2001 Annual Meeting

                                             Breakfast and Third General Assembly

                                                             Sunday, May 6, 2001

 

 

A triumphant end to a fantastic weekend!  Those members who attended the 40th Annual Meeting will attest - and to those who were unable to attend - you missed a wonderful opportunity for professional education, involvement in your state association and fellowship.

 

The morning began with a delicious breakfast (as were all the meals and services at the Amway Grand).  There was an abundant amount of door prizes to be had by all - and some members even had two!  Of course, in an effort to support our chapters, we purchased a load of raffle tickets - and a few of our members actually won some of those.  The Chinese raffle hosted by the state netted a whopping $1560 for the scholarship fund.  Thanks to all who purchased tickets to support this cause.

 

The final attendance numbers for events of the weekend are:

Full registrants                          91

Partial registrants                      32

A presentation - AThere=s No Town Like Motown@ was made by NALS of Detroit to host the 2003 Annual Meeting.  Their offer was graciously accepted.  The meeting will be held at the Novi Hilton May 1 - 3, 2003.  The room rate will be $109 per night for a double.

 

The passing of the gavel from Carole Schneider to Beverly Points had its amusing moments and emotional moments.  Gifts of Anovelty@ jewelry were given to Carole before presenting her with some very lovely pieces of jewelry as a parting gift.  Beverly=s address to the members was inspiring and she was pleased to announce her special visitors that morning - her mother, daughters and future son-in-law.

 

The appointment of the standing chairs were announced and Ayours truly@ was ratified as the Audit Chair for the upcoming year.  The final ceremony was the installation of the 2001-2001 Board of Governors.
