President's Note @ Jan. 06, 2006

Hello everyone. Now that the holidays have past, the PNANJ Bergen County Sub-Chapter will be looking to improve on our successes of 2005. We have accomplished so much last year and we could never have done it without all of your contributions. I have put together my President's Report for 2005 and I must say that I am so proud to be apart of our Professional organization. We have remained visible in the community providing valuable community service to the Northern NJ area as well as contributing to the Aguirre twins and our Overseas Filipino Workers in Iraq. Together, we have made a positive impact in our community.

Our next general meeting will include an educational opportunity for our members and will take place in March. If you have not received a Membership Renewal Application you can obtain the application on our website. (Meeting date TBA)

If you plan to attend the PNA International Convention in Hawaii on the 25th please inform me so I know how many delegates from Bergen will be in attendance.

In the meantime, your Executive Board will be meeting in February to discuss how we can continue to improve and provide our members with value added activities.

I look forward to our continued growth and success!

Yours in Service,

Mel A. Carrillo
President 2005-2007
