On a personal note, I would like to express my thanks to ACT I and to the board members for the opportunity I have had to serve as a member of this board during the past three years, and as secretary for the past two years.  Though frequently frustrating, this has also been a highly rewarding experience.  I am grateful for the dedication this board has shown to theatre in the Benton County area.  My best wishes to the board as it carries on its work this season, and particularly to Mary, Alex, and Alan as they embark on their new terms of office.  Many thanks to you all as I begin my new role as one of the regular membership.

Steve
