I would like to thank those that joined us this year at our annual banquet; we had a great turnout as usual. As always it was great to get together with friends and associates talking about the year we had and our hopes for the year to come. I would also like to thank Kristen and Tyler Elder, “Leland’s Road” for providing us with great entertainment again this year.

This year we presented Bill Hassall, with the St. Louis Chapter MSPS Continued Support Award for his ongoing support and dedication to the chapter.

In February we will be having a board only planning meeting to get started preparing for the upcoming year. We already have some presentations in the works and we will be continuing to put those together for the upcoming year. We hope to have a PDU supported presentation at most or all of our regular meetings this year.

At the end of last year we passed the Amendments to the St. Louis Chapter By-Laws and Constitution at the Chapter level. Since then I have forwarded these proposed Amendments to the state MSPS Board of Directors for their review. I will keep everyone posted on the progress as soon as I hear something.

I am looking forward to the upcoming year and hope that it will be a productive one for the chapter

See you at the next meeting.
