We have been on an awesome ride this past year. The time has flown by, and we have so many people to thank for all of their hard work and dedication. I would like to thank Sheryl Yardumian for all of her contributions and vision as president, and I also send thanks to past president Denise Patterson for her continued involvement. A big thanks to all of the board members and committee chairs for their passion, hard work and dedication, which helps to make our organization what it is. I also want to thank Kay Coffin for everything she does every day.

I realize that many of us are busy with tax season, and while our board of directors doesn’t meet for a few months, our chapter has still been busy.
We held our first blood drive with the Central California Blood Center during the week of Jan. 11. We had 64 participants who attempted to donate, and 53 who were able to do so—which resulted in 53 pints of blood. For our first blood drive, these were excellent results. A big thank you to Denise Patterson who coordinated the drive and to everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to donate. Another thank you goes out to Britz Fertilizer, BPF, and MYW who had mobile blood units at their businesses. And of course, thank you to the employees of the blood bank.

As we are getting ready for the holiday season and winding down our chapter activities in preparation for busy season, I wanted to thank everyone for making last month’s Member Awards Dinner a huge success.
The evening was filled with excitement from the very beginning when the chapter received a certificate of recognition from Mayor Ashley Swearingin in commemoration of CalCPA’s 100-year anniversary. We were fortunate to have a very entertaining and energetic speaker who provided the group with some valuable advice. Later in the evening, we celebrated with beautifully decorated cakes complete with the CalCPA logo.

Fall has definitely arrived in the Central Valley. And with Thanksgiving only a couple of weeks away, it is only appropriate that we give thanks to some deserving people.
Our annual golf tournament was held Oct. 26 at Fort Washington. The tournament was a lot of fun, but most importantly, we raised more than $8,000 for our scholarship fund and exceeded our expectations. I would like to thank all of the players, sponsors, donors and, of course, Fort Washington for helping make this event a success. A very special thank you goes out to our committee members who spent several months planning the event: Bob Price, Edgar Blunt, Jim Gaddis, Brittany Giersch and Dave Denham. In addition, Denham Resources provided volunteers who helped the entire day. We could not have done this without your help.
