read this the 43'ct AWl Annual Convention/Board of Directors Meeting will be history. If you weren't able to attend the educational programs, copies of each presentation will be on sale in VHS or DVD format. New this year will be the availability of a VHS copy of the annual meeting. This will be a low-cost production where the camera is pointed at the podium at the beginning of the meeting and left there only to be bothered when full tapes need to be replaced with new ones. We will make the meeting tapes available through the Library on a 14-day loan basis. If you are interested in viewing the meeting video contact Mary Huff at 1-866-367-2924, ext. 305 or e-mail [email protected] to reserve a copy. While we are on the subject of videos, I'm sure you all noticed the new video/DVD that is now available by Larry Blanchard that was announced on this month's envelope entitled "Coil Repair Techniques for Accutron and Quartz".
