3. Bill reminded all of us to please turn off our mobile devices especially when we have guest speakers as a courtesy and to be respectful.  
4. He also sadly announced the Resignation of Jackie Perreault.  She has retired from PeoplesChoice and wants to enjoy life – can’t blame her.  Thanks to Peggy Dean for stepping up to manage the Registration Table.  She is circulating a sign-up sheet right now.

13.  More Bill Kany announcements like there haven’t been enough already.  My hand is tired of writing ---- He basically said two words came to mind as he accepted his new role of President – honor and responsibility.  Blah, blah, blah(just kidding)
