I just wanted to make a final 'official' announcement on my last day as President of the SECC and wish the club as well as the incoming officers the very best in 2010/2011.

Become an officer of the club - Hopefully you too will consider an officer position at some point in the future, as it is really is the best way to understand the interworkings/challenges/opportunities the club faces and put your signature on its' future course. I have learned and been involved in many situations in the past 12 months in this position and can assure you that there are many tireless and selfless folks behind the scenes that help make this club run.

Support the SECC - I have always felt competition is a great thing and we certainly have plenty of it from the surrounding clubs. Isn't that a big reason why you like to contest!!?? So - get on the air - target some contests- do more than you did last year - score higher than you did before. It's a lot more fun when we have 30 and 40 guys in the NAQP v. just 5 or 6. Sweepstakes - remember the battle cry - we have won the gavel twice before and not that long ago- we CAN win it again. That is - IF we show up and go after it. These are just 2 contest examples as there are multiple opportunities to score big with other contests and help the SECC.
