The 2008 national business meeting and educational seminar is now history and what a good time we all had in Providence, Rhode Island. Texas was well represented with 12 delegates at the Friday business meeting. Congratulations to Paul Brown, our new AMT president.

Texas also made a good showing at the awards banquet on Thursday night. Bonnie Mahannah, Taffy Durfee, Jeff Lavender all received individual awards. Kim Meshell accepted the award for The New Texan (2^nd place journal), and once again I had the honor of receiving the certificate for Honor Roll State for 2007. Congratulations to all!

The national meeting is a lot of fun and a great opportunity to get your CEs. I hope you can start making plans for next June when the meeting will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota (a short mile from Mall of America!!!).

Now back to more local news….we also have an election this year. You will shortly receive a ballot in the mail. Please, please, please take the time to mark your choices on the ballot, refold it, stamp it, and send it to Chairman of the Board, Jeff Lavender. Texas State Society of AMT is YOUR society and only by voting and attending the meetings can you voice your opinions! You can find out about the candidates in this journal.

Speaking of meeting….our next meeting is Oct 3-4 in Nacogdoches at the Fredonia Hotel-room rate is $83 per night, plus tax. Registration information was in the last The New Texan and is also in this one. The information is also on the web site at www.txssamt.org.

Kim Meshell is our host and already has a great program set up. Make plans now to join us there. Be sure to bring treasures for the Friday night auction. The auction is how we fund our scholarship and writing awards program.

Have a great rest of the summer and I hope to see a lot of you in Nacogdoches!
