He has been truly missed by all members. I d also like to thank the many members that have helped me with my duties as Governor and I wish the new Board of Officers a great success next year.

If you are interested or know of someone that is, please attend a meeting or let one of the current officers know. Keep an eye out on the WOTM bulletin board for dates and times. I am nearing the end of my term as Senior Regent. I will touch on my most heartfelt thoughts: 1) the outpouring of support from fellow officers, past officers, and members of the Moose. I truly appreciate everything that was done to help out, because it couldn t be accomplished without you! You were always there for me; and 2) I gained a wealth of information this past year! Congratulations to Maria Lay and Renee Carstenson for receiving their Academy of Friendship Degree at OSMA Mid -Year Convention...way to go girls! It s always great to see others succeed.
