Hello SBBA members,

I can’t believe how quickly time has gone by while serving on the SBBA Board. I would like to thank the Board Members and everybody for all of the support, guidance, and education you have given me over the last 4 years. It has been wonderful to get to know you all.

I would also like to thank our newsletter editors, Kathy Rem, Jo Rogers and Patricia Mayer for their commitment to our newsletter.

Hope to see you all at this month’s mixer!
