Hi Region 10 I wrote a nice long Blog at the beginning of this month but it didn't take so I will try this again. 1. Thank you to everyone for all the support when my Mom passed. It was a little tough thru the holidays but my family and I made it through. I hope all of you had a safe and happy holiday season and I wish everyone a safe and Prosperous New Year. 2. South Africa has finally got their website up, this means you can register for the 2013 Conference and get your hotel room. Please go to the iawp website and click on the conference logo. For those who pre-registered the conference committee and Jane are working on confirming those registrations. 3. The Early Board Meeting will be in Trinidad/Tobago in April. I will be attending the Board Meeting. I will post a synopsis of the topics discussed after the Meeting. If there is anything you would like me to bring up at the Board Meeting please let me know. 4. If members forward me training info I will forward it out in email. I forwarded out training info this morning, if you did not receive it that means I have an incorrect email. Please let other members know that if they aren't receiving any emails from me it's because I either don't have their email or I have an incorrect address. Ask them to email me at spacegirl1361@gmail.com. 5. This month the nation celebrated the birth of Dr Martin Luther King and the Inauguration of President Obama. Next month we have the SuperBowl (GO NINERS!!) and Presidents Day and also Chinese New Year. Happy Birthday to all the January Babies. Take Care and Be Safe Out There
