Thank you for allowing me to serve as ICON'S president for the coming year. I will do my best to listen to your wishes and needs and try to help ICON meet those needs. We have a strong, dedicated group of officers who are the hardest working people with whom I've ever come in contact.

In the near future, we will again be taking a survey to help us learn what you would have ICON offer in the way of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for beginners, immediate, and advanced computer users.

Our website, with Sarah Marshall as a superb webmaster, continues to become more and more useful as links and tutorials are added and as more individuals recognize how easy it is to go to the forums and ask questions or look for answers. If one person has asked a question, there are others who have the same or a similar question. Also, the website provides immediate information about meeting places, subjects, and times on the calendar; the most recent newsletters as well as an archive back to September 2002 are available; and in the future, we will be able to email each other via the website and the world won't be able to see our addresses to send us trash. The Google search engine link makes finding information on the Web AND on ICON'S website so easy.

I apologize for missing the June meeting, but I may think of you as I'm touring Dublin. I know Nancy can conduct the meeting very well in my absence. Take care of each other until I see you again. I will take pictures and I'll plan to share them with you probably in a Digital Imaging SIG.
