something so many need for comfort and survival
With all of the negativity in the news right now, I
pray for favorable news regarding the upcoming

leaders of our country
I would like to personally thank the 2019-
2020 APGA President, Tim Moore With all of the
craziness this spring and the cancellation of our
2020 APGA Convention, I planned to recognize
Tim and give thanks for his service this past year
at our committee meetings last month Tim had
shoulder surgery just prior to the meetings and
MASTER DISTRIBUTORUTURIBUTORRO was unable to attend Hopefully, we will get to
thank Tim in person sometime soon
I would like to end this article with something
a good friend and fellow member brought up
at our committee meetings Jeff Gresham noted
that “back in the day” prior to a District Meeting,
he sat down and called the members in his District
and invited them to attend For the most part, I
am preaching to the choir regarding attendance
What if we as members followed Jeff’s profound
suggestion regarding inviting members or
potential members to APGA events? What if we
as members called and brought at least one
new attendee? Call one, invite one, bring one…
Thanks!■
