In the good ol' summertime ...
Greetings!
This issue is dedicated to the upcoming SW Region Conference in Tucson, Arizona. I plan to have a complete summary of the conference, with photos, in the September issue. In the meantime (as they say in Greenwich), the Southwest Breezes will be on hiatus from June through August. Enjoy the summer!

Southwest Region President
It is great to be close to the end of another good year for the Southwest Region, but there is still much work to be done. We a re working to get the Region's organizational affairs in shape due to the major issues uncovered last year with our corporate status. This is important for the health of the SW Region and it affects our future, for not just the Region but all the Chapters. I intend to remain involved and assist FY2013 President Dave Bishton and Treasurer Robin Snyder, as they feel it is appropriate for this challenge.
