Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! As we move into this new year lets all take time to thank all of those who make our business prosper. We all will look back on 2011 with different perspectives, whether good or bad, we can be glad that we are still here. From the Heat to the fires, our members have shown that if we are needed to help the community we are there.

I would like to also remind our members that if you are ever in need of help, please give us a call as we will work hard to try our best to give you the help that you need. We thank all of our members and welcome all of our new members and remind them that we are there for them and with there help and input we can make this a wonderful place to have a business.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to serve this dynamic chapter as president for another year. We have made great strides forward with our goal of helping culinary students reach for success.

As we look for ways to grow our own business, let us keep in mind that by helping our community we help ourselves. If all of us take small steps in helping our neighbors, churches, organizations and community as a whole, you will find that you will receive benefits ten fold.

We would love to have many of our members give us there input at our monthly meetings. The only way we as a board can do things to impact your business, is for you to give us your time and thoughts. Only with team work can we all improve and grow, as well as make lasting relationships that benefit our lives.

Thank you very much
Earl Mulley
