Thanks to everyone for an excellent meeting last week.

Once again, I am reminded of how our class of officers and dedicated members has positioned the Western Maryland Jaycees for an exciting and productive 2010. I can’t tell you how excited and proud I am to be a part of it.

At our February membership meeting last week we took a giant step forward by setting our calendar of official events for the entire year. In addition to our established events such as Special Olympics, the Mylan Tailgate Party, 3 beer trucks at Friday After Five and the third Celebration of Young Professionals, we added some new events like the Canal Clean-up on April 10th, Frostburg’s Derby Day on July 4th and a Halloween Social Event on October 30th.

Our new website guru and Communications Director, Bill Moran (fabulous guy if you haven’t met him yet), is working to make the full calendar viewable on our newly redesigned website, www.wmdjaycees.org. Definitely check out the new site and give us feedback on what you like about it and what you’d like to see on the site to make it more useful.

In addition to our membership meeting last week we also conducted the February meeting of the Board of Directors. The officers were able to conduct some needed business, talk about what we’ve been doing and to share advice and ideas. Both minutes from the BOD meeting and the membership meeting will be available on-line very soon.

Thank you all for you involvement in the Western Maryland Jaycees and I hope to see you all this Friday evening at the Annual Dinner at the Oxford House in Cumberland.
