And finally, a big thank you to the 19 members of the CARE Board of Directors, who I have called upon continuously this year. We especially wish to welcome our newest BOD members, Vann Brown, Mohawk, Larry Cook from Beaulieu, Glen Hussmann from Tandus Flooring and Tom Pendley, J+J/Invision.. Welcome aboard- we appreciate all of these folks and the guidance they give to me and the organization every day.
A big part of the success came from a tremendous increase in membership.
