Don’t Miss these Great Demos Those of you who have seen some of my recent Facebook posts know that there are lots of things going on in the Sandahl household. Our family has become increasingly connected with the children of the Mexican orphanage where we’ve had many happy visits over the years and have been involved in the adoption process. In addition, my husband has been given (and already started) a brand new job opportunity - in Philadelphia…!! Needless to say, I’ll be joining him there in the not-too-distant future. With that said, this may be one of the last opportunities I will have to speak to Continued on pg 2 Continued from pg 1 you as your State ICES Rep. Since I’m looking at a move to PA, I will not be seeking another term as your Rep. I have enjoyed seeing everyone at our meetings (and was JUST getting to learn everyone’s name..!!). It has also been a great experience to learn about the inner workings of ICES, by attending the Midyear Meetings. Several weeks ago, I was fortunate to be able to tour the hotels and convention center in Mobile, and I think you’re really going to enjoy it. If I don’t get the chance to do this in person, I would like to thank everyone who has attended over the past two years. Special thanks go to Cindy, Vincent, Melissa and Karen for keeping everything in good working order. Having their help has made this job so much easier. I hope you give the next Rep the same welcome and support that you’ve shown to me. Thank you all, again….. Heather Chapter Elections We have had one candidate come forward for the chapter elections. Running for the Representative post is : Cindy Patrick .Cindy is the owner of Enticing Icings in Delaware, OH, and is the current Alternate Rep and past Treasurer Anyone who wishes to run for ANY of the positions, including Representative, Alternate, Secretary or Treasurer can present themselves for nomination on the morning of the Day of Sharing., before the start of the business meeting All current members in good standing may vote in this election.
