Thanks to the members of NOAA for allowing me to serve as your

summer and look forward to seeing you soon.

BOARD MEETING
The first order of business is a meeting of all current and past board
members, committee chairs and anyone who would like to volunteer to
help with NOAA activities. It is my experience the more you put into an
organization, the more you get out of it; friendships, fellowship and just
plain FUN! The meeting will be held Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 7:00 p.
m. at 7620 Norton Avenue in Harahan, LA (Lake side of Jefferson
Highway off Colonial Club Drive). I hope to see everyone there.
