Dear Colleagues and Associates,

     Once again, thank you for the support and unity experienced at the National Fall Conference. I pray that “we” as a national association continue to grow in unity and strength.
     Wyoming’s association has grown since the September conference. Your membership and continued support moved the Wyoming association forward in better business to better serve its members. Your support has given us the opportunity to pay the initiative’s attorney Gay Woodhouse and Associates, start a web site for the Wyoming State Denturist Association, have media printed and distributed to legislators, and the initiative is being printed this week to start the initiative drive.
      Wyoming’s success contributes to the growth of the National. Wyoming’s success strengthens your state associations and commits Wyoming to a partnership with present and new associations. The WYSDA asks for your membership and continued support along with your participation. The new web site (www.wysda.org) has been a success and was included in media sent to legislators.
     WYSDA goals include: web site maintenance, continued initiative consultation through Gay Woodhouse and Associates, creation of distinctive resources to increase contributions, offer education resources to educate denturists and the public, seek grants and offer program assistance for those in need of denture care and to help meet the goals of the National Denturist Association. Let’s build on what we have, so we don’t lose what we’ve built.
      Membership and continued support, along with your participation, will move Wyoming to the ranks of regulated states and provide the ability to support NDA goals. Thank you for your membership and contribution to the WYSDA. Thank you all for what you do for our profession. Each and every associate is a link to the success of the denturist profession.
     Austin Carbone’s quote to me, when I called him a year ago regarding Wyoming's quest: “Are you a member of the National…because that’s where it starts”.

In Your Service,
