As an "Actual Board member" ... the Prez in fact, I can say that we are working to correct some problems and make positive changes. The one thing that has been the biggest problem has been "life." John Lennon once said "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans" and I think that really describes it.

Most of you do not know of the events that I experienced this last 12 months. I don't plan on listing them here. Suffice it to say they did alter a great deal of "my plans", some forever. One example of the effect was that I only took my Amphi out 2 or 3 times all last year. This is not an excuse, but merely an explination to my lack of hands on with the club. I would personally apologize to all of our members if I could. Ed (our beloved newsletter editor) has also been experiencing some personal issues as well. He has been difficult to contact as a result. PLEASE know that we are re-thinking a lot of methods and issues. The changes will be profound and I am certain that after the growing pains have subsided, we all will be part of the greatest group of people I know.

The IAOC board is currently discussing many issues right now and making changes to better serve the club as a whole. We have many ideas to provide all of you with the best "bang for the buck." We will be trying to use the funds generated by our memberships to help promote the club which will just make us better. We want ALL suggestions you may have, WE are YOU!

There will be announcments comming as soon as we are ready to make them. I can say that we now have a new Treasurer. John Capone is replacing Ron Green effective immediately. John will (and already has) bring new life to the board!
