Hello fellow NAIFA members:

  Already the month of April is upon us and the weather is becoming very pleasant. I want to thank all of you that continue to attend our monthly luncheons. Last month's meeting had an outstanding speaking, Janie Yow, who had the energy that most of us only dream of having. After this month's luncheon, we will only have two more months of opportunities to gather together until we go dark for the summer.

  In addition, enjoy your Easter holiday and remember the true meaning of this time of year. In addition, don't forget to recognize our assistants, who allow us to do a fine job. Administrative Professionals Day is on Wednesday, April 25th. I would like to thank Travisa Pearson, who is my team member at Blue Shield. She has by far facilitated me to reach higher goals through her support and teamwork. Travisa, thank you for all that you do, and know that without you, life would be very challenging. Ultimately, you are appreciated.

  God bless you all and go out there and invite your colleagues to our meetings. If you haven't already done so, familiarize yourself with with NAIFA's initiiative to reorganize our federation for the best interest of it. You will find the information under www.naifa.org and refer to "NAIFA in the 21st Century."

Take care and God bless.

Respectfully yours,

Genevieve Marie Hormel

2006-2007 NAIFA-Fresno President
