From
The Mother Lode Section President
Greetings to all and
welcome to the 2007-2008 season! I thank you
for allowing me to serve as the Mother Lode
President. I also thank the board for taking
the time out of their lives to stay involved
with our Section’s activities.
We welcome this year’s
officers as:
Chuck Pasillas – Vice
President
Melissa Blevins – Secretary
Meggan Kessler – Treasurer
Our Board of Managers as:
Owen Howlett
Doug Coleman
Steve Sheckells
Juan Jose Villatoro.
We have an exciting
schedule ahead of us that is sure to keep
the tradition of the Mother Lode Section of
being on the leading edge of the industry.
Many thanks and praise to
past officers and board members for your
guidance and creativity for keeping the
Mother Lode Section going for many years.
You truly are the reason we have a method to
share and explore our passion for the art
and science of lighting.
For those of you who are
new to the Mother Lode Section, or are
returning from some time away, welcome. I
encourage you to participate and contribute
in the operation of the Section. It is
people like you that we need as future
Section officers and committee chairs. New
ideas are never frowned upon, and are what
gives the section new opportunities.
On a more personal level,
thank you to Connie Buchan and Gary Flamm
for your continued involvement and advice
you share with me. Your service stretches
far beyond what is considered reasonable and
I cannot see myself being this motivated
without seeing you two leading by example.
