Thank you to each of our great exhibitors for stepping up to the plate to make this event a success. For our proud sponsors, without you, there would be a big hole, and we appreciate your support. Continuing educaton was a challenge for so many this year and we especially thank each of those presenters for your knowledge and willingness to share it with our industry. What is an event without attendees? - a special shout out to each of you for your smiling faces. It made us so proud to have the opportunity to meet and visit with you all in such a relaxed atmosphere. Now, I would personally like to thank each of our family members, beause that is what they are to me - family shown here, for all their help and hard work. No arguments, no grumbling, no “CAN’Ts”, just a strong determination to help our industry during a very difficult time. Never having tackled this before, they completed the task, and I could not have asked for anything better. Thank you sincerely. With pen (computer) in hand . . .
