President's Corner
I'd like to thank everyone who attended, brought guests and worked to make the Business Associate event an enjoyable evening.  Special thanks go to the officers, Adele for publicity and obtaining the plaques, Waunita for the table decorations, Debbie for the programs, those who brought door prizes, and everyone else who contributed their time and effort.
The Spring Conference in Little Rock was attended by Ginger, Jean, Waunita, Adele, Susan, Debbie and me.  Attending a conference is a great way to get to know each other better.  Hope some of you will consider going to Atlanta in November to support Debbie, our Woman of the Year.
Just a reminder that we will be taking nominations from the floor at our May 
meeting for officer election as well as committee chairs.  Hope everyone will be giving some thought as to how you would like to participate in the chapter this coming year.  There is no better way to feel a part of the chapter than to be involved.
See you at the meeting.
  Sincerely,
  Shirley

Spring Conference
Report:



This year's Spring Conference was very enjoyable and educational.  I especially enjoyed the tour of the Marlsgate Plantation House that several of us participated in on Friday morning.  The gentleman that lives in the house and led the tour was very funny and knowledgeable!
Most of the seminars were 

very informative and helpful.  The general sessions were all very interesting.  We had a lot of fun at the Hat Party, especially Adele who came up with a hat idea at the last moment! 
Please be sure and take the time to read Terry Howard's speech on pages 2 and 3 of this newsletter.  Terry is our National President of ABWA and her speech on Sunday 
morning was very thought-provoking.
The National Convention will be held in Atlanta, Georgia the first week of November.  Start making plans now to attend.  I will be including more information in future issues of the newsletter.
