Message From the President, Kimberley A. Rau
Greetings MMCA Members,
It’s that time of year
again; kids going back
to school, football season
(Go Skins!), swimming
pools closing,
leaves changing color,
everyone getting back to
business. I always feel
a sense of a “new beginning”
in the fall. It’s the
same for MMCA with
the reappointment of
committee assignments.
Please take a look at the
committees on the website
as I will be reappointing
at the September
MMCA meeting.
Remember, you do get
certification points for
serving on a committee.
As I write this message,
I am preparing for the
first MML Legislative
Committee meeting on
Wednesday, September
10th, and a Board Retreat
in Annapolis, September
5-6, 2008. I’ll
report on both at the
MMCA meeting on the
18th.
Congratulations to
Brenda Colegrove and
Pam Fleming for receiving
their MMC’s
and to Barbara Dunbar,
City of Frederick, on
her retirement effective
the end of June. Also,
to Tom Carter, one of
the nicest men I’ve ever
known, I’d like to offer
a speedy recovery.
I’m sure everyone saw the tremendous
interest in a workshop on records
retention. We are not able to
have a speaker at the September
meeting to address this topic; however,
Kelly Allmond is making arrangements
for the December
meeting. As always, if there is a
topic you want addressed please let
me know and we will do what we
can to accommodate the membership.
In closing, my first grandchild Taylor
Nicole was born on August 21,
2008. I am so tickled that there
aren’t words to express the feeling.
I will have pictures on the 18th.
Kimberley A. Rau, CMC, President
