Letter From Our President

1/1/2011

Happy New Year! As the New Year approached many of us watched the ball descend on various TV networks broadcasting from Times Square.  We all have different thoughts and expectations for the New Year. Some wish the previous year never ended; others cannot wait for a new start and new resolutions. I am very excited about 2011. It represents the Friends of 440 Scholarship Fund’s 20th anniversary. We have certainly come a long way with the help and efforts of so many.

We are planning a celebration party to honor some of the past recipients of the scholarship and some of the people who have devoted so much time and effort in helping the kids. Sharon McMorris has contacted some of the individuals who received an award to see where they are now and what they are doing. I am happy to say we have many success stories. I will not repeat them here but Sharon will send them to you soon. We all share credit for this accomplishment. A job well done! My thanks to all.

Additional information concerning the anniversary celebration which will be held on the Saturday night before the Workers’ Compensation Convention (August 20, 2011), will be forthcoming.

I hope your resolutions for 2011 come to be!

Richard Sadow, President
Friends of 440 Scholarship Fund, Inc.
