Finally I feel like summer has made it. With that being said there are a few things I need to mention.

In three months the 20^th annual conference will take place. It’s so amazing to have the support of all of you for 20yrs, thank you. The conference is August 30th-September 1st with the golf tournament being held on the 29th. The tentative agenda, registration and room information will also be in this issue. It is also time to start thinking about award nominations, the forms for the nominations can also be found in this issue. Please don’t wait to get the nominations in we don’t want anyone left out who deserves the recognition. There are some great instructors lined up ones who have not presented at the conference before. I think you will really enjoy the knowledge and information they have to share with you. So don’t procrastinate get registered soon, you don’t want to miss this.

On May 13th we had our 9th annual Benevolent Golf Tournament at Talon Cove it was a huge success and lots of fun thanks to all of you coming out and supporting it once again. Almost every hole was sponsored and most had some sort of game or give a way. The Talons Cove management was exceptional and took good care of us and the food was delicious. The board also did an exceptional job in helping put this great tournament together. We had some awesome door prizes and I think almost everyone won something. Congratulations to the winners.

Please feel free to contact me or your region rep with any questions about conference information or anything else.

I would like to again thank the entire board for all the hard work they have done this year, you guys and ladies are awesome.

Don’t forget to get registered for the conference and get your award nominations in.

Thank you

Debbie Findlay
