January 2015
Presidents Report
It is now January 2015. I hope you had a
great series of holidays and a wish of Happy New Year is in order. Last month I
highlighted and recognized the many volunteers who assisted in the growth,
profitability and success of the DRM in 2014. As we move forward into 2015, let
us further reflect on some of the projects we addressed this past year and to
peruse some new projects which deserve our attention this ensuing year. While
some of the new projects require funding, many projects are wholly or partially
funded. Most of the newly proposed projects are in search of a project leader,
volunteer and/or volunteer team. Should any of the following listed projects
instill interest in you, or you want to suggest an additional new idea, please
contact any Board Officer or Director.
