Each year we put out a call for papers and offer everyone the opportunity to present information to the society. It is one of our goals to keep this society as diverse and intergraded as possible, therefore, if you have any information regarding the management of our water bodies, please pass it on. As this years president, I know you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, therefore with the quality of people in our society I hope to make this a good year by getting more of you involved. We really have a good thing going here and to keep it going we need to encourage everyone to become involved. It is not uncommon to have the same people do everything for a society, so before we allow those people to get burnt out, lets all offer a helping hand to keep this an exciting and educating society.
