Dear CofC Members,

I hope your year has been going well. As we come to the closing of the CofC year, let us reflect on the things we have accomplished. We have had a great year as you have all shone by “Whistling Dixie”! It has been so exciting for me meeting new friends and catching up with old ones as I traveled this year. I have also enjoyed reading and hearing about all the hard work you have been doing. Even though we are ending the year, I want you all to remember: don’t stop the wonderful things you have been doing! Also, get more involved. The more you do, the better and stronger our Organization becomes, and the more fun it is.

I hope you are all getting prepared to attendi the General Convention in Orlando. If you haven’t already, make your reservations now! The dates are July 16–18. The convention call can be found at http://hqudc.org/CofC/convention/. I look forward to seeing all of you there as we join together “Whistling Dixie” loud and proud!

In CofC service,
William J. Baber II
President General 2008–2009
