PRESIDENT  MEIER  BAUER
Time - it is always a precious commodity but seldom more so than at this time of year. And that sends the sounds of Jim Croce's song with the wish to " . . .save every day . . . make days last forever . . . if words could make wishes come true." And how true that ". . . there never seems to be enough time to make wishes come true. . ."         Time in a Bottle , Jim Croce
 
Whatever your responsibilities, your joys, your regrets, your wishes throughout the holiday season, I hope that you recognize that the greatest gift you can give someone or a project is your TIME because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back.
 
So I am wishing you a song in your heart, a friend by your side,
and wonderful memories.

Meier

Active Members      
$20.00 International dues + $13.00 Ohio dues + $1.00 scholarship fee = $34.00
