Eagle Rock Chapter President’s Message Maraia Roberts, Chapter President “As one door closes, another one opens”. My term has ended and boy, I’m going through tons of mixed emotions; however, I am totally excited about our new Board of Directors, I have no doubt they will do a fine job leading us into the new year with great vigor and enthusiasm. A special thanks goes out to Sherry Gallup CAP for getting our new officers installed at our June meeting – she did an awesome job. As I handed over the gavel to our new President, Donna Wuthrich, I did it with a great sense of pride because I know with a certainty, the Chapter’s success will continue to progress. I encourage all of you members to join me in full support of our new leaders and if you haven’t done it already, offer yourself to them and serve where you can to make a difference. As a TEAM, Together – Everyone – Achieves – More. I was so proud to hear this very same concept from our District Leader, Lisa Hogan at Annual Division. She mentioned that great success comes from having a great TEAM. And I totally agree, and that has proven to be true in many instances with our TEAM, keep up the great work members. As our Chapter embarks into a new year, I encourage all of you to get on board – don’t miss out on the exciting things that are in the works from the International Board of Directors for the betterment of the Association. th

My journey through this endeavor was fabulous. As a leader, I went into unchartered territory, stepped out of my comfort zone and tapped into talents I never knew I had, it was a great progress in the making as it all began, and I will never regret it. Thanks for supporting me this past year, and I am very grateful for a wonderful Board, for putting up with me, and although sometimes we didn’t always see eye to eye, we made it work, because we were a great TEAM. As your President I was privy to many things that most of you didn’t know, like who were behind the scenes, who went above and beyond the call of duty, who I could always count on, even on last minute things, who picked up the pieces when things were going out of whack, who was always ready to jump in with both feet to take on assignments, and the list goes on. Because of your willingness and support, it was hard for me to fail, made my job manageable in many ways. I had some great mentors in the Chapter; I never felt alone – this definitely was not a one-man island, we’ve always been a great TEAM, and I know we always will. This was a great opportunity for me and it definitely brought out the best in me, and I’ll be forever grateful. Thanks for “Being the Ones” to make a difference. Have a great month.
