I am so pleased to be the leader of the RPA. We are an organization that has active participation by its members, Officers and Board of Directors.

Our annual events are enjoyed by people of all ages in the community. There is sincere concern for the youth and seniors. The Association continues to sponsor successful events and is open to the exploring additional events that there might be interest in.

Support of the Cooperative Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and Family Fun Day is evidenced by financial contributions from the RPA.  American flags that fly on the main road each year and our support of the Wounded Warriors Project show the civic pride of our Association.

I’d like to thank you the members for the support that you’ve given to me personally while I’ve been your President.  Your Officers and Directors must also be thanked for the commitment that they’ve given and continue to give to our Association. 

Please continue to attend our General Membership meetings.  You will see familiar faces and you’ll have the opportunity to meet new members of the RPA.  If you haven’t attended our meetings in the past mark your calendars and make an effort to attend. 

Note the events listed in this newsletter and if you haven’t volunteered for any of them yet think about it.  I can tell you that you receive so much in return when you volunteer your time and efforts.  On that note I’ll conclude my letter by stating that I appreciate the many kind words I’ve heard over the years for the effort that I’ve put into continuing the work of so many volunteers before me.  My job is an easy one because I simply follow a wonderful blueprint that was designed many years ago by people who had a vision of something that could serve a purpose and could last.

Sincerely,
Terri Cassidy
