Message from President Lee Asta
I was going to write this message right after the wonderful meeting we had on Monday, I WAS ON SUCH A HIGH, but due to Technological challenges of dictating, after three attempts, I stopped till a later date! So, after a few days, I decided I am ready to attempt it again!!!!! SO HERE GOES NOTHING!!!!
First thing I am considering AS I START -was the ever-repeated message I receive from my dear OAG friends that support me by saying: “GOOD LUCK AND KEEP IT SHORT!!!!! Well, you can see from my past President’s Messages and my Meetings that keeping it short is not within my comfort zone. I don’t mean that in a negative way though!
