From: President of AL/ANFP

I greatly appreciate everyone for all your participation and support for the year that I have served as your president of AL/ANFP Chapter. It has been a great opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with you all. I have learned the important of this chapter and how we make a different. We are growing for a better chapter! Not only does the chapter provide training and education but insight into the most important issues we face by operation of food service industry changes. It gives us the opportunity to share our values to each member. We want everyone to reach their full potential in nutrition and food service resources.

We are gearing up for our 2017-2018 year of our new officers that will be installed on October 12, 2017 at the fall meeting; they are as follows: Lynn Barrentine as President , President –Elect Bionca Lindsey, Secretary Rhonda Stanley, and Treasurer Janice Blackmon, we take our hats off to these new officers. We are looking for an exciting year ahead of us!

Thoughts for everyone: If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm. As you get older you must remember you have a second hand. The first one is to help yourself. The second hand is to help others.

I thank you for a great year.
