Dear Members:

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bill Olinger on being this year’s recipient of our “Inspector of the Year” award. His commitment to excellence and to this organization is to be commended and envied. Members like Bill are needed in every organization not only to make a success of the organization but to make others around him better members. I am proud, as you should be, to know him and have him as one of our Officers. I would also like to thank Tom McGonigle for filling in for me as I was unable to attend this year’s conference. Tom not only took over the Cracker Barrel duty but presented our “Inspector of the Year” award at the luncheon. It’s good to know that others will step up at last minute and take on these tasks. From what I heard, both Tom and Bill represented our Organization with professionalism and grace. I expected nothing less and was not disappointed. Another thank you goes out to Past President Alex Tucciarone for running the afternoon meeting at the conference. Alex has been anointed to this task every year and I hope he continues as he is very knowledgeable and runs a great meeting. I can never give thanks to members without including Tom Pitcherello and his many contributions to our Organization at both our meetings and at the conference. Thank you, Tom.

If you see these gentlemen at a meeting, thank them yourselves for making us a better Organization.

Fraternally yours;
Joe Albanese
President
