For this issue we should rename this article
“Acting President’s Message.”
As our secretary, Karen Kaczmarek, stated in the
President’s Message in the last issue, our president, George
Murphy, had to resign, because he accepted a new position, which
puts him in an almost constant travel mode. George was an ardent supporter of our association and a
willing and active participant.
We all wish him the best.
Because I was first vice president, I am now acting
president.
Another change we have to deal
with is our editor. Our
NOIBN editor, Scott Warnkey, has also accepted a new position, and
this gives him even less time than he had before.
His will be some big shoes to fill, because we won a number
of awards from Traffic Clubs International (TCI) for our NOIBN.
Scott’s efforts were a big factor in winning these awards.
We all wish him the best also.
The board considered discontinuing the NOIBN, but many of us
look forward to it, and Rachel Brahm offered to give it a try.
This issue is her first effort.
We will all assist her wherever possible.
Because postage and paper are getting to be
more and more costly, we want to try to get as many members as
possible on our email list to receive the NOIBN as well as program
announcements. We will certainly continue to send you the NOIBN and
announcements, if you do not have email.
However, if you have email, please email Rachel at webmaster@tami-mke.org
or me at delb@brahmintl.com.
You will help to save the club considerable costs.
This will also help us to get messages out to you quickly in
case of need.
Please be sure to watch for information on the
following programs: Bingo
Bash on October 16, 2005 (Packers bye week); Thanksgiving Dinner and
Scholarship Fund Raiser on November 17, 2005; Christmas Party on
December 10, 2005; Annual Awards Banquet in March/April, 2006;
Transportation Week in May, 2006; Annual Golf Outing on August 9,
2006.
The board is also considering holding one or
more educational programs during the season.
Some organizations hold educational seminars before or during
other regular programs. I
don’t think our programs lend themselves to the addition of a
seminar, so we can work on holding educational programs as a
separate event. If you
have any thoughts about when or where to hold these programs, or a
hot topic for a program, please let one of the board members know.
What can TAMI do for you?
