Dear Gary:

Please share the following with the membership.

TO:  The Regional Director, the Board, and the members of the North Central Region, ACPE

I want to thank you for receiving the Distinguished Service Award at the 2000 Regional Conference.  It was a great honor and a memorable event in my life.  thank you also for the recognition, plaque, and gift for the three and a half years as R.D.  As I stated that evening, I have received more from you, than I have given.

I greatly appreciated being honored for my years as secretary in the regional office.  Thank you for the beautiful and elegant pin, which will be a reminder of your thoughtfulness.  The "Parking Space Goddess" will be a helpful addition to my car...now we'll see how it works!

It was fun to receive such a stylish beach towel and sun glasses, as well as the tanning oil.  Although fashionable accessories do not totally transform us, it is a nudge in the right direction, as we set off on the adventures of retirement.
