President Update
I hope that everyone took a few moments yesterday to remember all the lives lost on 9/11 and deaths that resulted due to that devastation following the event. It is a day that our generation will certainly never forget and the next generations will learn about in History class.
So to those that put their life on the line everyday whether fireman, policeman, medical personnel or concerned citizen - I personally thank you for trying to leave this world a better place.
There were several Phlash Phlockings this past weekend, Frid and Sat nights at the Sandbar Mayer-Kirby-Mayer show, the BAHAs at Plainridge Casino Sat Night and Changes in Latitudes Sat night out in the Worcester area. I hope all of those that participated had a great time.
I wanted to give you all a quick update regarding upcoming events and give you some highlights of the Club Leader's Meeting (the full minutes will be posted soon under our membership only section on our website).
All these club leaders and our NE Region Communicators work hard to give you the opportunity to enjoy so many things by communicating events and other special information to you. So if you see any of these folks around at events, please don't forget to thank them for all their hard work.

I hope to see some of your smiling faces at one or more of these events. You are the reason we are so successful as a club because you all have such huge hearts and are willing to give of yourself to help others. It's very humbling to me to see how much Parrot Heads do for others.
