Don looks back on his year as President of the club

Don Eppler, President (2011-12)
"This is your Captain speaking"

As we near the port of entry I'm becoming nervous. My voyage is almost over and what a trip it has been.

With your help and dedication during our voyage our good ship Venio Dictum proudly displayed our 'FIVE STAR CLUB FLAG'
    
Many other TM Clubs from far and near at times questioned its meaning. It was our actions that proved to them over and over that we knew our mission and how to get there. That Mission was the benefits you received through 'BETTER LISTENING, THINKING AND SPEAKING WITH RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY'

Rough seas or not our sturdy and steady ship carried us on to reaching the goals we set for ourselves and our Club.

With us finally reaching dock this Saturday June 30th, 2012 and I disembark I'm both happy and sad. Happy because of you who wee such good sailors who continually without much notice came forward and rescued the moment. Your efforts made a potentially poor meeting into one of our best, so thank you. Then I'm sad when I think of us missing opportunities that we as individuals didn't take advantage at the time they affronted us. So my hope now is that we don't miss out on them the next times they arise.

So as your outgoing executive sets foot on land, we salute you our members for making our job easier. We salute our incoming executive as they now step a board our proud Venio Dictum ship and wish them fair weather sailing as they take us on our next journey. We know they will guide us as members to new exciting ports that will challenge us to becoming even better communicators.

With that, BON VOYAGE....my fair mates...
