As we are considering those things that we can do to enhance what our chapters provide to our membership, I really like the idea posed on the national forums of trying to find a way to put together a joint chapter function between two or more chapters in the region. Is anyone else interested? If so, any thoughts on how we might be able to pull it off as time is oh so precious to each and every vet student? Perhaps we start with schools that are in the closest proximity to one another and go from there?

Unfortunately I won't be able to make the National Convention, although we do have a couple officers from our club attending, but I hope this might be a point of discussion while you are there. Please post any thoughts and ideas as they emerge.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
