I wanted to thank Mike S, Mike "Captain" Q & the ever-lovable Ralphie for their contributions and service to the these past many years...I hope that the next convention, y'all get to relax & enjoy it !! Thanks to Wayne & Belinda for continuing their excellent service to the club and thanks to Jay, Doug & Sunday for picking up the torch.

Many, many, many thanks go to the Steffners for all of their effort throughout the year to make each one of "their" conventions a success (and congrats to Jim for your Hall of Fame induction!!). Thanks to my friends Barry & Jay for their work on the Bruce Landau auctions these past years...your efforts will be missed. Thanks to Bob Bickford for arranging the volunteers, to Roy Nelson for being the bestest "Boss" at the Club Promo table, to Greg Susong for just being YOU, to Gene & the Palms for all that you do, to David Spragg for his efforts & contributions and to all of the "chairmen" & volunteers that each year make this convention so enjoyable.

The is losing many great "volunteers" this year that really have made a difference in this club: the Steffners, the Masseys, Barry Weintraub, Mike Skelton, Mike Quinlivan & Ralph Myers, Len Cipkins to name a few...oh, and that Susong guy . Some of their positions have been filled, but others may be open. So if you can, please help where possible. And thanks to those that have stepped forward to fill some of those positions -- if I can help, don't hesitate to ask . Steve B
