                PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

The end of September marks the halfway  point in this
two year term. It has been a year of change. The
Copeland-Budge Chapter, which included all of
Canada, disaffiliated to form their own national retiree
organization. For the first time NAFYR is charging a
membership fee, a modest $25.00. Dues are being sent
to the office of the Association of Professional
Directors, which will forward the funds to Treasurer
Dottie Eley.

Bylaws amendments, most required by the two
changes noted above, were approved by the
membership at the required meeting during the
national reunion aboard the cruise ship. One
amendment adds the CEOs of the YMCA of the USA
and AYP to the Board of Directors. More amendments
are necessary due to changes in the non-profit laws of
Illinois, where NAFYR is incorporated.

Membership dues are coming in regularly and many
members are adding a voluntary contribution to help
NAFYR reach its budget income.

Nominees for the 2009-11, who will be presented to the
General Council next month are as follows: Doug
McNeel of Woodstock, Georgia, president; Julius
Jones, Pittsburgh, vice president (East); Bea Halk, San
Diego, vice president (West). Incumbents Treasurer
Dottie Eley and Secretary Jane Kirk are also on the
slate.

The next national reunion, scheduled for 2011, is
chaired by Pat Ritter of Henderson, Nevada. The
proposed location is San Diego
