Incoming Message From the Big Giant Head!

by Lauri Vickers, Loc Sec

• The 2002 AG was stupendous!!! I would like to extend a big, giant THANK YOU to everyone involved in making it happen — not only on my behalf, but I am sure I speak for all of the attendees! While I would like to list every single name of every single volunteer, there is just not enough space in this column, so I would like to at least individually mention all of the members of the AG Committee:
  
  AG Chair - Carol Young
• Hotel Liaison - Rose Lee Crutcher
• Registrars - Gary Maycroft and S. Gail Skvarenina
• Hospitality - Mel Anderson and Michelle Cwiekowski - with Ursula Gore, Barbara Bradley,   Larry Vercher, Janet Fotheringham, Terri Pokosh,  Lin Sinclair, Ken Brown

Special Thanks To:    Centeon Corporation,     City of Scottsdale,      Pete Constantino,     Jerry Corbin,         Downtown Scottsdale Partnership, Inc.     GAY SIG, Kim Gillespie, Hell’s Ms     Mike Johnson, Tony Jurewicz     Ray O’Connor     Phoenix Visitors and Convention Bureau,     Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau,     Joanna Soper

Please make a point to tell them what a wonderful job they did when you see them at events in the future!

This was really a chart topping AG it might even be the largest US-only AG in terms of registrants. We had 1,540 in all! Everyone involved in the AG worked themselves to the bone, and their effort paid off in a big way.

But the gratitude train doesn’t stop there! We are currently planning an AG “victory party” of sorts to thank our intrepid volunteers, as well as celebrate a job very, very well done. Stay tuned for details in the coming months!
