I would like to take this moment to personally thank every member for their support of this association and in particular, all those members that have consistently attended our events.  Your continued support is valued greatly.

I would also like to especially thank the women that have served on the committee.  I feel very privileged to have you in my life.

Jennifer, your creativity and depth of thinking in coming up with our program and value proposition has positioned us with strength for 2010.  Thank you so much.

June, your ongoing enthusiasm and steadfast commitment has galvanised me in my resolve to ensure this club continues to grow and benefit women worldwide.  Thank you for your passion, dedication and ongoing commitment.

To the other committee members, past and present, thank you so much for being willing to serve, for opening your hearts to allow us in and giving your time and efforts.  You are all busy women and I appreciate what you have given very much.  You will all have a special place in my heart forever.

So looking forward to a fabulous, powerful and amazing year.
