Greetings!

 Well, our Spring weather left a lot of be desired, so I am hopeful we’ll have a spectacular Summer! 

 One thing I do know, we have a terrific board for next year, and I am so thankful to have such a wonderful group of volunteers to work with.  After many months of open positions, the board is full and includes many returning members, as well as some brand new members who’ve agreed to serve.   This great mix of experienced and new members is sure to generate wonderful ideas and an exciting year for SWAN members.

 While the new board is busy looking forward, let’s take a moment to look back on all the success of the past year and thank our outgoing board.  They have all worked so hard to keep SWAN the fun and well-run organization that it is.  I especially want to thank Charlotte Bayala, our President for the past year.  Her sense of humor and dedication kept many of us going this year.  I am thankful that she will continue serve on the board again this year.

  
I look forward to serving as your President this year.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, and/or congratulations.  The congratulations part will come into play this Fall, as David and I are expecting our second child in October. 

 
Remember, this newsletter is the last one you will receive until September.  So keep it handy, since it is chock full of important dates and information.  Please don’t forget to renew your membership by the end of September to ensure that you are included in the 2008-09 SWAN Directory.  The updated membership form can be found in the newsletter and online.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer!

Michelle Terry - President
