Dear Colleagues:   Fall is coming the air is getting crisp, apples are ready for picking, and the colors of the trees changing, we are charging into a presidential  election year.  With all this excitement  we are hoping to have a great turn out to meet with our local representatives on October 9th to share our concerns at our bi-annual Legislative Dinner.  Followed by a chance to mingle with our colleagues, which in our busy lives can be challenging to do. Not to mention our local chapters election in the fall for President Elect, and Treasurer.  I encourage people to find a buddy and run.  It has been a very rewarding experience for myself and Cheryl and there is nothing like team work to make it fun and easy.   The NPA’s 28th Annual Conference. Please help us celebrate! The Annual Conference will be held at the Saratoga Hilton, Saratoga Springs, NY from October 17-21, 2012. We will again be send a Taste of Central New York as a raffle basket, which has been very successful previously.    Remember to spread the word about our new network where all of our communication now flows thanks to the state.  You can invite anyone to our website, but only members will have full privileges of the site.   Happy fall and Cheryl and I hope to see you on October 9th
