| PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY NOTE | |
 And so MASWA begins a new chapter. June ushers in the first meeting with a
Thanks to Loretta Stinson for her leadership over the past year. I look forward to taking over the reigns, but following in her footsteps will be no easy task! Loretta will remain as Past President, but meetings will likely never be the sameJ I would also like to thank those Board Members who are stepping down after volunteering their service for, in some cases, many years. Marti Briest and Diane Maurer have served on the Members At Large Committee, planning and organizing beautiful Spring Luncheons. Ben Musburger has served as the Communications guru and is responsible for the move to a 'greener' organization. Georgia Lane was instrumental in the creation and implementation of the Community Outreach position. Marlene Panek has been essential to the growth of MASWA as a result of her creative ideas as Membership Chair. Thank you all!
Susan Green
President

| 2010 SPRING LUNCHEON | |
On May 20th, we enjoyed another spectacular day for our annual meeting and Spring Luncheon at The Reserve in Plymouth. Attendance was the largest ever, with 153 people registered. Vendors enjoyed the new layout and a game of sponsor bingo which encouraged all attendees to visit the vendor tables. Molly Cox and Jim Robinson gave a presentation that received an overwhelmingly positive response. Some of the evaluations completed by attendees indicated that they were very pleased to enjoy an afternoon of networking, good food and laughter! Who knew that people in the Senior Industry could be so funny? Thanks to the Members At Large Committee (Diane Maurer, Marti Briest and Susan Green) for pulling off a great event!
