A Call For  NALCOM Officer Nominations   
As 2010 comes to an end, it is  again time to set our officers for the next year.  If you would like to serve  or nominate someone to to serve as president or  vice-president, please send an email.  
 
We had a great 2010 with a significant increase in attendance. It is obvious quality speakers and pertinent topics are what the members want to hear and see.  Personally, I have found my tenure extremely satisfying and if need be, will be honored serve in any capacity again for 2011. I would also like to thank Tamara French for serving as Vice-President this year. I really appreciated her help. Also thanks to Ava Terry for her assistance on many of the projects, picture taking and setting up internet connectivity.
 
Food quality was also improved in 2010 thanks to our sponsors and our caterer Rachel Shaw with  Buffalo Rock. With Rachel's help we hope to bump it up a notch again for 2011.
 
In 2011,  hopefully we can look forward to more on-site tours.  Please send in your suggestions for venues and speakers.   Remember good attendance is what draws the sponsors and speakers.
