Headhunters Brewing Club
Presidents' Corner
Winter & Year End Edition
Our Executive Board, has been working on a concept, to periodically address our membership. The thought was a couple addresses per year, and the use of various authors under the pen name, "El Presidente". This inaugural edition was penned by Webmaster Tom.
Seasons Greetings to all Headhunters
I am starting a new communication vehicle, the "Presidents' Corner", to share our organizations' direction and vision with our membership. I envision this will be scheduled as a quarterly contact, once for each of the 3 seasons of the year. As will be appropriate, from time to time, I will also reflect on current events. So it is with these thoughts, that I launch into our 1st edition:
As I write this, it is hard to believe that 2009, is rapidly coming to a close. If you watch the television at all, you are starting to see specials on the year in review. These next few days are also memorable, as we are also closing out a decade. And what a decade of change it has been.
We have seen attacks in our country, that have changed our approach to air travel.
We have seen changes in our political parties and members, some memorable and needed, some less so.
We have seen many changes to our area sports teams..some good, and some less than necessary to be competitive.
We have seen our economy transition from being stronger, to being less strong, and now, in a recovering state.
And so with our Headhunters Brewing Club, we have seen many changes, both in size and structure. We have transitioned from a larger formal organization to a smaller informal one. It is my hope and desire to excite our organization as we start our new decade, together. My wish is to maintain the smaller informal atmosphere. To focus on growing our membership, and in a mentoring way, for our organization help everyone who seeks our collective consultation. I am excited to support and encourage our members, in their participation in various local brewing events, as a validation, that we are learning and growing our knowledge base, in the pursuit of quality beer.
At our organizational level, we have taken steps to update our membership information. We have experimented with various meeting days, in an attempt to allow for more member participation. As we discussed at the last meeting, I expect we will be settling back on Fridays. The fore running idea, is to use the 3rd Friday, as the #3 is prominent in our 33headhunter33.com web site, though we will have a separate meeting communication in the next few weeks.
So it is with these thoughts, that I wish to thank you for your past participation, and your continued support, as we evolve and embark on the new decade before us.
Travel Safe if you are, and have a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
El Presidente
