Happy New Year!

It seems like only a few weeks ago that it was New Year’s Eve 2010 and I was preparing to begin my journey as your 2011 Athens Chapter President.  How time flies.  It has been an honor and priviledge to have been chosen for this position, and was a personal growth experience for me.  I encourage ALL WCR members to get involved in some form of Leadership….your return on investment of your time will be priceless.

As my year ends, I want to thank my 2011 Team of Officers, Committee Chairs, Committee Members, and Past Presidents for their committment to our Athens Chapter.  I’m looking forward to a fabulous 2012.  Brenda Thompson has a great team in place and they’ve come up with fresh ideas to bring more value to our Chapter. 

My wish for each of you is a Happy New Year, Good Health, Good Friends, and Prosperity in your business.

Sincerely,

Sandra Russell, 2011 Athens Chapter President
