E Puyallup, WA 98374 253-770-7447 [email protected] President Tom celebrates dedicated dancers First my thanks to Kathy for her excellent job in conducting the meeting in February; we have been able to get a lot of the business completed. I appreciate all of the good work that has been completed and I wish luck to all nominee’s for next year’s board. On a personal note, I appreciate the prayers, all of the cards and good wishes from everyone on the recent problems with my wife. To let you know, her kidneys are fully functional at this time, and we have had to change her diet and medication, which enabled us to bring her home again. With the new diet and medication she is coming around physically and things are improved. In what I understand from the meeting, without getting the minutes yet, our work on the articles, not all of them were completed; however those that have been are being prepared for delivery to the membership for voting. More to follow on this, thank you to all those who worked so hard on this project, your efforts are about to bear fruit. Because of the postponed and rescheduling of the January meeting, remember that your time to get the ballots for officers back. We apologize for that delay, but I will say it was a necessary thing to do. Western Washington was in chaos from the snow and ice, I feel certain that we saved a few lives by keeping our dancers off the road and I thank Mount Baker Council for their help in doing this. Work continues on the change to 501c 3 and I appreciate all of those who have spent so much time getting this job to this point. Our work is not done, but we are on-track to be completed on time. Good job to all of you who have worked so many hours to do all of these things being worked on. Joyce Sebree and her group have put in so much time getting the constitutional articles to you for discussion and work at the State Meeting; it is a pleasure to be involved with such dedicated people.
