HAPPY NEW YEAR
On behalf of Gaston County ECA and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, we would like to extend a warm welcome and a “Happy New Year!” to both our new members and continuing members. Thank you for joining this organization, which continues to impact our community, both locally and nationally. ECA members provide numerous volunteer hours throughout the year - both hard work and lots of fun !
As your support staff, we are committed to working with ECA and helping to streamline paperwork, help meetings to be more efficient, and to respect your time. Please know that if you have questions, suggestions, or comments - we are always here to listen. Communication continues to be one of the most important factors in club success.
Gaston County ECA has a excellent Executive Board - your continued support of this group is greatly appreciated. By continuing to work together, building each other up, and supporting our members, 2011 is going to be a great year!
Warmest regards,
Pam Bryson, ECA Liaison
