I hope everyone had a safe and productive summer and had a chance to enjoy the good weather while it lasted. In June we attended the AFM Convention/Candaian Conference in Las Vegas. Temperatures were al- ways in the 100 degree plus zone and we were basically hermetically sealed in the Westgate Hotel. Brent Larry Feudo served on the Good & Welfare Commit- tee and I served on the Organization & Legislation Committee which entailed only a few meetings for us because there were fewer issues to deliberate on. Janna, on the other hand, served on the Law Committee which met nightly and at great length. I’d like to take a moment to thank Janna for her work on that committee which took a lot of time and effort. AFM 101st Convention - Good & Welfare Committee AFM 101st Convention - Organization & Legislation Committee AFM 101st Convention - Law Committee To summarize, this year the Convention was very harmonious with overall satisfaction with the International Executive Board under President Ray Hair’s leadership. The financial picture is better with a two million dollar surplus.
