They gave me the floor so this message is going to be all about “ME”. If you could see me now you would see that I am rolling my eyes because as we all know when you are a wife, mother, woman, etc it is rarely about “ME”. But for this minute it is about “ME” and my current focus is that on or around September 5, 2011 I will become a Grandmother for the first time. McKinnley Ryann Zismer will be born and the circle of life continues. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. As I think about my daughter giving birth to my grandchild, I am amazed at how quickly the years have passed and the many changes that have come and gone in my life.

Through those years I have come to understand what is important in life. 

• Honesty
  
• Integrity
  
• Faith
  
• Family
  
• Friends
  

I diligently work at keeping those five items in my life. I believe they help make up the person I am today.

My NAWIC friends and family help make up the backbone of “ME”. My involvement and work in NAWIC has given me friendships I will keep for the rest of my life. Those friends have been there in the good times and the bad. When I needed a helping hand they were there with their help and advice. In return, when they needed my help it was my honor to be their support.

So here is my message to you: Get involved and stay involved. Find your niche in our organization and be a part of the camaraderie. There are so many areas to choose from, everyone can find a spot in NAWIC that will help you grow as a person and will become dear to your heart.
