From the desK of the PRESIDENT

It is hard to believe that we are close to ringing in a New Year. It seems that the year 2017 has been but a blink of an eye. I truly hope that you, your family and friends have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the upcoming holiday season. This time of year brings families closer together; this includes the RETA Family as well. Chapter meetings take on a special tone this time of year with some having a dinner or other festive get together. Regardless of your Chapter affiliation just know that your RETA Family wishes you all the best this Holiday Season. Please be safe in your travels and here is to the New Year, 2018 is going to be great! Best regards, ~ Eric Girven, CARO, CIRO, RAI President, National Board of Directors Happy Holidays
