Welcome from the President

Good day to all.....

Well, we certainly had a great summer conference and those attending were in total agreement. They felt they enjoyed it far more than those who did not attend.

Thank you to all who filled out your survey sheets. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. We also appreciate the concerns that were expressed as to how to improve. Your comments are being read and evaluated. We will make changes wherever possible to improve your conference.

We certainly must thank Debbie Hunter our 2006 conference chairperson once again along with the volunteers and designers in all the departments that did such an outstanding job. Also most importantly all our allied members who generously donated product, time and money we are most grateful for. Without their support we would most likely be holding our conference in a revival tent. How scary would that be? Let us not forget to support these guys 100%. They deserve it and we owe it to them.

Last but not least, we want to thank Nellie Davis for her hard work, organizational skills, and dedication to OSFA.

OK next, I know it’s early but be sure to pencil in next year’s conference, August 3, 4 and 5, 2007. Tiffany Cheever-Lechus is hot on this project and I know it will be great.

OMF and OAMF are enrolling now so get on board for some great education. Contact Mary Wilkins, education chair, or Nellie Davis, OSFA executive secretary, for more information.

You did not ask for this but here it is anyway, your thought for the day..."Everyone has creativity within them. Only the talented have the ability to share it with the rest of the world."(Unknown)

Later,

Dan
