I would first like to congratulate everyone for the excellent year we had last year and for being a Quality Lodge. Now that we have done it, I hope everyone will expect nothing less. This year should prove to be quite exciting for Nentico as we are the hosts for the 2008 NE-4C Conclave and have already begun to plan. My fellow officers and I are hard at work thinking of ideas for this year's fellowships and annual picnic. I am very optimistic of the upcoming year and hope everyone is ready to have as much fun at these events as I hope to have planning them. We can all have a great year if we work together and shoot for our goals of a repeat year of Quality Lodge. Thank you.

W.W.W.,
