| 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 |
