PRESIDENTS NOTES

We had a good meeting in Grand Island. We met in the bar area and several

vendors were present. There were several good door prizes handed out, so please

be sure to thanks the vendors when you are talking to them. Coming up we are

hoping to have some hands on classes, please think about what you would like for

classes. After we get some input we will try to get some good classes for the associ-

ation lined up. Also, if you know of any other locksmiths that are not members,

please encourage them to join the Nebraska Locksmith Assoc. The more members

that we have the better the association will become.
