RAFINO has been well served by George and Jan Beckett as the steering rod for our organization over the last 4 years.  Thanks to you and all of the other RAFINO officers for all that you have accomplished.  Unfortunately, as you all know one of our long-standing beloved members and officers, Phil Anderson was recently called by a higher authority for membership.  To say that Phil "Supported and Served" until the end is a real understatement.  We have had to say goodbye to far too many of our outstanding brethren.  But that is why it is important for us to have a strong organization as RAFINO in order to support our families as these events occur. 

Reunions don't just happen; they are a lot of work from dedicated individuals.  We have just had another outstanding event, and Jim and Glenna Martens and all of the committee staff greatly deserve the accolades from us all for a job well done.  As always, the administrative support from Bob Flewelling was instrumental in ensuring the reunions success, but unfortunately, just as two years ago, he was unable to attend due to a business conflict. 

Thanks to all of the committee for undertaking this task and creating the memories for us all. 

I look forward to hearing and addressing your thoughts and ideas to make our organization all that it can be.  Please drop me a line anytime at modenny@prodigy.net.

Sincerely,
