Letter from the Chair
Dear A&WMA Alamo Chapter Members,
Happy March to everyone! I love this time of year – my birthday month,
Spring Break, and bluebonnets! Spring is a time of renewal. I hope
everyone has a chance to take a break and slow down for a little while.
I wanted to thank the Board for all that they do. We are all volunteers
and I know it is hard to make the time and commit to extra things. We are
still looking for a Webmaster so, if you are interested in this position
on the A&WMA Board, please contact any of the Board members or send an
e-mail to the following e-mail address: info@AWMA.org. The Webmaster updates the website with the monthly newsletter
and makes any other changes necessary to the website.
Thank you all for your continued participation in A&WMA luncheons and
activities. Member participation keeps the organization going and your
continued support is appreciated.
Best regards,
Heather Johnson
AWMA Alamo Chapter Chair
