From the President
Hello, Lake Communicators!

February is here, and we’re off to a great calendar of events planned for you this year, but we still have a few openings for speakers in the fall.
Have you recently been to a conference or event where you listened to a great presentation? Do you have someone in mind that would be a good “fit” for speaking at one of our monthly meetings?
If so, please contact me or Jim McClintock, and we will explore the possibility. Thanks for all of the input and effort as we strive to make it a great 2016.
Best regards,
Annemarie
