New President's Message for the New Year

First of all, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and admiration to Sam Earnhardt for his dedicated service to Unit 499 as our Board President the past several years. Sam has brought a bushelful of energy and a very creative approach to that position. He particularly was focused on welcoming our newer bridge players to the game and making them feel welcome. I hope that I can sustain that energy and focus to the best of my ability.
