Dear Rebels,
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to express my gratitude for allowing me to
be your President the last two years. I have
learned a lot and have gotten to know each and
every one of you a little bit better. Unfortunately,
I will not be re-running for the Rebels president
position – too many children’s activities and a
heavy workload. I trust that our next President
will have as wonderful cabinet members as I have
had the last two terms that bring great ideas to
the club. I am looking forward to seeing as many
of you at the Christmas party as possible. I
would like to thank Bob Mobely for arranging this
much anticipated event. I would also like to
thank my board members who have served with
me the last two terms. For those remaining on
the board and for new board members, I wish you
the best and know you will all do great.
Your President,
Mike Brown
