LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
December President's Message Happy Holidays to all TEW members! We've had a great time together in 2007 and achieved much in the process. Thanks to each of you for the privilege of serving as President, with special appreciation to the members of the Board of Directors for their support and hard work on behalf of our beloved organization. It has been a team with whom anyone would be most proud to work. And we appreciated the support for the new officers nominated for the coming term. They will bring their ideas and energy to the table to keep our momentum rolling. We can all share in the pride of our accomplishments through our mentoring programs and our Women on the Move® Event honoring outstanding women in our community. This year's luncheon raised a net profit in the neighborhood of $90,000 and these funds will assure our ability to provide more and better scholarships in 2008 and keep those programs running. Accolades to Chair Margo Snider and all who contributed to the success of the event. Our Program Chair Mamie Moy has done yeoman service in providing varied and fascinating speakers for all our meetings. Our Social Chair Sheridan Scott has ably planned our fun times together as well as opened her home monthly for board meetings. Director at Large Argentina James has generously contributed to our success through Port of Houston contributions and our summer social aboard the Sam Houston. Genora Boykins has been the most faithful of Membership Chairs and we are fortunate she will remain on the BOD. Theresa Chang has been a conscientious steward of our mentoring programs. Bonnie Berube has been diligent in security communications opportunities promoting TEW. And Sheila Manning and Paula Bohls have brought professional skills to their posts as treasurer and secretary. Scholarship Chair Carolyn Wyly has handled that challenging assignment with flying colors, and TEW will have a wonderful leader in Carolyn as she assumes the Presidency. We are in capable hands.
