Dear ARDA Members:

Our Officers and Executive Committee have been busy over recent months planning our 2010 Annual Meeting and developing a new Association website.  I am pleased to advise that the new website is up and running. The address is http://www.amraildev.com/.  This website was developed for us by Bartlett & West.  We are adding additional information about our organization, its committees and our 2010 Annual Meeting over the next month.

If you haven’t already done so, please arrange for payment of your 2009-10 dues through the website.  Hard copy invoices can also be obtained if paying by check by contacting Bill Krupinski, our Executive Director, at krupinskib@yahoo.com.

In addition to dues payment, you can also register and pay online for the 2010 Annual Meeting as well as optional events during the meeting.  Optional events this year include golf at The Club at Savannah Harbor, skeet shooting at the Forest City Gun Club, spa treatments at the Westin Heavenly Spa located at the Club at Savannah Harbor and a Guest/Spouse tour of two private homes and gardens.  We would appreciate your payment of dues and registration fees for the annual meeting and optional events at your earliest convenience to allow us to get an accurate attendance count.

Please also consider encouraging your colleagues and associates to join ARDA and to attend our 2010 Annual Meeting in Savannah in June.  Our annual meeting will be a great educational and networking opportunity for all attendees.  We look forward to seeing you in Savannah!

Sincerely,

Richard C. Sibley

President
