The Vice Prez Sez

I am honored you elected me to be your Vice-President
for the next two years; and, I thank you for your vote of
confidence. However, I believe the vote tally was close
enough to say, we should have had co-vice-presidents.

When I was asked to put my name in the hat for Vice-
President, I asked, “What were the duties and
responsibilities?” I was told, “Whatever you want.” Never
having been told that before, how could I say no? After
reading my job description, which confirmed what I was
told, I read the job description for our President and
concluded my primary mission is to help keep Larry
healthy and functional, because I certainly do not what to
have to assume his duties.

Not one to remain idle, I will be working with our Vice President for Recruiting, Rick Rosen.
Vice President for Recruiting is not a job for one or two people, but for all of us.

Rick and I have divided our membership into four districts by states. We would like each
district to have a District Administrator and each state to have representative for recruiting. In
that regard, in the near future, we will be contacting some of you to assist us in filling those
recruiting positions. We will greatly appreciate your willingness to serve. For RAFINO to
effectively fulfill its purpose, we need more lifetime members and new members.

Again, I thank you and look forward to serving with our energetic and enthusiastic RAFINO
staff, epitomized by our President, to address the challenges that are before us.

Earl Daniels, Vice-President

Is your birthday on file with us?

When we first started RAFINO, we tried to capture the month and day of
our members’ birth. When we moved to the lifetime membership option,
we added the full date of birth. While many of our members have provided Your Webmaster
this information to us, there is still a good number that have not done so. Robbie Robson

Please check your member record and verify that we have your full date of birth. When you
enter, or change that date, the month and day fields, which are used to produce our birthday
rosters, will automatically populate.

This is really important for our surviving spouses, for whom birthday information is often
incorrectly reported using their deceased spouse’s birthdate.

Contact me at webmaster@rafino.org if you need help.
