Secretaries Corner:
The Big Race is upon us once again, The Association is asking for your
support as this is our main money maker for the year. Now is the time to participate
in our need as the CPOA participates in lending to your charities. To play on the
words of President Kennedy "Ask not what your Association can do for you, but
what you can do for your association.
I live by a simple motto " Don't just ATTEND, PARTICIPATE" these words have served me well. |
