With the greatest appreciation I would first like to thank the
more than 350 volunteers who helped make the 57th Annual Congress in
Denver a huge success! Where do I begin?! From the airport greeters, the
silent auction volunteers, parade participants, to the moderators and
session assistants, and smiling faces at the DAORN chapter booth….thank
you, thank you, thank you! Everyone’s contribution and collaboration
really exemplified the Colorado hospitality and spirit that makes us
unique. You did such an amazing job I hear we are hosting again in 2015!
I will be happy to pass my notes and learnings on to the next Volunteer
Coordinator!
Congratulations to David Wyatt who was re-elected to another term on the
national Board of Directors. Please also help me congratulate Rose
Seavey for completing her term on the Board and for the investment of
time and dedication - everyone’s journey is different and you have our
continued support! It is truly an honor to be associated with such a
successful chapter of our professional organization.
As spring approaches there is a new energy as we look to the April
meeting with excitement since it is being held for the first time at
Project Cure, a charity near and dear to our hearts. Please join your
fellow members in volunteering from 3-5pm prior to the business meeting
on April 8th. In the spirit of volunteerism please remember to bring
your collected donations of personal items (shampoo, tooth paste, etc.)
to the meeting for the women’s shelter.
Thank you again for a successful Congress and for volunteering your time
and talent! We are planning a slide show at the May meeting so please
email me any pictures you would like included. And stay tuned for the
“Denver Congress Top Ten List” as a special tribute to the volunteers!
Respectfully Submitted-
