 Dear NARI Members:
The winter holidays are a time to celebrate all that we should be thankful for and not take for granted. I want to encourage the entire NARI of Greater Charlotte membership to consider the successes and opportunities we have enjoyed this past year as well as our challenges.
I appreciate this year's Board of Directors, Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs, volunteers, staff and management company during my term as President. So, during this holiday season I want to express my appreciation to all of you and especially to those who went the extra mile when it came to our call for volunteerism. Thank you for your support and assistance.
I have been honored to serve as the President of this outstanding organization and I look forward to the holiday season. It's that time of year when we all become reflective on the past and try to ignite new enthusiasm for a new year. NARI is moving in the right direction. So, renew your membership for 2008 and get involved to help assure the success of our mission as a trade association. You'll be glad you did!
Here's wishing everyone a healthy and happy holiday season.
Season's Greetings,
Bob Otto |
