We’ve made some great strides in 2007 pursuing our goals for the DVHH, particularly forming a 501c3.  I especially would like to express my gratitude to Mike Polsinelli for handling our legal matters; Beth for being a great Secretary and John Kornfeind for the Treasurer position.  These jobs are VERY time consuming and each one deserves applause!   I also appreciate them continuing these positions into 2008.
