| PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY NOTE |
|
|
Happy May, MASWA Members!
This is my last newsletter note to you as your President. I can not believe two years has passed already. It truly seems like yesterday I started in this role and now it is over.
I want to tell you how great it has been to work with this Board of Directors. The current board members have gone out of their way to make my job as easy as possible. Everyone has jumped in to help with projects and give ideas about how we can impact the senior community. MASWA isn't just about us, it is truly about the people we serve; it's about how we can do our jobs more effectively; it's about networking and establishing relationships so all of us can access other services for our clients, knowing they will receive the very best care and services from those we know. MASWA is about developing relationships built on trust, respect, and a common goal of caring for those we serve. It has been an honor to serve all of you as your Board President.
I look forward to seeing you at the Spring Luncheon on May 28th at The Reserve, where we will hand over the Board leadership to the new President, Loretta Stinson. Consider providing a door prize for this festive occasion ~ it's always more fun when you go home with a gift! See you on the 28th...
As always,
Linda Debner
President
