It was a wonderful conference as usual with lots of new ideas and meeting new friends and seeing old friends that you have made in the previous year. Juergen Spagolla attended the three day Leadership Training. We are able to send one Vermont member to the leadership training free of charge, or course you get your own air fare and room. If anyone is interested for next year let myself or Brandy know and if we have more than one person interested we will put all names in a hat and draw one. Contact Juergen, and I am sure that he will tell you about his experience. Below is a list of Regional meetings that anyone can attend. Also, mark your calendar for August 2-5, 2015 for the National Leadership Conference in Orlando Florida. Let s get a group from Vermont to attend!! Brandy Helm is now your communication person. Brandy will be doing the newsletter, webpage, face book page and she is till our secretary/ treasurer for one more year, Linda Locke is our membership person and also president elect for one more year. And I am still your president for one more year and your state spokesperson. I am going to try really hard to get the word out to the senate about the Safe Food for Seniors Bill.
