To our esteemed members:

As Captain John pointed out there are changes on the horizon. We certainly understand that it hasn’t been the best of years for President Bevins. We thank John for all his efforts to date and his willingness to stay on the board and remaining the website guru. 2007 was an unusual year and having to rebuild the entire club roster when dues were rolling in was a huge challenge.

We have heard our members and are moving forward at a lightning pace. Within the last few days the board has voted and approved a club donation for a barbeque, etc to those who host the swim in’s. This includes our overseas members as they are very much part of this club. Many times swim in costs comes out of the pocket of those who are already willing to let us amphibians park in their yards, use their showers, eat their food, drink their beverages, etc. We will be in contact with those that host swim in’s in the very near future to discuss the details.

Getting a newsletter out ASAP is on the top of the list of things to do!!! Also please remember to send to the W&W editor Ed Price your Amphi stories, pictures, restoration tips, etc. Tell us what you would like to see and read about in the W&W.

Some other issues we will be concentrating on are discussions on personally contacting new members upon his / her entrance, contact all those members (lots!) on the list that haven't renewed their memberships, investigating a new location for the annual convention as requested by many, update the bylaws (badly needed), more timely announcements with details of upcoming swim in's (post on club’s website and newsletter in a timely manner), send out the membership roster (it has been since 2005) as was done in the past, recruit / involve our overseas members, etc, etc, etc.

Any thoughts or ideas for the betterment of IAOC please feel free to call or email me or anyone on the board.

With the Amphi season rapidly approaching for us cold weather amphibians, I hope to meet all of you at one of the swim in’s.
