Dear Members;
We, again, have reached the conclusion of another year, as we do every 12 months. This is the time where some take the opportunity to consider what transpired both personally and professionally over the previous year. Others look to making this time for family and friends. The usual holiday message contains wishes of good will, health, wealth, happiness, peace on earth and this I wish for each of you. I do, however want to acknowledge and send specific wishes to not only those who have had success, but those who have struggled over the past year, recognizing that not everyone has the benefit of support, family, good health and good fortune.
