From the President's Desk
Well another spring celebration has come and gone. We had great attendance for the conference even though there were capacity requirements. The Hyatt Regency in Green Bay was a great venue for our vendors and attendees. The exhibitor hall was large enough to have all of our vendors equipment company displays and area for attendees to listen to program speakers all in one large room.

Tom typically begins with a few fun remarks and then it gets serious.
