I just received the final 2008 MaCKRO Newsletter in the mail. I hope yours arrives soon. A hearty "THANK YOU!" to Sandra for putting it together. Please take note of the ballot contained in the newsletter when you get it. The ballot allows all MaCKRO members to vote on the proposals developed at the Annual Meeting in October. Please, PLEASE, send your ballots to Bob in the enclosed envelope within two weeks. It won't be long before the WW Committee has to gear up, but in the meantime, wax those skiis and repair those boats! Happy Thanksgiving!!
