Dear Friends - It is just about 3 o’clock on New Year's Eve afternoon 2013 as I write this. Downcity Providence, RI is nearly empty, and the office is quiet. My goodness, it seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I was going through year end 2012!  Where does the time go?

 

Having returned from our annual family Christmas party in New Jersey a few days ago with Karen, our sons Andrew and Michael, and Michael’s fiancĂ© Jessica, my thoughts turn to all of our ADTA colleagues, friends and families as 2014 is about to begin.

I offer you all this prayer that Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote:

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has served this great Association during the past year, and welcome those of you who have recently joined us as members.  Karen and I wish all of you, and your Families and loved ones, a peaceful, prosperous and very Happy New Year!  We can’t wait to see you all in Vancouver, April 22 – 26, 2014!
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
David and Karen
