| PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY NOTE |
|

Hello fellow MASWA members!
As November falls upon us, it gives me a great opportunity to think about all the things for which I am thankful. I am thankful to all who were associated with this year's Fall Aging Conference. From the steering committee, to all the subcommittees, all of the sponsors and vendors, the speakers, and all who attended, all of you together made this conference one to remember. Thank you all for sharing your time and talent with us.
I am thankful to the MASWA board and their committees. You each take time out of your busy schedules monthly to share your vast resources in an effort to make MASWA the respected, vibrant organization it is today. Thank you for your generosity and support.
I am thankful to all the MASWA members. Your commitment to this organization shows that each and every one of you truly cares about the people you serve. You take the time to attend the monthly meetings, further your education by listening to the varied speakers, and network with the other members in an effort to know all of the products and services available to serve the seniors you work with every day. Thank you for your commitment to making your communities better places to live and work.
Wishing you all a bountiful, beautiful Thanksgiving!
Loretta Stinson
